It's the same as the BMI Index.
According to that, someone like Johnny Wilkinson would be an obese net fatty.

BMI is a shower of arse if you take part in almost any contact sport or are vaguely welll built.
My BMI is 26.6. My body fat percenate varies between 12 and 14%. I think I know which one I'd pay attention to.

BMI of 30. Body fat percentage - 5%. Being simultaenously obese and also having a fat level so low that physical health could be adversely affected is rather an achievement, I thought.

No, really.
BMI really only works if we are in fact two-dimensional. Comparing height to weight ratios is completely idiotic. Proportion of muscle to fat is a far more effective comparison.

Simply put, if you have a pie addiction, you need to go on a diet.
No need for over complicating things as you say though. Trouble is most people who look normal on the outside are considered overweight by strict BMI comparison.

it was this one
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k0fs0
it was interesting, basically Nixon's agricultural minister industrialised American farming, this lead to excess corn, that corn instead of going to waste was refined to make corn syrup. Corn syrup was then added to other foods to make them sweeter, corn syrup contains fructose, fructose is a type of energy which is not only very fattening but actually seems to suppress your body's 'I'm full' reflex.
the WHO organisation was going to set fructose & sugar limits in food, but the food industry said 'FUCK YOU', so they've settled on trying to promote low fat foods instead.
So your fat because: America

no it doesn't
because it doesn't make any allowance for build and it doesn't consider muscle levels.
Like Luggage says, it's only useful if you are two-dimensional.

Agreed on the basic outline.
However, the basic outline in this case is still wrong. It was invented by an obscure Belgian mathematician who knew nothing about human biology. Hence why I think it's a crock.

lots of countries are fatter than me. BUT having been trying and failing to find a dress that fits around the top and the bottom, i am coming to the depressing conclusion that it's all tits and they have got to go. if i were flat-chested, i'd be way up that scale.

Of course they do, how on earth else would they do it? Unless you want your nips on the underneath?
Also, there a plenty of places that'll give you dresses that fit round the top and bottom, woman. You're just trying to buy dresses from designers that only cater for the small boy look.

You really want to know?
you'll end up with too much skin, so some will have to be removed. I'm assuming you don't want massive scars on the top of your tits, so they'll only cut skin away at the bottom so the scar is hidden underneath. If you take the skin at the bottom away, your nips will move downwards, so unless you want nips actaully underneath they will have to be moved.
