This "problem" is not a problem at all.They go by the idiotic,stupid BMI index.Its a total waste of time.Im 5'10,according to the BMI I should weigh 160lbs.I competed in a bodybuilding show in May,my bodyfat was 4%[immersion]I weighed 224lbs.If I got down to 160 Id be dead.According to the BMI at 224 Im grossly obese at 4% bodyfat.
Ronnie Coleman used to weigh 310lbs in the off season and his bodyfat ,they say,never went above 5%[whether thats true or not I dont know but in his vids hes lean at 310].He would be MASSIVELY obese according to the stupid ass BMI.There is no national obesity problem with kids,its the methods they use to measure what obesity is thats the scandal.
