We just came back from an errand run. And with the thought of this thread on my mind, I paid more attention to the Joes and Janes out there, and to tell you the truth, we need no stinkin' BMI to see that people are, ah, well, too big.
Appearance aside, is there any question that there are health risks to be so big? It is funny how we take it for granted that it is normal for people to be bulging all over the place, until we go abroad and suddenly see these foreigners being so thin.
By the way, I have not seen a doctor who is overweight. In fact nearly all the ones I encountered are on the thin side. Nurses on the other hand may be a bit thinner than the overall population, but do not match doctors on the trimness.
