That is not true, as you know low bodyfat does not make you morbidly obese.
BMI does not take into account bodyfat at all, it is a simple height vs weight calculation.

Obesity is the condition of having so much excess body fat that it is deleterious to your health.Obese doesn’t automatically equal “fat”
That’s not the definition of obese. Look it upObesity is the condition of having so much excess body fat that it is deleterious to your health.
So, actually it does automatically = fat.
Prove it.That’s not the definition of obese. Look it up
It amazes me that you people can speak with such certainty when you’re factually wrong
BMI is the tool used to determine whether or not one is obeseProve it.
I can predict what you are going to do. You are going to find a flawed definition that mentions BMI.
Then I can explain to you why that definition is flawed and conclusively prove it is wrong.
Remember, I'm the expert here. You are not.
Although most Americans are fatties, the BMI scale is a poor metric to go by.That's only 6 years. And to make it sound worse, 1 in 4 Americans will be severely obese. This is not a disease of being lazy, this is a dietary and nutritional hellscape, with some parts of the country being in a food desert, surrounded by high fat, low cost food choices. Some is pure gluttony, as well.
A tidal wave of fat, and the ailments that come with it, now appears virtually inevitable in the United States.
New research finds that by 2030, nearly half of American adults — 49.2% to be exact — will be obese. In every single state, no fewer than 35% of adults will have a body mass index of at least 30, the threshold that defines obesity.
New year’s resolutions aside, this is not about whether you’ll fit into your skinny jeans a decade from now. Body mass index, a measure of fatness based on a person’s height and weight, has its limitations as a predictor of personal health. But in large populations where rates of obesity are higher, people tend to be sicker, live shorter lives, and incur steeper healthcare expenses.
And that means the new study results are a harbinger of pretty poor American health.
Even worse: As the nation continues to accumulate fat, nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults will have“severe obesity.”
Defined as having a BMI of 40 or above, severe obesity will become about as common in 2030 as regular obesity was in the 1990s. Where Americans were already obese, the generation behind them is expected to become severely obese — and their risk of joint and back problems, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and early death will be even higher.
The findings were published in this week’s edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

By 2030, nearly half of U.S. adults will be obese, including the nearly 1 in 4 who will have severe obesity. The obesity rate will surpass 50% in 29 states.www.latimes.com
That is not what BMI is. BMI does not measure fat and therefore cannot determine whether or not an individual is obese. Only crooked politicians and their handlers and dupes consider it to be a tool to determine whether someone is obese.BMI is the tool used to determine whether or not one is obese

BMI is not a valid measure of obesity in medical science. This is proven by the fact that "normal weight obesity" exists. Somebody with normal weight obesity falls within the normal range on a BMI chart but still has an unhealthy body fat percentage.
BMI comes from a Belgian astronomer named Adolphe Quetelet back in the 1830s. He came up with the formula BMI = mass divided by height squared. It was prima facie ridiculous and consequentially widely rejected by the medical community. Quetelet had no scientific basis for his simplistic formula. So it was widely rejected and fell into obscurity.
Until over a century later in 1972 when the infamous celebrity quack Dr. Ancel Keyes brought it out of obscurity in his "scientific" paper "Indices of Relative Weight and Obesity".
Mr. Keys was a corrupt corporate shill who's initial claim to infamy was K rations. He's the guy who decided that instead of an extra 400 calories of food in the K rations to sooth our soldiers' hunger, they needed Chesterfields.
As a consequence, post WWII the rate of smoking in America skyrocketed. And so did the rates of cardiopulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
He further gained infamy (and money) with his now thoroughly debunked "diet-heart hypothesis" in which he claimed that dietary saturated fats caused cardiovascular disease. Then he committed research fraud to try to prove it.
As a result of his psuedoscience, people have replaced the healthy saturated fat in their diet with sugar.
This has caused widespread obesity.
Did you even bother to read the post that you responded to, moron?The report in the OP based everything off of BMI, nothing else. Did you even bother to open it?
Dam right. No City is safe from thuggery.Many people would love to walk more.
But if you live in dangerous cities (no need to be specific!), you could be sucker punched or murdered.
That's why some hotels advise their guests to take a taxi/rideshare even if their destination is only two or three blocks away!
"Overweight" but not obese. Muscle is much denser than fat.Most bodybuilders are technically morbidly obese
First definition in Google:That’s not the definition of obese. Look it up
It amazes me that you people can speak with such certainty when you’re factually wrong
Fair enough, I stand corrected, definition wiseFirst definition in Google:
Obesity is a disorder that involves having too much body fat, usually a body mass index — also known as BMI — of 30 or greater.
Yeah I know YOUR focus is on BMI. But it is understood that it is a high percentage of body fat. Your problem is with how we measure obesity

Correct. The BMI scale is used to show trends across populations in countries, it doesn't/can't determine fat, and where someone's weight is from.Obese doesn’t automatically equal “fat”

It also doesn't take into account frame/bone size.
