The only time I have been at a "normal" BMI, I was sick, depressed and consuming only lettuce and alcohol. Now that's healthy.

It's much like the height/weight tables concocted by the insurance companies back in the day. They are designed so that insurance companies can charge you more for your insurance by claiming that you are unhealthy based on weight alone. BMI is used the same way. If you have to buy your own insurance, there is a BMI penalty above a certain BMI that can almost double the cost of a premium, even if there are no other indicators of health problems. Check out Kate Harding's BMI Project to see just how ridiculous BMI really is. People contribute photos of themselves along with their BMI. The visual disconnect between the physical appearance of the person and their weight category (underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese) is shocking. http://kateharding.net/bmi-illustrated/ BMI is beyond ridiculous.

A funny tool on my site enables you to see which celeb has the same BMI as you. Good for a laugh because some of the BMI's are waaaay off. http://www.notdieting.com/2008/03/im-mariah-who-are-you.html I agree the BMI is a big joke.
