I deliberately kept away from any argument around this particular level of BMI is/isn't good. I think BMI as a diagnostic tool is pretty weak. As a measure of how population "fatness" is trending over time it's probably pretty decent and the direction of the trend is up. There are also a really large, and increasing, number of people in weight categories that are clearly bad for them. I'd really like to get away from arguments about where the BMI tipping point is and onto how do we help people lead healthier lives.
