You get called all sorts of things if you actually are conscious of your diet and healthy as a black person within the black community; like an "uppity negro" :martin: . I bet my life the people making these comments are fat as fukk or unhealthy.

It reminds me of how I got looked at weirdly by my family who was predominately morbidly obese and from the south when I would turn down their cooking to eat healthier options at 15 years old. Sure, it's not the best choice socially to turn down your own family's food in the south:huhldup: , but I know my body and what it needs for what I wanna do :manny: .



This criticism for black people indulging into a healthier lifestyle is a mentality that keeps us from being healthy and keeps us dying from heart attacks and a host of other medical issues. Keep eatin like shyt brehs

I mean, you right :manny:


I save ridiculously, inexcusably fattening meals like that for the holidays.


I still have my cheat meals and whatnot, but it’s still within reason. You feel too lethargic later lol

This right here.

They won't know what it's like to be burning on all cylinders with that kinda high energy from better quality fuel :wow:

OP you're full of shyt. Nobody gives a fukk what ya'll eat. You get called an uppity negro cuz ya'll come into the thread fukking obnoxious. We are discussing a 7 dollar buffet and here come you uppity negroes chastising people for their eating habits not knowing how OFTEN people eat that shyt or not.

Then ya'll love to tell us what you eat as if we asked. Acting like you better than us cuz you had a fruit plate or something

People can't mention anything fast food/junk food related without one of you obnoxious mofos discussing how often you consume sugar or not. People don't like to be talked down to and everybody ain't trying to hear that shyt every fukking thread.

Would always get this critique from unhealthy self-conscious people. Sure, people may interpret suggesting a healthier lifestyle as "acting superior" When they're trying to show yo unhealthy ass a different path :ufdup:

My dad had a stroke last year and I'm taking a year off work to take care of him.

What frustrates me is that he's 66 and prior to him having a stroke he never went to the Doctor. Like ever.

I told him several times that he needed to go for a check up.

I asked his doctor if his stroke could have been prevented if he went to the Doctor, was informed about his high blood pressure and diabetes, and took the proper medication.

He said yes.

What also frustrates me is that growing up my father spend a lot of time talking about finances and how far behind black people are in that field.

Said he grew up seeing too many black people struggling so he tried to learn as much as he can to not make the same mistakes he saw so many others make.

I wish he took that same approach with health.

Too many older black folks got that "but I feel fine" mentality.

Have conversations with your older loved ones and force them to go to the Doctor.

I'm mad at myself for not forcing him to go.

You aren't trying to show a different path. Nikka you think we don't know about fruit? You are being obnoxious. If a nikka wants to drink a soda, have a fast food burger or eat from a 7 dollar buffet. Who the fukk are you to make a thread chastising them for it?

And who are you to say people ain't healthy or don't eat healthy. Enjoying one shytty breakfast or an occasional soda doesn't make people unhealthy.

And this is the amount of education we need to fix about health.... People think they know how to eat healthy because they know what a fukking fruit is :dead:
