I guess we all need to get with the program.
EVERYTHING is now racist.
All those factors were fine, muscle mass, etc., until someone said the magic word.
Call it the Lizzo Legacy.
To b ehonest, the waist-height ratio is not accurate for anyone who has a lot of muscle tissue.
Well timed for the Chris Christie run. 👏
I’m glad 300 pounds can be a normal weight, even 306.
They’re calling black people FAT
That’s what it says
Unless she pretends to be a man - and even then she is still a fat, black woman.
Being a fat ass is now “Normal” according to BMI
Some doctors won't do hip replacements if the BMI is over 35.

What do think about smoking Kools?
AMA encourages Medical Doctors to go against Medical Science.
Whatt fine buncha wokists.
BMI is stupid. Its a simplest and highly inaccurate method of determining whether someone is obese. It totally disregards someones muscle mass and bone structure. Look at it this way. Take a 100 meter sprinter. And then take a 10K runner. The BMI of the sprinter is much greater than the 10K runner. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is not obese. She has very little fat on her body. But her BMI is much higher than Agnes Jebet Tirop a Kenyan 10K record holder. BMI is fake science. We have ways of measuring fat. BMI is not a good one.
Since Black life expectancy is 5 to 7 years less than Whites you would think they would want to go in the opposite direction. But I’m not a Doctor.
Like we trust anything the AMA ever will have to say again. Ever.
I don’t need no stinkin’ AMA..I deemphasized BMI myself!😎
Chris Christie finally has something to cheer about.
During COVID I stopped working out and exercised/walked much less.
I went to my next physical and was feeling quite fat and unhealthy. Only to find out I’d actually LOST 7 pounds over the year.
So I love your illustration of the volume of fat versus the volume of muscle. It really rings true.
I applaud this. An incompetent doc wanted to put my 5 year-old through a blood draw simply because of low BMI. I switched doctors and the new doctor gave the all clear based on physical examination and overall growth trend.
