Why do we give women and their kids food stamps to help them maintain their weight when so many are so fat? shouldnt we cut their EBT credits based on their weight or BMI? If a woman has a fat kid why does she need help feeding him or her? Shouldnt we be the ones that help her tell the child no? why cant we cut stamps for fat people???
I agree with the sentiment but bmi is a shit indicator of health. It makes no distinction between weight from muscle and from being a lardass. Body fat percentage would be a far better indicator of what should be allotted.

There's a few different ways, most common being the use of calipers by pinching fat in different areas, but most ways can be wildly inaccurate. The most accurate way is to get a machine reading (there's a couple different methods), but it is prohibitively expensive to the point that most people don't bother. Think $100 to $300 range per reading. At that cost it probably wouldn't outweigh the decreased payout.

Ohhh calipers...when i was a young man we called it "Can you pinch an inch?" if so you were for sure fat.
