In India, and the third world in general, rich people are fat. I don't why, but they adore chubby kids.. it is absolutely disgusting.

Because in times of need, which were common back in the day being fat was more a sign of health and or wealth than anything else. If you were fat you probably had money and connections and weren't starving to death like so many people faced.

And BMI can't handle extremely muscular individuals, e.g. NFL offensive linemen.

Aslo if you are genetically muscular and your not tall then you're fat!

There's a hole in your tinfoil hat. Need to get that looked at.


It's true :sneaky:

Makes sense. The rich are the one's who are more able to immigrate. Thus they and their fat kids are moving here.

Yeah. There was a report out recently in India.. that said... more than 40% of the kids below 5 are malnourished.

Sometimes, it is really hard to deal with all this. Do I feel bad about all of this.. or feel happy that I am/was not one of them?

BMI doesnt work on me, at 6'1" I think I am supposed to be something like 140-180? I dont think I could be 140 without being dead or on my way there, rofl

That's WAY too wide a range. I'd say average 180, plus or minus 10 percent.

At my height I should be 140 average. (Am nowhere near that now.)

I'm 6'1 and got down to 135 once during a depressed period. Now I'm overweight at 224 lol. But still better than my max of 260.
