I'm increasingly skeptical when professional articles about overweight persist in defining it by BMI. Body mass is higher if you are musclier, damn it. I also get really angry with women's charts and "test your body fat percentage" websites that tell ME to get on a reducing plan. My weight and 5'10", say, is a supermodel being fed speed and coke, not a healthy body ideal.

There is, although a correllation with many diseases, not necessarily a proven cause by "fat" (within reason) alone. Someone can be padded and yet cardiovascularly healthy. I'd very much like it if anyone was actually viewing things from an angle of what's genuinely most healthy and discarding their personal fetishes or culturally-instilled beauty standards.
