Yeah I like the spirit, but BMI is such a stupid and flawed measure. It’s ok as like a population level heuristic to say things are trending one way or another, but like athletes that have lots of muscle and are tall look the same as morbidly obese people to BMI, which is obviously silly.
I feel like we have ways to use body fat measurements and should just use that instead. I feel like modeling should only be able to use people that represent somewhat realistic body goals though, so I’m actually fine with not allowing the 0.25% most fit people out there to model. If it’s not realistically attainable by the average working person, you shouldn’t be on a billboard.
