There wouldn't be a problem as long as it is framed as a health issue. BMI of 31 is serious fatass and unhealthy.

I calculate that for a woman of median height of 5'4" (1.63 m), a BMI of 29 corresponds to 277 lbs (126 Kg)

Hey, the fat ass girl paid her taxes just the same as the skinny amenorrheic jogger. This ain't right.

Tell that to Arnold Schwarzenegger. At his peak, the Governator had a BMI of 31. (6'2", 235 lbs.)

The BMI is not a suitable measure of fitness for body builders, and many other athletes. There are more suitable direct measures of % body fat. I doubt that Arnie had more than 12% body fat at his peak.

Your argument might have some merit if the BMI system was screwed up to being with.
