      BMI is not a measure of health. It is a statistical tool.

        To further illustrate your point, most of the men pictured are likely ‘obese’ by BMI standards

        Yes, welcome to the conversation

      But that would also eliminate all obese people from the media. Which is like 30%+ of the population.

        That would be a side benefit of an otherwise bad idea.

        And the massively underweight that women are supposed to aspire to

        Whichever way you skew it, unrealistic bodies shouldn’t be there
