I was always the fattest kid in the class. It never ceased to amaze me how many people thought I didn’t know!

Better yet, have them step on the chopping block.

I got one of those notes once. 9 1/2 pounds at birth and my BMI index was high.

According to her height/weight her BMI is 19.2 which is a normal BMI.

So the school can’t even get that right.

This article has the picture of the kid.

She does not in any way look overweight. In fact, if I had to go on how she looked, she almost looks like she could still use a few pounds, imo.

The chubby fifth grade girl in my class turned into a high school knock out.

4’, 1” and 66 lbs.? That doesn’t seem over wight. The lady had better consult the family doctor about that and the have the doctor write a letter to the school that they are full of sh-t.

“I know that I’m not overweight, so why should I believe the New York Department of Education?” she said.

I think her mind and body is right.

Something similar happened to a co-worker of mine. During our annual health screening, they told her she was obese (she’s anything but). Turns out the CNA taking her information mistakenely entered 54 in. tall instead of 5ft. 4in.!

How about we start measuring the BMI on all EBT/SNAP users? Then we can adjust the amount of dollars put on them based on the amount of calories they need to lose weight. When they hit a "normal" BMI, the amounts can be adjusted to maintain "proper" body fat.

Why waste all our taxpayer funded food money on fat people especially when they are getting it for "free"? How about a little discipline here!

Great way to turn a nice, pretty, normal little girl into a bulemic neurotic or worse! What in the world are these people thinking?

The BMI chart was made for undernourished Asians.

5'6" and 160 lbs is Overweight.
5'9" and 170 lbs is Overweight.
6'0" and 190 lbs is Overweight.
6'3" and 200 lbs is Overweight.
