NBC=Nothing But Crap

[MMusson]

Yeah, right.

[Fai Mao]

So all the fat whites were discriminated against?

[silverleaf]

So it’s discrimination?
All this time I thought it was fudge rounds and chips…

[Obadiah]

Oh, obesity is due to racism. Okay, got it.

What a pantload.

[EEGator]

I’m lean, so being racist and having negro fatigue is slimming…

[Da Coyote]

And, in other NBC news, the earth is flat, lead can be transformed into gold, Biden is intelligent, and math is racist.

[Tell It Right]

Here's the money quote: "In individuals who reported experiencing high levels of discrimination, the photos of unhealthy, high-calorie foods triggered a larger response in the reward processing region of the brain, called the frontal-striatal region. This part of the brain is also involved with motivation and executive control."

Let's break it down. If a person is weak-brained enough to see discrimination everywhere ("reported" discrimination) all the time cuz that explains everything (channeling my inner Colin Flaherty), that same person is liable to be unwise in other areas, including taking care of herself. All the more so if that person is liable to blame other people for her own bad choices (reporting discrimination) and telling herself over and over that there's nothing she can do to change her outcomes.

No! I discriminate rapidly and rampantly! Does this mean I’m going to look like Rosie and Liz had a baby!? I’m already struggling with all my white privilege, I can’t handle additional problems!

[MichaelRDanger]

It’s called “sample bias”.

[ClearCase_guy]

Black men like ‘em big. Everybody knows that. Just ask Sir Mix-a-lot.

[RoosterRedux]

Actually, I would change that conclusion to "how one responds to discrimination may disrupt how the brain and gut talk to each other."

People who have made a decision to "not be bothered by discrimination" probably find that their brains and guts get along just fine.

On the other hand, wimps and sissies who get bothered by discrimination—real or imaginary—feed their sadness with Oreos and other sweets and turn into porkers overnight.

[Captain Compassion]

Madness.

So, if you’re discriminated against for being obese it’ll make you eat sugary foods and get more obese.

Quite a negative feedback loop.

Maybe we should normalize being obese. That should help them loose weight

[Skywise]

Oh absolute BS!

[Secret Agent Man]

So now the 85% of obese black women will claim racism/whitey/other people made them fat. This isn’t science.

We’re not the ones shoveling in the food and drink.

[Flaming Conservative]

ANY stress will trigger an emotional eater. They don’t call it comfort food for nothing. Did they test for any other kind of stress? To use only stress from discrimination as a cause, tells me that this was a wholly political experiment, and therefore, severely flawed and basically useless.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Walmart is racist!... Walmart is racist!... Walmart is racist!

[Dalberg-Acton]

It’s whiteys fault that Shaniqua is fat!
