Did they walk down the road and ask the intelligent people this question? I know I'm getting pudgy, 225lbs and 5'10" isn't "ideal" according to BMI, but I'm not obese. If they can point on where I'm supposed to lose 30lbs on my body that would be nice. Any smart person can tell when they're fat and when they're not. The problem is when the "smart" people who come up with a way to measure who's fat based on their scale. BMI fails and thats what they base alot of their findings on.
