If you haven't seen this, you should. And you should send in a photo with your height and weight!

Shapely Prose started a photostream showing people of every BMI category - "underweight", "normal", "overweight", "obese" and everyone's favorite "morbidly obese". Check it out (as Kate says, looking at it as a slideshow with comments displayed is quite powerful).

It's kindof amazing. Many of the "overweight" folk just look average-sized [Probably explained by the Day Everyone Became Fat Overnight - when we gained several thousand fat people instantly thanks to BMI category changes.]. The surprise for me? Many of the "underweight" people do, too. So do a decent number of the "obese" people. People just look like the people they are.

Instructions on how to join up are on Kate's post.
