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.

I am trying to think up something pithy, something that Grocho Marks would have said, but nothing comes to me.

“Hey, you big bully! Quit picking on that little bully!”

One of my favorite Groucho lines.

“They were all rich white women in those tight tan riding pants.”

My wife does dressage and did show jumping in her younger days. 5-7, 125 lbs and fits into those tight pants quite well.
I know what you mean. I go to her horse shows and my tongue falls out.

I read somewhere that Pacific Islanders(Samoans, native Hawaiian, etc) were on average the biggest and fattest people on the planet. That they had evolved over the millennium into bigger body mass because those people survived while the skinny folks died out.

Several Samoans are in the NFL as offensive lineman. They are the dudes with a whole bunch of vowels in their name.

Some of my personal Groucho Favorites:

Last night I shot an elephant in my Pajamas and how he got in my pajamas I’ll never know

I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception

I sent the club a wire stating, Please accept my resignation I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member

Room service? Send up a larger room.

African Americans adopted some of the worst aspects of the high-sodium western diet, despite their sodium-retaining physiology still being adapted to life in African climes. This leads to their high rates of obesity, diabetes, hyper-tension and heart disease.

My belief is that most weight loss plans will work if you stick with them.

I have heard many success stories of people who “cured” their diabetes though low-carb diets.

Of the 16 states with the highest adult obesity rates, all but Delaware and Michigan went for Trump in 2020.

We know that Michigan was stolen by vote fraud in Detroit. This looks like prima facie evidence that Delaware was stolen from Trump too.

Blacks tend toward high fat/high carbohydrate diets, mostly because they are less expensive but also because of their southern heritage. The South has always been high on the fatness scale, whites as well as blacks.

Carbs...

Asians process carbs complete different than other ethnicities.

If I ate the typical asian diet based upon rice I would easily be 400 lbs even if I only ate 2000 calories a day.

They biologically process carbs completely different than other races.

Even on a 2000 calorie a day diet, if I ate the typical asian based rice diet I would weigh 400 lbs.

“When it comes to females Cosmo

Is Hammertime a cause or effect?

Dr. Birx Mentioned obesity as one of the strongest comorbidities correlating to a bad outcome from COVID-19. She mentioned this very early in the pandemic. She must have been told never to mention it again because I never heard it again. Instead of telling people to do something about obesity in order to stay healthy, people were told to wear a mask and stay inside and order your food delivered. Sickening.

Isn’t that interesting, that Dr Scarf TRIED to get the truth out, early?

EVERYTHING they forced/mandated/did with this has only exacerbated, or PRODUCED, any health issues that are susceptible, to this horrid china virus.

Getting outdoors, fellowship, being with your grandkids, volunteering, etc., would have gotten us past this, last year.

Oh, no! We had to jeopardize our health (for many, fatally) and, then have these ineffective and risky shots mandated, first. 😡

I think corn oil is fattening. Few things are more fattening. Soy oil and canada oil are.
