I just don't understand what physical fitness has to do with attaining a college degree, unless it IS your degree. The fact of the matter is, it's targeting all the wrong people, at the wrong age. Like I said, I'm sure my BMI was far below 30 in college. It's certainly not because I ate in a healthy manner or exercised - it was sheer luck and/or heredity. What usually happens is once you hit 35 or so, even if you were rail thin, your metabolism goes into the toilet and you gain weight. I wish I would have gotten more used to having to work out, etc when I was younger so I'd be better at it now. Not that I think the college should have taught me that, just saying that I wouldn't be a "target" for this class at age 21, but I might be now.
And I'm sure there are people who are overweight in college who once they get out of school, lose the weight. Keep in mind, there are guys who are STILL growing till around age 25.
I think the course in general is a waste of time, but if one person has to take it everyone should.

How is "Healthiness/Exercise for BMI Over 30" targeting the wrong people? Look - the hereditary argument is moot. If you were "naturally" skinny, then you had to do less work at that age - you were at a natural advantage. This means that YOU DID NOT NEED the class - others, who had a natural disadvantage, DID. This is, like, the most obvious thing ever when separated from the stigma of (apparently) calling women fat.
Also the "ALL OR NONE" thing is unreal - I passed out of every single f-ing prereq at my school based on AP scores. That's no different than having an absurdly athletic BMI is it? Jesus Lord.
