Being fat is bad, who knew?...

Next they’ll tell me smoking and being hammered are bad too.

Oh boy. That means that the poor blacks are more at risk; they are far more likely to be overweight because they eat at places like McDonald’s or Burger King or Taco Bell or that cajun chicken place, Popeye’s, I think.

Now Math and Biology are racist.

I’m working on how to make Physics racist as we speak.
After that, Organic Chemistry.

And on that note, everyone should see the movie “Idiocracy.” It’s pretty funny. Wealthy, privileged white people put off having children until they’re infertile, while the poor white trash rednecks breed like rabbits. So the population dumbs down over time.

Maya Rudolph and Dax Shepard (sp?) play two people who are somehow frozen in time and re-appear 500 years into the future, when everyone else is completely stupid.

“Dr. Craig Mallak’s work in the morgue tracking Broward County’s COVID-19 deaths startled him so much he shed pounds that he didn’t even need to lose.”

Wow, I wish I could receive such startling news today! ;)

Wait until Crayola crayons removes all colors that could be associated with “white” privilege.

Gee, it is almost as if China designed a virus just to attack America. Whodathunkit?

Well, clearly physics is racist. In fact, Albert Einstein must have been a racist! He was Jewish and a racist! The general and specific theories of relativity? OBVIOUSLY racist!

Everything is racist, racist, racist!

LOL!

Certainly that peach color that we all used for skin must be removed immediately. Brown, dark red, yellow, those are all okay, though.

I actually own that movie on DVD because I thought it was such a great statement on our culture.

“Welcome to Costco. I love you.”

Totally correct. The issue is Metabolic Syndrome .... higher Type 2 diabetes, inflammation, etc. The virus is not “racist”, but if you have Metabolic Syndrome & are already inflamed, you’re likely to have a more severe course of COVID. Also, if your Vit D levela are below 30 ng, you’re more likely to have a severe case of COVID.

The SAD (Standard American Diet) way of eating is killing people. Literally. Big Food & Big Pharma & Government Guidelines are keeping people on the wrong track. Medical schools are teaching docs to prescribe drugs for symptoms instead of fixing the underlying issues (most of which can be fixed with diet/lifestyle changes).

Anyway, lots of info out there if you’re interested. I would suggest DietDoctor.com, anything by Ivor Cummins, Dr. Ken Berry, etc.

If you want to see an area where REAL help could be given to the black community instead of tearing down statues & torching buildings, rioting, all of which accomplishes nothing of true value, read this article ....:

“A person who is off the normal weight by about 40 pounds could be considered obese.
.”

Whew...I’m only over 30!
