How Anti-Fatness is rooted in Anti-Blackness

[Cynic]

Most black Americans lack the resources to be vigilant about their health and endure unique stresses in our community that make it difficult to be mindful of the causes that lead to one becoming overweight. Recognizing that anti-obesity is oftentimes a coded dismissal of this fact is not the same thing as celebrating obesity.

The two aren't linked. If anything a lack of resources would lead to slenderness. Take a trip outside the west.

This is actually true. It's only in the West that obesity is linked with lower socioeconomic status. Outside the west Obesity is seen as a "rich person" issue.

All of which can be avoided if health is a top priority. If it's not then people will try to create links that don't exist.

Like I said if it's not a priority then so be it.

Poor people are, uniformly, just happy to be alive and eating anything. Most of society would prefer they didn't.

And, no, what you said was that poverty and obesity don't go hand in hand in this country and I had to inform you of obvious reality. Now you talking some idealistic nonsense about poor people investing into their health. "Cynic", huh?

I won't speculate on poor people's happiness .

I stated poor people in the west have more resources than people in developing countries.

Do you have a counter argument to this irrefutable fact ?

Besides cost of living??? You really are just ignoring whole facts of life and shyt.

I notice people do this a lot in order to downplay black poverty in the US.

Poor people in the West have access financially to fast food and unhealthy foods. It's why they're obese. Compared to other countries which don't have such foods. It's why they're slimmer. Whatever you can afford you'll eat the most of. That's the link.

But that’s a misconception. Fast food is more expensive than grocery shopping. It’s the convenience and stress of their indigence that drives their unhealthy consumption of food.

Is this another yabussyclingon aka @yacacinclec00n rant?? How is this dumb c00n/cac faggit finding a coorelation between weight control, diet, excercise and nutrition being anti-black by association. I swear he lives and lies to make up scenarios bc his live-in adult sitter called a girlfriend pays him no attention and he only exists to his kids as an Uber dad for transportation purposes. If anything, the health benefit of healthy eating and nutrition resources especially in communities that need access is a positive . I’m not even listening to that shyt he posted .
