This will be interesting, because you know that the BMI thingy will be deemed racist. (Seriously.)
You are right. I had not thought about that. Since minorities have higher rates of obesity than whites, I wonder how they will avoid the charge of racism? Unfortunately, minorities have been so conditioned to do what government tells them, that they may not even resist.
FYI:
BMI not a health measure. BMI was never meant to be a diagnostic tool, and children with BMIs over these arbitrary cut-offs on growth curves do not necessarily have clinical complications or health risks, according to CDC health scientists. After its comprehensive review of the evidence, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concluded that there is no quality evidence to support that childhood “overweight” or “obesity” is related to health outcomes. The evidence shows that BMI fails to predict fitness, blood pressure, body composition or health risk. Even a recent 50-year prospective study found no association between children’s BMI and heart disease later in life, and other research has found weight to be unrelated to children’s risks for insulin resistance.
