The problem with BMI can be shown by the fact that Mr Schwarzenegger's well

be in that category!

So, guess which indicator our wonderful government uses to tell us all
there's a growing obesity problem....

So which indicator do you suggest would be better? Remembering, of
course, that the actual body measurements used must be simple, quick
and cheap, if GP's and Joe Public is to use them.
