“Obviously, white supremacy is trying to maintain the power structure. So celebrating a thin white body as the ideal body is a way to ‘other’ and demonize black and brown bodies, bigger bodies, anyone who doesn’t fit into that norm. So this is really about maintaining systems of white supremacy and patriarchy.”

“Europeans noticed black slaves were naturally thicker and decided they didn’t want to pursue that body ideal anymore.
Doctors are some of the worst perpetrators of anti-fat bias, Sole-Smith said.”
Yet they’ll demand medical treatment when their overweight leads to diabetes, heart disease, damage to their joint and other medical conditions linked to overweight.

Oh, I thought black people being obese was the result of white supremacy. I’m so confused now.

Leftists hate the beautiful because it is beautiful.
They hate the good because it is good.

The last time I checked, thin people exist in all colors, cultures and religions. Similarly, fat people exist in all colors, cultures and religions. Like other woke persons, this so-called author is an idiot - as is anyone who believes her lies!

Obesity was a key morbidity linked to Covid death. It is lazy to claim a problem is linked to slavery and white supremacy. For many years, being stout was admired and associated with wealth.

Well then...seems the silver lining is that those who hate “whitey” and everything “whitey” stands for will not care about their own shortened lifespans because of how a healthy “whitey” chooses health over fat. That means doctors, cholesterol meds, heart meds, bypass surgeries, gastric bypass surgeries...and on and on. And people wonders WHY the industry of medicine is SOOOO expensive? It isn’t just those with fat heads who make the world round. Oops...I meant the world GO around. Fruedian slip.

I’ve seen plenty of white bodies that should have been celebrating the thin white power structure.

Everyday I learn that something else is all about white supremacy. I’m sure that drinking water, watching the sunrise, wearing sunglasses, using a backscratcher is white racism

Try this on for size: obesity is the result of gluttony. It leads to sloth. Both are deadly sins and for good reason.

So, what isn’t racist and promotes white supremacy? Seems that list is far smaller these days.

After spouting her idiotic nonsense she immediately headed to the nearest buffet restaurant and laid waste to it.
Leave no food behind, is her motto.
