The BMI is ridiculous since it makes everyone except a skeletal vegan overweight but there are some seriously fat people out there as well - people so fat they can barely walk anymore.

According to the BMI, President Bush is overweight and on the line for obese. Does that make sense. Buckhead, you are right that there are some severely overweight people especially amusement parks and walmart, but I still think that they inflat the numbers by a huge margin.

“....there are some seriously fat people out there as well - people so fat they can barely walk anymore....”

A visit to Disney World confirmed that for me. The use of wheelchairs was astounding...and mostly for obese people as opposed to the disabled. A bit of excersise, like walking, would benefit most of those people.
