[ExI] Problems with the BMI

[Max More]

I have a couple of new blog posts recently. The last but one was: "6 
Ways to Mismanage Risk".

I've just posted another one on the flaws in the Body Mass Index: 
"BMI: Badly Misleading Information"
http://strategicphilosophy.blogspot.com/2009/07/bmi-badly-misleading-information.html

This is a good example of a measure being used in public policy 
making (as well as personal life) that clearly violates the 
Proactionary Principle.
