BMI | Dieting Culture | FatPhobia
Reminder that BMI is a bullshit standard invented by a white supremacist who thinks phrenology is real, and continues to be pushed because the people responsible for directing the weight standards with BMI are directors of diet clinics.
So remember, fatphobia isn't just wrong, it's fascist. It tears down your self esteem by dehumanizing you and then profits from the induced insecurity.

people with prominently visible ribs will be classed as obese just because they have like, large breasts, or dense bone structures. The number fundamentally has nothing to do with anything.
