1. How long ago was this? 'Becoming a problem' implies that it is a new-ish thing, and an observation from 5 years ago isn't really current.
2. Are you sure you don't mean "hard to find 1 morbidly obese person everyday? You do realize that a BMI of 30 or greater is obese, right? And In non-tight and non-revealing clothes, you probably aren't even going to be able to tell a person with a BMI of 30-35 is obese. But they are according to studies like the linked article refers to.
For instance, this guy is obese (BMI of 30.7): http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/511-220.html http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/511-220.html
And this guy is overweight (BMI of 26.2): http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/603-210.html http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/603-210.html
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoSO the problem is, the definition of overweight has changed to 'anyone that doesn't look good in a bathing suit'?
- will_work4tears 14y agoI don't think it's changed, I'm not commenting on that, merely saying most people don't realize they are, or are seeing an obese person. People think Obese = rolls of fat when in fact you can be pretty fit looking with clothes on. I'm pretty sure a BMI of 30+ is still not the healthiest. Just not as obvious as a person with a 40+ BMI (morbidly obese)
