Seriously, standards of normality get stricter year by year, and scaring people makes good newspaper headlines. Also, what medical researcher would YOU fund if he said "Most of you are OK"? The funding goes to the bloke who says "You're all gonna die unless I get everything changed" crasher2000 Brisbane Forums Member Joined: 04 Oct 2006 Posts: 25 Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2007 5:57 am    Post subject: theres a section on the site.. can judge if u are overweight or not on the basis of height/weight.
