Ferries in Washington state carrying fewer passengers per vessel due to obesity problem in the United States.

Ferries in Washington state are packing fewer passengers because of the dramatic increase in obesity among American adults.
Safety regulations limit the number of passengers per ferry, based on the estimated weight of an average adult.

Under new Coast Guard vessel stability rules, which took effect December 1, the estimated weight of an adult passenger was raised to 185 pounds from
the previous 160 pounds, the Associated Press reported. The new average weight was based on population data from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.


Oink Oink!

185 lbs. is fat?

I weight about 190 and still have a 33" waist. If I weighed 160 lbs. I
would look like a refugee from a famine zone.

If I weighed what the BMI calculator indicates what I should weight, I'd
look like a starving Ethiopian refugee. O_o

What is wrong with these ferry people?

Don't they realize that the fatter an American is, the better he'll float?

Same here, it says I'm 10 lbs. over the normal range for my height...
I'm not even a large built guy. I could probably drop 10 lbs. if I
worked at it... much more than that and I'd have to start wearing
suspenders because no belt could keep my pants from looking, um, "urban."

When I was working out on an island in The Pacific, we all got around
the island on bicycles and I was in the best shape of my life outside of
college when I was into gymnastics and Karate. In college I was as
skinny as could be at 180lbs. When I worked on the island I was a very
healthy 250lbs and could pick up a car engine. I became very ill with
something that gave me dysentery like symptoms and I dropped to 235lbs
and was very weak until my weight came back up to 250lbs. I'm trying to
get back to 250lbs from my current 275lbs and can probably get lighter
than that unless I can build more muscle mass. I'm setting goals and
getting there one touchdown at a time. ^_^
