That is bull shiiiiiiiiit

So many ragefaces I have made over this. Setting aside the fact that as a definitive measure of health BMI is at best inaccurate and at worst complete horseshit, and also setting aside the fact that "healthy" and "fat" are not mutually goddamn exclusive, this is still complete horseshit. It's not about anyone's health. If it was, they'd be making people in the unhealthily-low end of the BMI spectrum take similar classes. Or even better, they'd be making EVERYONE take similar classes.

fffffffffffffffffffu.

or hell, make the smokers take a course to quit.

Or the drinkers. Can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if every student who drank more than x alcoholic beverages a week was required to go to a certain number of AA meetings to graduate?

But they're not testing all students for health risks like substance abuse? Oh wait- college.

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into that specific BMI. Basing it solely on your height/weight doesn't give an accurate measurement, especially considering that muscle is pretty darn heavy all its own, and thus according to that system the more in shape you are the higher the number.

Oh man, what bullshit. It's bad enough we're forced to rack up ~PHYSICAL ACTIVITY HOURS~ in high school. I mean, come on--personal health is the individual's own personal business and it ought to be left well enough alone. It's not even the effort that goes into the classes, it's the public humiliation.
