The morning news informed me that, according to the BMI index, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are slightly overweight.
This was in the context of offering an even more one-size-fits-all measure of weight: all men with waists of over 40 inches and all women with waists of over 35 inches are overweight. They're right that there's a problem with the system - but I wouldn't say this is an overly constructive replacement.
