That does not explain pro athletes preferring slender white chicks though...........
So there you go: exercise is a racist notion set up by evil white men to hold back little black girls.
Who knew?
Is there a politically correct way to discuss high rates of obesity in black girls??????

You know, I’m not a dietitian... But 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.
It’s not rocket science...
Next thing you know, they’ll come up with a black chart and a whitey chart....and we’ll be the ones told to eat our peas and shut up.
How do I doubt this??
Let me count the ways!!
I have an idea: lower simple carbs, increase complex carbs, fats and proteins, and increase exercise.
Ta-da! You lose weight and inches.
Wonder what’s on Mr. Ed’s mind?!
Genetics aside, diet and nutrition are about two thirds responsible for how much you weigh and exercise is the other third.
If you don’t have your nutrition and calories accounted for, exercising will not be too helpful in losing weight.
There are no differences among the races.
(Just in case.. it's meant to be sarcasm.)
It mus’ be jam, ‘cause jelly don’ shake like dat.
Welfare for single moms with 3 baby-daddies contributes to obesity.
i think they’d need to find a decent size sample of those who actually do it in order to find any meaningful patters...
>>Based on 32 small genetic sequences that have been tied to obesity in adults, people in New Zealand who had a higher genetic risk were heavier starting at age three, all the way through age 38 — the end of the study period.
Researchers led by Daniel Belsky at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina found that in their preteens and teens, people were more than twice as likely to be obese if they had more of those risky gene patterns than average.<<
Everyone who is overweight should just stop eating.
The important thing is to recognize that diet is far more important than exercise in weight control, and that being said, there are major differences between races in diet and metabolism.
One extreme example I like to cite is the Pima Indians of Arizona, who for dozens of generation existed on minimal diets punctuated by periods of starvation. They developed very efficient livers to the point where they could live for a very long time on 800 calorie a day diets. For an adult of European ancestry, 2,200 to 3,000 calories a day is about right.
Yet access to this much food gives Pima Indians endemic severe obesity and diabetes.
Likewise, most American blacks ancestors were from parts of Africa that were very old, geologically, with most salts and heavy metals leached from the soil. But North America (and Europe) is loaded with salts and heavy metals in its topsoil.
So American blacks tend to great sensitivity to both salts and heavy metals, with the incidence of high blood pressure at almost 50% among adults.
For this reason, black Americans need to figure out what their ideal diet should be, and not think that a typical European diet is right for them.
Maybe they drink more 16+ oz sodas than the others....(SARC)
And yet, they keep winning the track and field medals. OTOH, they don’t win at cross-country or marathons. Hmmm.
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.
