I wonder if the growing amount of household debt is kinda like the whole BMI/fat argument.
Yes, the BMI is not the end all and be all of weight/health measurements. But the fact that so many people overall are getting so fat seems to be a major problem in the grand scheme of things.
But instead of seeing that or doing something about it, it seems like people try to key in on the fact that BMI may not work for the odd fellow that is "big boned" (healthy but higher in that metric.) That somehow seems to make people feel better, dismiss the overall concern, and just go on and get even fatter.
Just rambling out loud - then again, perhaps I am missing the forest through the trees.
