I'm actually turned away from buying this game for their use of the BMI. It's not that I don't like what it'll tell me, I know my own body weight, it's that it has nothing to do with actual healthy weights. The data for the BMI was collected in middle Europe during the industrial revolution and the average person wasn't exactly well-nourished.
If you ask pretty much any doctor, they are going to tell you it's safer to be 30% overweight than 10% underweight based on the BMI scale, and that's because the BMI isn't based on healthy weights at all. Heck, the BMI considers Brad Pitt obese, and I would be pleased to have a body like his. Or at least I'd be pleased by a lot of women, on a regular basis, if I had a body like his.
The BMI is a joke, and it's high time society stopped letting themselves be lied to. You don't need to be on the verge of starvation to be attractive, but you do if you want to score well on the BMI.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
