42. There's definitely a case to be made that the stricter standards
of what qualifies as overweight have a lot to do with this. I'm 6'3", and according to the BMI standards, unless I keep my weight under 200 I'm categorized as overweight(???). That's ridiculous.

Of course, I just came back from the cafeteria where I stood behind a guy who probably weighed 300 pounds buying two huge hot dogs smothered in chili and cheese - and a large coke.
