Statements like this are where I part ways with the whole HAES movement BMI is a pretty good predictor of poor health, which is an extremely well-verified fact Weight stigma is awful (from personal experience) but BMI is certainly not its causehttps://twitter.com/theintuitive_rd/status/1223253206848999425 …

You seem to be defending a single metric tho? I really think you need to make the individual vs population distinction in your original point. And I don’t know why you made it about HAES. HAES doesn’t say everyone’s healthy no matter their size. It says focus on heath not size.

It's an opinion (the original tweet) that I've only ever seen espoused by HAES people. I think we can all get behind reducing weight stigma - I don't think that means that BMI is useless
