BenQ phone calls you fat

I'm not sure what BenQ is thinking, but they have apparently thought of a way for future iterations of their handsets to include the ability to tell you your body fat ratio. All you need to do is touch the two separate electrodes located at the cellphone's sides, and the built-in chip will automatically measure the electrical signal between them that in turn determines the body's impedance, resulting in the amount of body fat your chubby self has. Pretty interesting idea, but chances are you won't see many units fly off the shelves as people generally want to be told how slim they are.
