Seventeen Magazine's Unhealthy BMI Chart
Sign Now
Seventeen Magazine (owned by Hearst Corporation) has a BMI (body mass index) chart on the page for their BMI calculator that says what they consider to be "healthy" BMIs. (Chart here: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lknl2htfjB1qapda5.png)
This is incredibly unhealthy.
A BMI of 14.5 will land a person, especially a teenage girl whose body is still not fully developed, in the hospital. A healthy BMI is a minimum of 18.5.
They are promoting, glorifying even, a body type and image that is not physically possible without killing someone.
This petition is to have it removed from their site and replaced by an accurate BMI chart.
