Don't You Realize Fat Is Unhealthy?, by Kate Harding.

I am thin.  I'm 5'10", and the most I've weighed is 150#; I usually weigh between 140# and 145#.  (It fluctuates based on how sedentary I'm being, PMS, depression, diet, and I think meteorites.)  Allow me to absolutely confirm her point, that thin != healthy.  For lo, I eat like shit.

And I swear to holy fuck, I think every two out of three articles I read about weight and being fat include something about BMI, including this one.  Dear the world: BMI is a steaming pile of shit.  Instead of treating it like a true metric, try treating it like a stupid internet quiz, instead.
