They use BMI, Body Mass Index, which is a flawed concept................... EXACTLY. Using BMI, I am overweight. However, with a BODY FAT CHART, I am classified as FIT. If I lose about 5 pounds I am considered Athletic.
Problem with BMI is it assumes a sedentary lifestyle. With Exercise, bone density increase (huge issue for Women and old) as will as muscle mass. With active people, BMI is BS.

For me to have a "healthy" BMI...I would need to weight 165 lbs
I would need to lose massive muscle volume and probably cut off my head to be a "healthy" 165 lbs...
Then I would be a brain dead liberal !
