'As presented by Soul Fire Farm, the U.S. food system is built on stolen land using stolen labor from Black and Latinx indigenous people,' the brief says. 'Not only has this created a large scale food apartheid and trauma for people indigenous to this land, it has caused a disconnection of indigenous people from their cultural practices and identities.' Proof that certain types of salad can make people fat.

A BMI in the 30-40 range suggests that you are obese a person with a larger body. A BMI of 40 or more suggests that you are morbidly obese a person with a morbidly larger body, which carries greater health risks.

According to the woke crowd everything is rooted in racism. Obesity IS a health problem, seems ironic a university’s public health dept thinks it should be ignored.
