8. I don't understand why people still use BMI
I'm 6'0"..225 lbs and right at 30 on the BMI scale (obese.) I also have 14% body fat and lift 6 days a week... A far cry from obese.

Are exceptions made for large physically fit people? In any case this is more nannying ( is that a word?) Isn't college supposed to be a time of independence?
