Why don't you read how they got that list -- things like number of restaurants, number of sporting good stores, etc... not very scientific. The Money/CNN list was based on BMIs from a sample of the population. CDC data also considers BMIs. Obviously the list is different -- and probably more accurate, that way. |

Never trust a magazine that includes sentences such as this: "Houstonians are playing far less sports than last year" If they can't afford to employ journalists who are able to use correct English, then they can't afford to undertake accurate surveys either.

The average BMI is almost 25? For most females, that's overweight...
When my BMI was 24, I needed to go on a diet because of health concerns. Despite what statistics say, I think males can get away with a higher BMI without health problems or being classified as "overweight" or "obese". But I still think considering a BMI of 25 as "low" is generally a pretty scary principle. At the same time, you don't want to know the average BMI where I work... S.

In fact, I've never heard of anyone calling a BMI greater than 18.4 "low". Mine is usually around 24.1 but sometimes gets up to 25.6. I consider myself to be fat. For me, I consider anything greater than 23.2 to be overweight but the charts say anything greater 24.9 is "overweight" and 25.9 "obese". 18.5 to 24.9 is considered to be "healthy", not "low"; 18.4 and lesser is "underweight". San Francisco 24.8 Guess m'fellow citizens are rather hefty. -- __________________________________________________ ______________ A San Franciscan in (where else?)
