Metro,

As others have indicated here, your BMI is not the be all end all.

I have flown with guys with BMI's through the roof! They were athletes carrying very little fat.

However, eyebrow's were raised at the level of their BMI's.

What do they do? Stop participating in life and become walking skeletons?

The CASA medical section really need to get out of their Canberra offices and smell the roses!

What's with this BS about BMI and Alcohol and Drugs all of a sudden?

Public Servants justifying their positions!
