Multiple woke academics now claim the word 'obesity' is racist and should be dropped in favor of 'people with larger bodies.'
The University of Illinois Chicago's school of public health published a health brief titled: 'Addressing weight stigma and fatphobia in public health' that explored 'the association between racism, weight, and health.'
According to Amanda Montgomery RD, public health's focus on preventing obesity has brought in an increase of negative attitudes towards 'people with larger bodies' - her preferred alternative term - and is currently one of the only socially acceptable forms of discrimination.
The brief claims that public health approaches related to obesity can be harmful because of the focus on one outcome - weight loss- and because it tends to ignore the root cause of the issue.

In the vast majority of cases, the root cause of obesity is eating too much garbage. Coupled with not enough calorie burning.
An example of a healthy breakfast:
And the inverse
“ban the word ‘obesity’”
except, I imagine, when it’s applied to Donald Trump.
They have a point. When I think of fat people, I think of Stacey Abrams and Orca Winfrey.
Racist? Everything is racist to a racist!
Ban food! Well, they’re not banning yet, just making it a shortage!
So, doctors and cardiologists are not “fat phobic”?
Better yet no breakfast. You really don’t need it.
Funny, I don’t remember reading about many if any fat slaves.
Maybe they were treated better than we are taught.
So he’s saying people can be racist towards obese white people by using that term?
Interesting....
Whoops, are “now” fat phobic?
None of us, of course, saw a fat person before we saw a black one.
Even though I don’t eat too many of them these days, Mc egg McDuffie w/sausage is a slice of heaven. And the only thing I like American cheese or whatever thT is, on it
“People who love to eat”
“People who consume mass quantities”
“Competitive Eaters”
“People who obviously don’t suffer from Bulemia”
No. That is childish thinking and it doesn’t even make sense to call it ‘racist’. Be Better!
The egg mcmuffin is a lot better than you think
Meat, good fats, proteins, carbs
Eggs are the one of the best proteins you can have
Publish or Perish. Same old game.
“Mass enhanced”
“Gravitationally gifted”
“Everything is racist to a racist?
Yep. Kind of like when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
If I had college age children, I'd tell them I won't spend a dime on college and suggest they don't get student loans. I'd guide them towards trade/occupational schools for a future standard of living. There are many such vocational schools out there now.
here is an interesting thought.
Healthy Meal:
A small steak
Baked potato
a salad with tomatoes
a Dinner roll
and some sugared strawberries for desert
and some milk to drink with it
now...
cut the dinner roll in half, grind up the steak and press it into a paddy, then put the salad on top of it between the two halfs of the dinner roll. Then cut the potato into small slices, and blend up the milk and sugared strawberries up into a combined drink...
and PRESTO!!!! like magic! it becomes JUNK FOOD!!!
isn’t that neat?
I always thought it was a polite way to say FAT.
Is ghettopotamous allowed????
