Wii Fit calls kids fat, lol.
- Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.
Funny. I mean this in all seriousness, but what about big boned people? Isn't BMI going to throw that off, too?
Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.

There really is no such thing as "big-boned people." But the BMI is broken; average BMI is useful for looking at a population, but not an individual person. It's just dividing the height and weight, so it has no information you can't find by looking in a mirror.
Since it naively divides height and weight, it's not useful for athletes; it doesn't account for muscle mass. At 6', ~190lbs., my BMI is 25.8, which is "overweight," and is clearly wrong.
