Take note obese people; You are in the majority now so you can make up the rules just like the communists are doing now.

The BMI chart is unrealistic. To get into the healthy zone for height weight and frame, you’d have to be a dedicated endurance exerciser burning off the most stubborn fat. Most professional athletes measure high because the chart doesn’t take muscle mass into account.

A more realistic chart would add 10-20 lbs to the healthy zone across the board.
