And all become anorexic?

What if it's not even what they eat? What if it's just that they're built that way? I have a friend that can diet all she wants but her body just doesn't loose fat because her body's just like that.

I say bad idea.

What do you do with people who have thyroid issues, etc? It's an interesting debate.

BMI is a terrible thing to base that off of.

That too, people who are athletic and muscular, especially men... their BMIs will show they are overweight/obese even though they clearly are not.

It would be the same as making people pay more taxes because they're of a certain race. Both obesity and skin color can be due to genetics.

Smoking can raise how much you pay for insurance why shouldnt being over weight.

What you need to remember is health insurance is not mandatory.
