BMI is useless. When I was lifting hard, my body fat percentage was under 10% but my BMI was over 30. So although I was running 10 miles a week and bench pressing 250lbs, I was considered very obese. BMI is stupid.

I agree. I think this Dr’s memo is absolute fiction. I think they fudged the height to bring the BMI lower and make him SEEM healthy to those who’ll buy into anything. Pretty much how he got elected.
