Body Mass Index (BMI) is a pretty good indication of how healthy a person is with regard to their weight. There are exceptions, of course, for particularly muscular individuals, but the truth is found there more often than not.
I'm not sure how significant it is that this particular doctor is recommending schools record BMI aside from the fact that she happens to be married to the governor. Perhaps the next headline will read "Wife if N.H. Governor Against Smoking." Still, if she can use her spot in the public eye to get people to stop over-feeding their kids, good for her!
