Perhaps people are overweight, but I don’t grant any credibility to most of these weight charts. A guy with a big build might be classed as “obese” when he’s not.
A one-size-fits-all criteria is a scam.
I believe this map is accurate. I see more obesity on a trip to the Middletown Walmart than a week out in Colorado..
As many fat people as there are in California, this chart is hard to believe anyway.
Result: everyone was "obese" except four-- the QB, two back-up QBs and the kicker.
They were merely classified as overweight. My own BMI was identical to Troy Polumalu, the great defensive lineman.

You are right about that mate. By these assholes criteria Jim Brown in his prime would be overweight.
I’m 6’3 and 215 lbs of muscle. I carry 11% body fat and I am considered “overweight” by the BMI index.

Those stupid charts always indicate I’m too short!
Perhaps people are overweight?
Most of us are overweight. It's a function of our society where virtually no significant physical activity is required for most occupations and many of us spend hours watching television or playing on the computer.
All this with immense amounts of food available, even to the so-called poor.
I commute to NYC by rail and I received a flyer at my train station talking about taking a shuttle to my car directly from the train. I only park about 1/4 of a mile from the station but they are advertising this shuttle service so that I don't even have to do that!
You are fooling yourself to think otherwise. And nobody is classifying guys with "big builds" as obese.
