The average ham has become fatter than the average cow... Upon seeing this amazing picture by /u/IAHA, I wondered what was the BMI of a cow. To compare what's comparable, I measure the cow as if it was reared up (couldn't find a cow doing this). I use this formula: head-to-tail + rump - chest = height. According to the Canadian Ministry of Agriculture the average cow has a height of roughly 11 feet and a weight of 1550 pounds which computes to a BMI of... 62.5! Not bad considering the list of the heaviest people. So there you have it. The average American woman measuring 5'4" needs only to weight 364 pounds to be a cow. Next time you see someone that looks like this you can proudly tell them that they are literally fatter than the average Canadian dairy cow. (I hope I got my calculations wrong even though I double checked... A fat cow only has a BMI of 80+).
