One thing surprising at that page ...

She’s not even half as ugly as I expected.

In all fairness, “fat studies” should be taught by their college of medicine, with introductory classes open to the general school population. Truthfully, it is hella complex, and should actually provide upper division credits.

The biochemistry involved is staggeringly complicated, but fascinating to the public as a whole. Intertwined with the labyrinthine immune system, two different biomes (upper aerobic and lower anaerobic), genetics, and dietary studies.

If properly done, it would actually mean something instead of just being DEI bulldada.

One has to be really, really a hard up racist to attend those classes being taught by Sistah Pork Chop. The OD frozen turkey wrap makes me think she might be a Stolen Honor poser.

I hope they include fatheads in their studies.

Someone, somewhere, HAS to have the extra time and tuition $$ to attend this just to mock it. C’mon!
Imagine the fun sitting in the back of the class and asking for examples — among the classmates.

This is why the hue and cry about the “uneducated” voting for Trump is absurd. There are valid reasons for higher education, but they have to do with one’s focus on becoming a doctor, lawyer, etc. Even those professions won’t guarantee that you’ll vote for the best person to be POTUS. Then there are all the less serious and, worse, patently ridiculous degrees, none of which makes anyone more likely to be a wiser voter than a convenience store clerk or a truck driver.

What an absolute scam. The only people “smart” enough to create such stupidity are the college professors. DOCTOR? By sitting through 8 years of these stupid “studies” classes? And lets face it. Colleges push unqualified black students who would have been fine at a state college in to these useless “hate whitey” courses. Two days without power and that doctor would be eating the drywall in her apartment.

They’re already starting off on the wrong foot by using the word “fat,” when so many anodyne, self-reassuring, happy, unicorn-ish phrases are available.

Betting the course won’t cover the most pernicious kind of fat: that between the ears.
