Obese is a clinical term, why shouldn't the NHS use it?

Because it might hurt someone's feelings On a serious note they need to stop using the f*cking BMI index, it's genuinely worthless as a piece of measuring whether someone needs to lose weight or not. Christian Bale in Batman was clinically obese on a BMI index in that film. They should look at what actually clearly matters, fat %, lifestyle and eating/exercise habits. Studies show that 'overweight' (and what IS overweight? Above the mean as everyone is different) people who exercise are healthier than people within the bell curve of normality who don't _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

standing on scales then standing against some height measuring device vs standing on scales that calculate your fat % It might be quick, but it's so dirty a mirror is honestly a better solution hmmm _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
