Our stance on the BMI I'm having a mild facebook argument with a dude right now.  He's spouting the line that the BMI is totally useless and should be abandoned immediately because it's causing more harm than good.  I told him it's an extremely useful tool for doctors to get a fast snapshot.  It's not meant to pinpoint anything specific, it's a shotgun, not a sniper rifle.  I mentioned HAES pretty early and he immediately dismissed this and said he has 4% body fat and huge amounts of lean muscle and by BMI he is obese.  I said that's fine, but you're the 1%, BMI is for everyone else.   I'm straight up normal, my BMI is mid 20's I think 24 maybe, I have no visible fat anywhere except a small pad over my abs, so the BMI literally plays no part in my life.  But as a tool for people that are overweight I still think it's extremely useful.  I'm just curious if I'm in the minority here.  I mean, clearly people that are classified as obese are going to say it's totally useless so I want to hear from shitlords if it still has a place in health discussions.
