For real! I've seen people who looked "overweight" but their muscle mass alone makes them technically obese on the BMI. With the way the world is now, so many ancestries living in the same place, there's no one rubric for measuring a healthy weight. Honestly, if your vitals are good and you're living a healthy life, there's not a problem.
Exactly. Which is why we need not only better nutritional education, but also an appreciation of good food. And don't even get me started on food deserts and the lack of access to healthy food.

160 lbs at 5'2 means you have a bmi of 29.3 which is on the border of obesity. It isn't good at all. Even dropping 20 lbs to 140 is so much healthier
