"Mama, when I grow up, will my butt be as big as yours?"

In a new study of U.S. preteen and teen girls, daily exercise was strongly linked to weight and obesity in white girls but not black girls.
Although it's still important to promote physical activity in all young people, according to the researchers that may not be enough to prevent black girls -- who have a higher rate of obesity to begin with -- from gaining weight.

“it’s clear that people get fat because they eat more than they need. It’s all about eating too much. If you eat just enough to keep your temperature at 98.6 degrees and support whatever physical activity you have, you won’t gain weight”
I might say that that’s too simple and too true for people to pay attention. It is, but that’s not the problem. People will continue to complicate the battle of the bulge for the same reason they needlessly complicate everything. To make money, to attract attention, to grab power. Fatties themselves will know deep down, I trust, that behind the mumbo-jumbo it’s all about how much you take in versus how much you need and how much you move.
They’ll listen to what’s a good carb and what’s a bad carb, what’s good fat and what’s not, but it won’t matter. Eating less and moving more is hard. Eating lots and eating things that taste good make you feel good, however briefly. Fatness will win, because it is the inevitable result of wealth. Which is to say people will be fat if they can be fat, because that’s just how we’re made.
It’s like how all it takes for my dog to eat himself sick is to put out enough food to make him sick. If it’s there he will eat it.
“Now, just where would you get a ridiculous idea like that”
For the record, Sir Mix-a-lot’s mantra was something like “Little in the but she’s got much back.” Seems most people over look the little in the middle part. It’s not about being fat; it’s about waist to hip ratio.

I eat way more calories per day than that and still don’t gain. No sugar and no fake sugar works. After going on a low GI diet, even my arthritis disappeared. Of course, I eat whole foods prepared at home, but it’s all the real stuff: bacon, butter, eggs, meat, etc. I don’t trust any charts or dietary advice from Big Gov. These girls are literally and figuratively Kool-Aid drinkers. The big thing in the hood now is the large cans of kiwi strawberry drink by Arizona. It has 25 grams of sugar per serving and there are three servings per can!
I ate more calories back then because I was a jock but not much more...Had a big fat chocolate sundae almost every day when I first worked....but that replaced lunch. I worked next door to a Kresge's and they had a lunch/soda bar.
I also flirted with the candy man at school and got a free Hershey bar every day.
Sometimes I'd give the candy bar to the school nurse (a nun)....and she would pronounce me sick and I would miss chemistry class. Ahhhh...the good old days.
Seriously, there is more mass in that butt than the whole little girl.
Yes, they do... that being said would wife this black women in .00002 seconds or less and proceed to make babies...and support with my own money of course.. 
thank you...
And yet, they keep winning the track and field medals. OTOH, they don’t win at cross-country or marathons. Hmmm.
The winner of the Indy Half Marathon is always a black girl from Kenya or Nigeria. Is that unusual?
Many of the long distance races through out this country are won by women from African nations.
LOL, for true!
Hmmm... what rhymes with "mass"?
Africans have nothing in common with their so-called African-American counterparts.
for couch potatoes maybe
My great grandfather ate crisco sandwiches(two pieces of toast with cold crisco between them) and he looked like a concentration camp survivor his whole life.
That’s for sure. In fact, they don’t like each other at all.
This is a political study, not a scientific one. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fat, black girl in Africa.
I’m thinking DNA has A LOT to do with it all. My Dad is 86 and he’s 6’3” 220lbs; has been his entire life, never fat.
I’m 6’ 210; been fat my entire life.
Yes exercise made a difference up until about 35, then only diet made a difference. I can diet down to 190, but I can’t exercise to anything. I think exercise is a good thing for your health, but a non-issue for weight. High protein/low carb is the only diet that has ever worked for me; fat is irrelevant.
My Lord...with an a$$ that big the Allies in WWII could have used that as a pontoon to bridge the Rhine!
