> Unfortunately this fact has been hijacked by "fat positive" movements like Health at Every Size. They take this fact that BMI is an imperfect measure of health and stretch it waaaaay too far in my opinion, with most supporters translating it as "I can be healthy no matter how fat I am," which is definitely not true. "Health At Every Size" was how it started, encouragement that you can improve your health despite not losing weight. For example, if you don't normally work out but decide to start, you're probably going to gain weight first - adding muscle faster than you lose fat. "Healthy At Every Size" is the corrupted version you're describing.
