Oh fuck *off*.

Everybody knows BMI is a shit measure anyway. Why does an entire profession, scientifically trained, ignore the evidence of the scientific method? Knowing that BMI is shit because it measures only weight with respect to height rather than anything else like bodyfat or muscle, still they persevere with it because they can't be bothered to do anything else.

Are they going to turn away athletes like Martin Johnson or Matthew Pinsent?

Cunts. Morons. I despair.

Yeah. I hover on the edge of the 30 mark (when I can be persuaded to be weighed at all, which is rarely), but my doctor has expressly told me not to attempt to lose weight because of my eating disorder history. I find it difficult to estimate the chance of any NHS system taking account of this situation without using the words "snowball" and "hell".
