Body Fat % Chart

Can I just say that I really hate this chart? First of all, it goes from "acceptable" to "obese." What? You don't even get to be classified as "overweight" before you're "obese"!

And if you're at a healthy body fat percentage, you get classified as "acceptable." How condescending is that? It's kind of the equivalent of getting a C in school. This chart is seriously not impressed with all the hard work I've done to be at this healthy body fat percentage.

And after "acceptable," it goes to "fitness". I thought I was in pretty good shape. I've been working out since I was in high school, and I consistently do difficult, high-intensity workouts several days a week, and yet, this chart refuses to let me be "fitness" until I lose another 4% body fat. It kind of pisses me off.
