The model in question on the cover of the magazine is 5‘11“ (google).
A buddy of mine on the BMI comes up as obese in the ratio between his height and his weight. He’s also an MMA fighter with about 3% body fat. He’s about 5‘8“ tall and built like the Hulk.

Best rule of thumb I know is your height should be at least twice your waist (guys like Ron's buddy excepted).
In other words, if you can wrap yourself around your waist twice, you're OK.
And a contortionist.

If I were what my BMI 'suggested' my weight should be, I would look super sickly. BMI is a 'suggestion', IMO, and you have to factor in other things into a person like body type, if they do work out or not, etc.
Body image is the bane - and death, sometimes literally - of women all over.
I’m 6’2 & 215lbs with a 34” waist. Using one of these BMI calculators….
It states that I’m overweight. 6’2” = 74” - (34” x 2) means my height is twice my waist plus an extra 6” so I’d say this BMI is a load of BS.
The guy I was describing above a couple of posts has about a 30” waist, 5’8” height, and about 200lbs, and EASILY double my strength (but 20yrs younger than me also).
5’8”=68” - (30”x2)= 8” taller than double his waist size, but obese on the BMI.
Again, this guy is about 3% body fat which means closer to zero than any of us will ever get.

This below chart is for Males, but if Iost 20lbs somehow to get to the high end of the “Health Weight” I’d look like I was fighting Cancer, & if I got to the low end of the “Health Weight” range, I’d look like I was just rescued from Auschwitz.
He could have framed it better but his point is well taken. While she is pretty, it's truly unfortunate she's so obese. But now-a-days, being unhealthy seems to be okay. God forbid we be honest & Peterson was - just not very diplomatic LOL. BTW this also applies to men!!!!fat illustrated.
Me too. That is why I don't care what their scale says. I'm 5:11 and just shy of 200 lbs. Also crowding 67. Been close to that for about 8 years now. Worst was 215 lbs. I felt like the Michelin man. That was when I discovered my thyroid was not working. Best was when I was about 42. 180 lbs and not an ounce of it was fat. I worked harder then. In those days the only fat loggers you seen were truck drivers, machine operators, and the odd foreman.
I like the BMI thing. One of the most amazing scams in history.
It was supposed to replace the old height/weight table. So what does it measure to plug into its formula?
Height and weight.
It's like saying measuring gas mileage in L/100km is somehow a revolutionary new concept, better than the tired old km/L.
It's measuring the same thing, morons!

So, bolded the point that is most interesting right there.
Medical conditions happen which can have people gain/maintain a heavy weight and/or struggle to lose.
So to swing this around to the OP - what if that were her situation? She 'carries extra weight' because of a medical condition?
She does all she can to control her weight.
Does that still make her unacceptable to a magazine cover?
Or could it possibly be a chance to expose such problems and the fact that what you see in a picture, movie, in person, when it comes to a person's weight, could have more things going on than "just eating junk" or "not exercising"?
It's one thing to say "okay no, she's not pretty enough", that's personal opinion. But to use her weight as an excuse is a whole other issue.
(this isn't to say there is a problem with her; again, I personally thin she's gorgeous and good on her for making the cover)
So. . . judging somebody by their body shape is WRONG and IMMORAL, but judging them by their facial bone structure is A-OK?
Bottom line is SI chose this model presumably to increase sales of their magazine. If their gamble pays off, they will make more $. If not, they will lose $. If their target demographic for this issue doesn't like this model, they won't buy. My guess is that they will lose a fair bit of their target demographic. The question becomes, will the ones who are all happy about the choice buy enough copies to make up for the shortfall? My guess is no. Of course their are non-monitory side effects such as free advertizing for their magazine, etc. When they add up alll the + and - it will be interesting if this was a successful business venture or not.
No.
I'm saying that what goes into someone's body shape - and makes them 'fat' - may be more than just overeating or not exercising.
Exactly. It was all aboot monetary gains and exposure.
Every year the swimsuit issue comes out the nutters start screaming misogyny as though these women were forced into photoshoots.
