What is with the word "Bodies"?

"This is discriminatory towards Black Bodies"
"Our Asian Lesbian Bodies are Healthy at any size".

Talk about dehumanizing. Sounds like a Pathologist distancing himself from a corpse "This White Male Body was recovered from the Hudson..."

Do whatever you want. Be a fat slob, I could care less. Why does the taxpayer have to take care of you though? Oh well, deficits don't matter and all.

Beans and cornbread.

From the article:

When the biologist Daniel Lieberman suggested in a public lecture at Harvard this past February that exercise for everyone should be mandated by law, the audience applauded, the Harvard Gazette reported. A room full of thin affluent people applauding the idea of forcing fatties, many of whom are dark, poor and exhausted, to exercise appalls me.

Patrick says

many of whom are dark, poor and exhausted,

1)dark...really? Tell me why skin color matters for weight again. Make a scientific argument. I dare you!
2) poor probably because they’re too fat to attract a quality man or hold a quality job.
3)exhausted because when you carry a lot of extra weight and never exercise, just walking back and forth from the refrigerator can be exhausting.

The only point this article makes that is in any way valid is the point that black culture values a more rounded shape to a woman’s thighs and ass.
Guess what? A lot of white guys like that too.

FOUR out of five black women are seriously overweight. One out of four middle-aged black women has diabetes. And its YOUR FAULT!

OK, less food stamps would work.

I read, in Africa, being heavy is a sign of prosperity. It makes sense to me. When most people are skin and bones because there is not enough to eat, a heavy person must be very wealthy. The fat people in America have too much money, or too many food stamps to buy food.

This is pretty much what she said in the article: if you're fat it shows everyone that you're not a slave.

Agreed. It was actually the same for the post-WW2 American/European generation. Grandma and Granpa typically insisted the kid is too skinny and needs to eat more in order to be/look healthy and prosperous ;) That notion changed after one or two generations and we were going into the right direction until processed food and positive body culture / "don't fat shame me" movements emerged and squashed the return to healthy weight.

Here is a scientific argument for a small proportion of the American population. Native American Indians: I read it many years ago.
They evolved consuming food they could like corn, meat, and what nature provided. Their bodies were not designed to eat the modern junk food full of fat and carbs, that they now eat. This has resulted in high levels of obesity, diabetes, and other problems. I'm quite sure other races have similar issues with varying degrees, from modern junk food.
It's the crap we have to eat. Excessive fat, excessive sugars, preservatives, and too much of it. That is the real problem.

FatFucks demand diabetic reparations! Victimhood uber alles, and pin the blame on the donkey!

Set my blubber FREE!

PBS Newshour - just sayin'.

It's a race AND sex associated deleterious behavior, for which society pays the price. For example, imagine if all white men were on opioids.

Oh, wait....

I’m not going to lie, I used to work with a fat black admin. She was fucking hilarious. She would call people out on their bullshit all the time and somehow never managed to get fired.

She had that sassy not give a fuck attitude that I appreciated. If she had been white she would have been let go in days. But one thing she never tried to hide was her fatness. She enjoyed it actually. During a company holiday event she took pride in the fact that she brought her own Tupperware to take all the leftovers and no one cared.

Sadly, this was over 15 years ago. She’s probably dead.

As a Georgia resident, I would never vote for Abrams. She has $170k in credit card/student loan debt, and owes the IRS another $50k. If she can't manage her personal finances, why would anyone trust her in a position of leadership?

My friend was looking at Plenty of Fish in S. Florida and noticed that between their 20's and 30's black or mixed girls seemed to get much larger in size. Almost all of the girls in late 30's on the dating site looked overweight.

I looked and saw this also, it was interesting.

The young black female I'm friends with is thin but has curves so almost looks like a Barbie Doll in human form. Some other females she had a beef with called her "skinny from AIDS" and this caused quite the ruckus. They were all fat, but in her interesting way of talking she calls fat people "big". I haven't heard her say the word "fat" to describe anyone.

"Thick" is another term which is not pejorative like "fat" may be.
