CDC: Asian-Americans are least fat; Blacks are fattest
SHARYL ATTKISSON ^ | : SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 | BY SHARYL ATTKISSON

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports the number of states with lots of fat people has nearly doubled since 2018.

Four more states have been added to CDC's obesity list since the Covid shutdowns.

Scientists say extreme obesity is a major risk factor for Covid-19.

According to CDC's stats, Asian-Americans are generally not fat. No state had an obesity prevalence at or above 25% among Asians.

The fattest, measured by race, which is how CDC categorizes the statistics, are Blacks. CDC says that 35 states and the District of Columbia have an obesity prevalence at or above 35% among Blacks.

CDC's fat map. Dark red from Texas thru Michigan is most obese. Next in line on the fat train are Hispanic residents. CDC says 22 states have an obesity prevalence at or above 35% among Hispanics.

And 7 states had an obesity prevalence at or above 35% among White residents.

The sixteen states that have the highest adult obesity prevalence are:

Alabama Arkansas Delaware (new this year) Indiana Iowa (new this year) Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Michigan Mississippi Ohio (new this year) Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas (new this year) West Virginia

Not that it matters, but all of the states on the list except Delaware and Michigan went in the Trump column in the 2020 presidential election.

Thank you. My observation (and not mine only) is that Asians get, for example, fatty liver at much lower weights than Caucasians.

White men import delicious looking Asian brides and pretty much stick with them for life.

Babies are born and the Mestizo/a is again a beautiful, thin, child.

It’s like a sci-fi dystopia. Our richest are the most likely to be thin and our poorest are the most likely to be obese. These things have never happened before in history.

And the most passively entertained and least used to sustained physical effort. And the most used to climate controlled environments.

Seeing headlines like this really does make me wonder how much of Mississippi’s stats are due to its highest-in-the-nation black population (over 40% black), like the fattest thing or the education stats. Democrats like to bash it as a deep red state, yet their biggest voters are probably contributing the most to that state’s various bottom rankings.

Was in London two years ago. Not many fattys over there. People walk a lot. Also, portion sizes are smaller AND no free refills on soft drinks.

I’m overweight but I identify as skinny.

I’m “trans-slender”.

I am on a Paleo Meal Plan now. The more fat you lose the better off you are when it comes to Covid.

Many black Americans also have some of the worst dietary habits in the world...fry, fry, fry in corn oil, etc.

Which is why they are fat

“Paleo Meal Plan

“When they come home to visit me they cannot get over the number of fat people.”

In one of Dinesh D’Souza’s books he told of a friend trying to come to the USA for 10 years. When he asked why his friend said: “I want to live in a country where poor people are fat!”
