Way to go USA! I am honestly disgusted at our society as a whole. It is so focused on consumption and convenience that we lose sight of what is truly important.

There would be more validity to this if BMI wasn't used to determine obesity rate.

Using BMI, what would the obesity rate of this board be? 75%?

At 6'1" and 218, I'm obese according to BMI, despite being at around 10-11% body fat. Not a valid tool.

Yeah, it doesn't work at all for people with more muscle mass than the average person.
