Anyone who still takes BMI seriously should be stripped of any professional certification they have in the fields health, medicine, and/or fitness.

I'm actually learning about dosing in my clinical pharmacokinetics course, and we're on the topic of obesity right now.

My professor included this chart in her lecture.

New England Journal of Medicine is a pretty credible source, and it seems to back up what OP is talking about.

You are right in that it probably doesn't apply to people on /fit/.
