Academics at the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health quietly published a policy brief in November 2021 advocating for dumping the word "obesity" in favor of the term "people in larger bodies."

The report titled "Addressing weight stigma and fatphobia in public health" also argues an "association between racism, weight, and health," the Daily Mail reported on Friday.

The academics, led by University RD and LDN Amanda Montgomery, wrote that tackling obesity without addressing the root cause – which they attribute to racism – is unjust.

And the insanity continues.

I don't know...

I hypothesize that if you were to take a random sampling of all humans across the world, plucking about a million people out at total random...

White people would be fatter on average.

The brother has a point. There is a whole continent with a good portion of the population in famine, malnutrition and a bunch of waterborne parasites.

The only white people that skinny are thrice divorced blonde women, with eating disorders and a love for premium vodka.

Don't think he does, but whitey currently shares an issue with the 15th century Wampanoag people.

They were hanging out on the east coast, farming, fishing an franking when a boat of soon-to-be 1st generation English Massholes showed up. Then more did. And more.

They were the original people who in retrospect should have drawn a hardline on unchecked immigration. It quickly became too late for them.

Now it's whitey's turn.

If it's wrong to conquer people I don't wanna be right.

Not our fault we fought better. Or is it?


Hey Ben. Sending you a box of beads and blankets. Keep an eye out!

That is an interesting historical irony/true modern perspective about the future. Seriously. 🤔

I believe in the classic "rise and fall" of every great human society (ours included) as an inevitability. Open boarder(s) could certainly be one part of our (U.S.A's) eventual downfall in the long run.

Yowza, they went full crazy:

"Though lifestyle factors such as nutrition and exercise are important, it is essential to note the historical racism and injustices within our current food environment. As presented by Soul Fire Farm33, the U.S. food system is built on stolen land usingstolen labor from Black and Latinx indigenous people. Not only has this created a large scale food apartheid and trauma forpeople indigenous to this land, it has caused a disconnection of indigenous people from their cultural practices and identities."

Tried to order them with the small pox delete option, they said that option wasn't available... so I gave them Celtic's address.

Besides the fact... He's Irish, the only thing he's conquering is a bottle of Proper Twelve.
