There is literally nothing that is these people's fault. Nothing.

I am constantly amazed when I see a 400-pounder, and they have a baby, and may even be pregnant.

It is hard for me to imagine the mechanics, let alone the attraction, to make that happen?

Fat black women in the South absolutely DGAF how fat they are. And damn can they cook.


They do when their back starts killing them when they’re 100-200 pounds overweight and they can’t move without pain.

Many doctors have claimed that black women's "excess" weight is the main cause of their poor health outcomes, often without fully testing or diagnosing them.

In related news, doctors also "claim" people who smoke often have poorer health outcomes without every testing or diagnosing them.

It's outrageous!

Man, I would stab someone right about now for a pork chop platter from my favorite southern black country spot.


I am no pit boss, but I have - with the due amount of humbled pride - mastered the smoked pork butt.

Pulled pork butt tacos are amazing.

It isnt genetics that makes someone fat.


To some extent, yes, it is.

If your people, for generations upon generations grew up surviving on little food whatsoever, then the fittest survived by being able to have the slowest metabolism, because that gave the best odds of reproduction. When that culture is suddenly exposed to an abundance, the genetics passed down will dictate that, on average, that genetic group gets fatter.

It's not racist. It's genetics. And it's how God ensured we'd survive. And it's one of the interesting wrinkles that this world has given us to deal with.

I've known people skinny as a rail who have to take diabetes medication or blood thinners because their body can't properly process the food they eat, and even though they're skinny, they have high blood pressure or clogged arteries. I've known fat folks who could pass stress tests and don't have high blood pressure.

I myself do better on a mostly protein diet. Carbs frick me up, and I gain more weight with more carbs. Fat's and proteins, given the same caloric intake, are better for me maintaining a weight that I want.

I routinely stand behind 1-2 obese black females in line at the grocery check out counter. Their carts are over flowing with crappy, horribly unhealthy foods & sugar loaded drinks. Not hard to connect the dots.

At 600 it is physically impossible. So on the TV show the men explain that they've never had intercourse with their wife. A typical guy is dumb, wimpy looking, has to wipe her arse cause she can't reach it and when she goes into surgery he says "I don't know what I'd do if she dies. I love her so much." And then he starts crying. But they've never had sex.
