there's *always* shit in the media about how a ridiculous percentage of us are overweight but walking around on the average day i don't think i see that many overtly fat, nevermind what i'd describe as "obese", people (and bear in mind i live in the heart attack capital of europe)

just read this article which basically states that using the BMI to diagnose individual's as overweight/obese goes against its original intention and may infact be completely counter-productive - http://fozmeadows.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/female-bodies-a-weighty-issue/

do YOU think we're as fat as rupert murdoch would have you believe?!
