All Black Women Are Fat....

So, all black women will be fat by 2034, according to a recent study published by Yahoo. But for real? For real, for real? Here's a piece of the article:

Weight problems will be most acute among African-Americans and Mexican- Americans, the study projects. All black women could be overweight by 2034, according to the researchers, as could more than 90 percent of Mexican-American men.

At first, I wasn't buying this whole black women are fat thing. America is fat. The country has the fattest people in the world. Have you been to France or Spain lately? Anyway, it didn't occur to me that this could be true when I went to a barbecue at an old high school friend's house. There was all kind of soul food fixins you could imagine--the mac n cheese, the ribs, the wings, the pasta salad galore, the biscuits, the ham, and maybe one small pan of collard greens drenched in pork and oils. It didn't take until the next day when I realized that there wasn't one bowl of fresh greens (like a salad?) or bowl of fruit. No kiddie meals either, like turkey hot dogs or baby burgers. Just humungous portions. I had of course the usual. But I made sure I ate an apple before and after the barbecue. I'm only 140, at 5'8. I run a mile, and drop 10 pounds. But most people aren't like this. Everyone at the barbecue was obese, even my friend, who is at the same age as me.

I came up with some covenient easy ways to have a healthier diet:

--Eat less
--Eat apples
--Drink water
--Excercise

I think if anyone does this they will be on their way, not to skinniness, but health. I also question the age group they project to be fat because in my age group most of the black women are slim, slender and trying to keep it that way. Oh well...
