The highly unscientific poll aspect is irrelevant. The question should be, who would want to know the body fat percentages of potential consumers (as identified by IP addresses, cookies, and other methods of online tracking used by the forms)? This would obviously be useful for targeted advertising, for example. And this information can be correlated and gathered in giant databases with profiles of consumers.

Well, maybe it's just me, but I can see their data being posioned by checking different numbers to see all animals :)

Data brokers do not seem to care if their data is poisoned. That's their customers' problem! Their customers don't have any way of validating it, so there's no incentive to care. Haven't you ever received spam that was based on some extremely spurious connections?

I did that too but the first number I inputted was my percentage. I'd say most people would do the same thing.
