Why is BMI a bad health indicator?

Why is BMI a bad health indicator? DB gets passionate about the fact that fatphobia is so pervasive it needs to be unlearned. She goes over the fact that you can't tell how healthy a person is just by looking at them and some of the structural and interpersonal ways that fatphobia is perpetuated. --- Sex Ed with DB, Season 7 is Sponsored by: Lion's Den, Uberlube, Magic Wand, Future Method, and Freya.
