BMI=Bullshit Media Idea

Just had to drop a few words about BMI. It's the pinacle of what's wrong with society today - the quick fix. If it can be done over a coffee break, I'll do it. However inaccurate it may be.
BMI is about as useful as an icepick in the Sahara desert.

Ok, if you somehow missed this, BMI stands for Body Mass Index and is a calculation made from your weight and height.
It doesn't take into account your ratio between muscles and fat which makes it totally useless.

Ok, maybe not the the most interesting blog, but I'm just so tired of:
A) Quick fixes. It's called quick and wrong for a reason.
B) How BMI has been accepted as a measuring stick and I just had to vent.
