    Yeah the BMI is stupid. George Bush is the normal weight for his height. i’m 12 stone 10 and i’m 5 foot 8. i’m supposed to be overweight according to the BMI calculator but i’m clearly not.

    Ugh, people are still buying into BMI? The system invented in 1840 by a Belgian mathematician for the purpose of developing “social physics”? The system that states the Brad Pitt is overweight?

    Im skinny because of my genes, most Americans are fat cause they can only afford to eat Mc’ds, although if i ever started putting on weight i would fucking jog my fat *** around the block a few times.

    its no ones fault but yours if you get fat.
    you cant point fingers and say “he made me eat the burger”. you ate that buger.
    you cant say “i wasnt feeling good so i didnt exercise” because if you can walk you can definitly exercise.
    your fat. your fault.

    Funny, dont think there was many obese people at Aushwitz,,,or in eithiopia,,,,,,,maybe the fact that THERE ISNT ANY FUCKING FOOD had something to do with it…………………….oh but i forgot obesity is ‘genetic’ isnt it, Poor fat fuckers looking for an excuse.!!!!!!!

    stop msgn me with more research is needed and crap….
    fat people get fat because they eat and drink things they shouldnt, to add to that they dont exercise. genetics has little to do with it
    fucking stupid fat people.

    I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. Granted, a healthy diet and exercise is ideal but what does that truly mean? It’s all relative to the individual. Their are many other factors such as genetics, environment, socioeconomic and psychological elements to consider. What is needed is more science and less generalizing of this condition.

    The only reason for obesity is lazyness, **** diet, and lack of self control……….so stop complaining your fat, and go to the fucking gym!

    @bobjoshilly *** are you talking about?! if you were following the conversation at all you’d know because I mentioned it twice that I’m 6′5″ 160lbs. my only point was that diet played the main role in weight, which appears to be what you’re saying too… so I don’t follow.
