Just when you though you have heard it all, along comes an article that makes you say WTF. Whereas I know that eating the wrong foods, even for a vegan, you will gain weight and if you are not careful you will become fat. But, that is not the reason now given for the disproportional amount of fat Blacks and Hispanics.
"A study by Rutgers University Newark claims that minorities are obese because racial micro-aggressions cause them to eat fast food and avoid exercise."
Another burden for the white race, you are now responsible for making minorities overweight!
Gone is the excuse that being on welfare does not allow for the purchase of the right foods.
Gone is the big bone theory.
Gone is the gene excuse.
Gone is slow metabolism.
It is all our fault.

So that's why there's so much violence at Micky D's?Do liberals ever think people are responsible for there own actions?

I guess not. Are you as tired of being blamed for personal actions as I am?

The study was done by a minority " Luis Rivera ".
Notice that he states that, " the obesity comes from believing the stereotypes ".
So are Caucasians standing over these minorities with a gun to their heads and forcing them to believe in stereotypical rhetoric ?

http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.htmlObesity affects some groups more than others
Read:
http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1832542Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (47.8%) followed by Hispanics (42.5%), non-Hispanic whites (32.6%), and non-Hispanic Asians (10.8%)
Obesity is higher among middle age adults, 40-59 years old (39.5%) than among younger adults, age 20-39 (30.3%) or adults over 60 or above (35.4%) adults.
Obesity and socioeconomic status
read:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db50.pdfAmong non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American men, those with higher incomes are more likely to have obesity than those with low income.
Higher income women are less likely to have obesity than low-income women.
There is no significant relationship between obesity and education among men. Among women, however, there is a trendthose with college degrees are less likely to have obesity compared with less educated women.
Yes, we know that they have a tendency to be overweight. But, now to shift their personal responsibility from eating smaller amounts and exercising to be someone else's problem is just .............. the word escapes me. Wake up, what will be next? Procreation? White people are mean so they are forced to have intercourse and have too many children? Or, white men are so mean that they have to skip brushing their teeth? Give me a break!!!

From what you say here it appears that "micro-aggression" and income are not causitive factors. Micro-aggression ...no because they are doing better than their peers and cannot therefore feel downtrodden, and income...no because higher income brings ability to eat better healthier foods.
So then, what is causitive? Could it be that regardless of their status....they feel they don't have all they want, and hold whitey accountable? If that's true I should weigh a ton.
Wolf,
I am just lost for words! This is a group of people that refuse to take personal responsibility for their own actions. I was taught, when you are satisfied, then push yourself away from the table. Not eat until you are stuffed and can not hold another bite. What was it last year, they claimed food insecurity for being overweight.

All Americans are fat. It's a fact.
Liberals think if they are skinny it's some fat persons fault because they must have eaten their fair share.

Get real, it is simple calories in must equal burn to maintain weight. They are simply fat because they over eat and sit on their duffs.

Not true, and it is not true that all blacks and Hispanics are fat. I am white, 5'9" tall and I have never weighed over 120 pounds even when pregnant. Simple and it is math, to maintain your weight you have to have equal calories in to calories burned. And the best exercise is pushing ones self away from the table.
