I have seen a lot of them. But I would say I only met 3 up close. The definition just really bothers me when I could be 6 foot 1 inch 120 lb and have close to 25% body fat and be considered obese when really that is skinny as F.

Sorry, not following you.  I don't see how somone 6'1" could be both 120lb and have 25% body fat.

But if you are a male, yes, 25% body fat is considered obese.  But if you are female, you have a little more room. 

I belive they go off when the body fat start making unhealthy changes to the body and death rates start to rise dramatically.

@bold exactly you would be surprised.

 

Obviously not even close to that anymore though.
