Does your BMI define your health?

Does your BMI (Body Mass Index) really define your health? Today it seems that we are working and concentrating so hard on being that “healthy person” based off of a chart. More women than men spend millions all together on diets, exercise plans that don’t always work for them. Some who are the healthiest they have ever felt because they just lost 100 pounds but according to the scale are still overweight. This is an issues majority of people fight and deal with on a daily basis, I know I do. I had a baby at the age of 15. How do I know what my body type would have been if I didn’t have a son so young? Could this obesity issue also be because what and how they are growing our food or how today’s economy is? It’s cheaper to eat fatty that healthy. It’s faster to buy a Big Mac than steaming veggies when you’re running out the door to work or for your child’s sports activity. When they designed the BMI scale did they look into different DNA (genes)?  Does our society think skinny is healthy? Who made this scale? Is this why we have more teen girls that starve themselves?  We see all over the news how America’s obesity rate is the highest today that it has ever been, is this because the BMI scale is off?  Is this a way to keep our medical careers so rich in profits sending patients to specialist? I have mixed feelings. I am considered to be overweight myself, which yes I do feel and see how I can lose some weight but at the same time having meat on my bones is more attractive than being skin and bones. I have never had high blood pressure, sugar cholesterol or any other health issues but see many friends that are thin and have a normal BMI and have a list of health issues.
