"A reduction in body weight does not automatically mean the person is well-nourished or healthy, "Collins told the Australian Financial Review.

Who in tarnation would ever assume that a reduction in body weight is an indication of being well-nourished?!

The same idiot that tries to apply the same "body mass index" to people without taking into account the actual bone structure (the "frame") of the individual.


I'm 6'4" tall, measure 54" around my chest, and 36" at my waist. I got down to 205 pounds several years ago, which at the time was still 20 pounds or so above my suggested weight according to the BMI chart. People that knew me thought I had cancer or some other terminal disease... At 225 to 230 pounds I look healthy and can still wear jeans I wore in college. Yes, I have a few pairs of jeans that are over four decades old... LOL!!!
