Why in the black community we sometimes struggle with having healthy conversations about obesity?

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

This.....has never been true.

there's always been fruits, vegetables, and low-fat low sodium options...but you know us "it don't taste the same!"

What this

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Theses always vegetables. There is always the option to not fry it or buy fast food. Access to healthy food in the Amazon, Fresh direct day is no excuse.

Breh, that shyt is expensive.

And a lot of people aren't up on technology like that. And you shouldn't have to go through all that just to get quality good

Does this mean you are fat and obese ?

It’s hard to maintain weight gains while having Crohns. Doesn’t mean I eat any healthier than an obese person though.
Skinny =\= healthy.

You do know about food deserts right..
And these services you talk about..
Are not cheap..
Especially if you are a single father/mother..
Working two jobs just for necessities..
Couple the fact that grocery stores in the hood..
Don’t always have the freshest produce..
There have been articles and studies published on this..
And they do not build Trader Joe’s/Sprouts/Whole Foods/Aldis...
Anywhere near these neighborhoods unless it’s time to gentrify..
Organic fruits/vegetables are ridiculously overpriced..
This post is filled with sanctimony instead of looking at the root of the issue..
And this is coming from a former fight nikka..
Obesity is not always about the food you eat..
It’s your mind set..
Past traumas..
Stress..
Access..
Education on nutrition..
The way this post tries to simplify it as “excuses like..
Shows a lot of you dumb-smart nikkas..
Have no real world comprehension..
And just get on here to spout garbage..
For circle jerk, echo chamber..
Pats on the back..
If the world was as simple as this garbage post..
Don’t you think people would choose being healthy over being unhealthy..
Get your juelzing rebuttal and daps on tho

Because blacc women are told that being fat is perfectly ok and the ones that disagree are the ignorant ones

nikka... It's absolutely true....... you need a car in a lot of poorer areas in the south to get to anywhere, not just a grocery store......

I hate how the new spin is “you can’t tell how healthy someone is by their weight”
Yea technically a person with a six pack could have stage 4 cancer but that shyt is a diversion from the scientific FACT that being obese raises health risks exponentially
Hate to take it there but I think the recent censorship in the black community about this is because it’s mostly affecting black women. I saw a stat that said something like 50-60% of adult black women are obese.

This threadstarter is a legitimate troll and no one sees it.

This is the same guy who got mad at a woman for trying to strike up a conversation (Which might have also been a lie) and ran to thecoli and told about it.

Now he makes this thread, while his girl looked to be overweight. It seems to be...contradicting having such a hard stance while laying down with a big girl. Go ahead and accept your truth!

I think this is a conversation you should be having with your girl (which is probably the purpose of the thread), rather than thecoli.

I know most of yall don't live around nikkas off of the dumb shyt a lot of yall say, but damn.... this right here is just too obvious

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

A lot of black communities don't have access to healthy foods. Without a car, especially in the south your options are limited.

Another poor misconception. We do have access to healthy food. Sounds like some of y'all ain't never tried to go on a diet

Do you know what people eat to lose weight? Chicken, eggs, Rice, oatmeal, pasta, and vegetables. All that shyt is cheap.

Sounds like you don't live around nikkas and are on some shyt......

I shop every weekend. Chicken, Oatmeal, lean ground beef, eggs, tuna, rice, and broccoli are cheap unless you go to a white neighborhood.

My lunches end up being $6/piece and last me the 5 days


Bout to try and make me some jerk chicken tacos now

That's great.... but I'm replying to the statement you made about food deserts for blacks being a misconception when they are definitely a reality

Ole shut up dude, my girl isn't fat and I can prove that. I already know that you and your buddies don't care about yourself so you'll look for anything to ignore the reality of obesity. Go ahead and hide behind your fake happiness and whatever but everybody knows that's just a front to escape reality. I'm not gonna continue repeating myself to people who don't care about themselves in the grand scheme of things. I said what I had to say throughout this thread and I'ma leave it at that.

Y'all keep on rollin with this "troll" shyt so you can avoid the truth being spoken, any doctor out here would laugh at all this twisting and turning happening throughout this thread.

People (like me) can see game when it's right in front of us.

Peace & blessings.

He said getting healthy food is hard for blacks and I said that's a misconception the coli likes to bring up. Otherwise how are we so obese? We getting food, but we not making the right choices

Everything I listed you can find in the hood and is healthy and cheap.
