I saw someone quote this statistic in another thread and I'm just curious--who really believes this? It's based on BMI, which is highly inaccurate on an individual basis. What about the BMI change in 1998 that made 25 million Americans overweight overnight? I know this horse has been beaten to death, but I am overweight by BMI but have 30% body fat and a 29" waist. I wear a size 8/10.
I'm not saying there's not an obesity problem, especially in children, but I think that the "epidemic" aspect is overrated. Just curious what others think
