The Benchmark of Corpulence
From this BBC article:
By the time of the next Olympics, doctors predict that three out of four people in the country will have a body mass index of more than 25, the benchmark of corpulence.
I just wanted to say that I enjoy the phrase "the benchmark of corpulence", and that people should use it more often in everyday conversation.
Also, that's an absolutely terrifying statistic (it's for the US). How long before there are no normal-weight people left?
