obese or is that what your doctors chart considers you? email this discussion to a friend?

I always wondered who came up the idea of a chart to determine if you were obese or night. I think doctors should stick to what they do best right prescriptions.

 
 
who made up the chart of what obese means.doctors are better off doing what they do best write prescriptions.

Well there is quite a bit more to a doctor's job than just writing prescriptions! And determining whether or not a person is medically obese and in need of treatment is one of those things of course. But with that said, I myself have always thought that those charts were a bit off. If you go by what those height/weight charts say*I'M* considered overweight for my height..which I'm not at all by any means. I suppose their charts could use some more work but perhaps it works for some people better than others.
