A recent article in the Daily Mail suggested BMI was not a good measure of health?

If Jonah Lomu has a BMI of 32 but is not considered clinically obese then there must be a problem with the system. I reckon most rugby players would call him Fatty Fatty FAT FAT in the changing rooms.
What do you think?

It is not an indicator of health
Just fat
You can be fat and healthy

Well the Daily Mail get their knickers in a knot about every little thing, so I'd take what they say with a pinch of salt. It's a scaremongering rag for old biddies and the braindead. And for the record, they were wrong about the MMR jab. So there.
And Jonah Lomu isn't fat, he's built like a brick shitehouse and there's a difference.
It doesn't measure stuff like cancer, of fitness. Just fatness. I've got a lowish BMI, but I'm far from fit. Muscle weighs more than fat anyway.
