    As always though, BMI sucks for athletic people. Six pack on a good day, still 'overweight'.

    Because I am a huge freakin geek, my immediate thoughts are that the statement of how much total weight would be removed or added to the world if everyone was the same BMI is wrong. The Conservation of Matter says otherwise. Matter can not be created nor destroyed, only change form. So, if everyone were the same BMI as me, it would not change the total weight of the world. It would only change the form in which matter existed within it.

    Actually the statement is: total weight removed from the human population... and therefore correct.

    Ah yeah I misread that. Oh well, back to feeling bad about being the biggest fat *kitten* in the world.

    Your BMI is 23.

    You have a lower BMI than 88% of females aged 45-59 in your country

    You have a lower BMI than 65% of females aged 45-59 in the world

    You are most like someone from Singapore.


    Something about this seems off. OK, I'll buy that I'm slimmer than many woman my age in the chubby US (though not slimmer than 88% of them) but according to that chart I have a lower BMI than the average woman my age in Sudan.

    Though possibly if you make it to my age in Sudan, you're either part of the elite or one tough cookie.

    Clearly you both don't know any Ethopians, lolol.. Just because you see "some Ethopians" on TV (part of a program asking for money to feed the needy, perhaps?) looking like skeletons doesn't mean that's the average.
