To keep the same BMI, taller people have to start looking like bean poles

Tell me about it, for my height, I should weigh what I did in Jr. High (before I stopped growing). Granted, I could drop a few pounds, but I ain't getting back to what I weighed at 13 or 14.

Buddy of mine is a cycling fanatic. He rides, literally 100+ miles weekly, and the only fat on him is whatever he ate for lunch.

He's also got a stocky build. At his physical, his doc took one look at his BMI and told him to drop 20 pounds. "From Where?" my friend said.

Then he got a new doctor.
