"Stereotypes about body size can be misleading
About half of overweight people have normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels
16 million people in recommended weight range are at risk for heart problems
Experts: Waist size good measure of determining health risks"

If BMI was used to determine if someone was overweight or not...it throws the study results into doubt.

e.g: If two people are about the same height and around the same weight...the one who has a narrower waist and more weight on chest and arms would have the same BMI as one with all the weight on the waist. One of the two is obviously more fit than the other even if the BMI says both are overweight.

This is a Scam run by the USA chicken industry. Many chicken processing plants are closing down in USA so the Chicken lobby must have paid some university to come up with this result and encorage people to overeat.

This is how corporate America works.
