Why are you so concerned with black women? And for your information, American women in GENERAL are fatter than everyone else...you fuck.


I've seen plenty of fat-assed white women, but I guess it's just SO bad when a black woman is fat.

The research for this is still being conducted. First, blacks overall - men and women - have higher rates of obesity than whites. For one thing, blacks in America have a less healthy diet than whites. Blacks still eat a lot of soul food or slave food. Food that's fried, fattening, processed, high in sodium: fat back, chitterlings, hot wings, pig feet, fast food, etc. We seem to prefer food that taste good versus what's healthy. Oftentimes, blacks don't have adequate access to health care or they may not trust the medical establishment. Remember the Tuskegee Experiment. Many blacks don't get or believe in getting regular exercise. Certain southern states - AL, Mississippi, GA - have higher rates of obesity, and a lot of blacks live in those states and eat that delicious yet fattening southern cuisine. For women, it can also be emotional. Black women are often the backbone of the black community. As a result, they are often overstressed and exhausted in every way possible. Overeating for many black women has become a coping mechanism. However, it is very unhealthy for them and leads to obesity and countless other health conditions. Generally, women are always going to be fatter than men because they have less muscle mass. Men are more muscular and less prone to fat. This is what gives men a leaner look. Women need a certain amount of fat for child bearing and sexual attractiveness.

As far as the other minority groups, their health status normally decreases when they come to America because America has one of the most unhealthy diets of any industrialized country.
