AMA Sez Body Mass Index Measure ‘Racist'

[Breitbart[ Body mass index (BMI) categorization is a "racist" measuring system, according to the American Medical Association (AMA), who called for using "alternative measures" to diagnose obesity instead.

In a press release from last week, the AMA announced its decision to adopt a new policy to clarify the role of BMI — a simple metric comparing height and weight for the purpose of inferring one’s total body fat — as a measure in medicine.

#3 One of the problems with BMI is that it only considers weight and height.
Consider someone who is 235 pounds, and 6'2" tall.
His BMI is 30.2, which is "obese".
Yet, those are the measures of Arnold Schwarzenegger - when he was competing for the Mr. Universe title. Look at his picture on his Wikipedia entry and tell me he looks "obese".
