Enemy of Entropy

The Insanity of BMI

1 March 2008, 11:37 pm. 4 Comments. Filed under Health, Size Acceptance.

Kate Hard­ing cre­ated this very cool slide show to show just how absurd it is to rely on body mass index to deter­mine whether or not peo­ple are at a healthy weight.

BTW — I did not “miss” blog­ging yes­ter­day. Feb­ru­ary 29 was the only “day of rest” for Blog365, so I took it :-) It felt odd, though!

    Thanks for shar­ing this. It makes some­one who falls just in the “obese” range feel a lot better.

    That’s really nifty.

    And I’m quite amused at the blog365 day of rest :) It makes per­fect sense, though.

    I am in the flickr col­lec­tion for BMI, but she did not use me in the Slideshow. I was intro­duced to size accep­tance a while ago, and it has really changed how I look at health and weight :)
