Can you at least bother to look up the definition of the key words before arguing?

Obese: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity

Overweight: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overweight

Oh I wasn't aware that there were testable definitions. Then I consider it unlikely that the adults in the German family are either obese or overweight. On what are you basing your claim that their BMI is greater than 25 kgm^-2?

Also BMI is getting phased out in favour of ratio between circumferences of hips and belly. It has much better correlation with lots of diseases than BMI.
