Not about music but interesting nonetheless. I was blown away by this, 72.7% of all blacks in Washington state are overweight/obese. This is the highest percentage among ANY racial group in ANY state. Wow I'm blown away by this.

The Data

Which begs the question: Why do people sit around bitching and crying (and indeed, lying) about how the Poor "can't afford" food, and yet the poorest people in the country are the fattest?

Just something to think about whilst perusing your favorite left-leaning news sources...

I'm not speaking for myself, but I do know what the liberal explanation for that is, it is that the neighborhoods they live in are infiltrated with fast food places that offer cheap, fast food that appeals to folks with no money and faster-paced, more stressful days. Essentially they claim there to be no QFCs in the hood. And they're partially right.

LOL hilarious

I love Philly's Best & Ezell's, I started a fad at my HS (Seattle Prep) of folks jumpin in theiir cars and going down to the CD for lunch at those two spots.

About the Samoans, they are leither ost somewhere in that Asian stat or in the "Other" stat so we can't really pinpoint them exactly unfortunately.

Well you got a little bit of a point, 26% of black people in WA state are in poverty which is obviously higher than the white people (13%) but not only is it well below average (nationally it's 33%, Washington is 39th in this category meaning black people are conceivably better off in WA than they are in 38 of 50 states). Also the Latinos and "Other" group have higher poverty rate than the blacks in Washington state which is NOT typical in the US, they are almost always the highest when they are a sizable enough population to measure.

^ then don't make points without anything to back them up... that's just lazy criticism.

And also, the reason the people are fat is because bad food is cheaper for you. They're eating the nasty ass fast food and the super-processed 'cheese product'. They're drinking Generic Brand Soda instead of healthy, 2% Milk.

Not to mention, the lack of nutritional education. What might be common knowledge to one family could mean nothing to another.

$1 Double Cheeseburgers are easier/cheaper to prepare than a healthy meal. When you spend most of your time working in a Wal-mart, where there's a fucking McDonald's built into the building, you're going to go with a Double Cheeseburger.

Soooo true... unless you take it back to growing your own fruits and veggies.. which you rarely see anymore.

And its much more convenient for folks that have families on the go- single parents that work two jobs- even dual parent homes where the 9-5 no longer exists and folks are working 12 hours shifts..

The last thing I want to do after working 12 hours is come home and spend an hour cooking dinner.. but you just have to find ways around it.. we dont eat out more than once a week.. growing up? it was more like once a month.

Not saying you're wrong because I don't know, but are blacks really the poorest race in America? I would think that might go to Native Americans or Hispanics but I very well could be wrong.

Fast food is not necessarily bad food. Eating more calories than you burn will make you fat no matter what it is you are eating.

This is very interesting considering Seattle has been recently ranked in the top 25 fitest citys in a few different sources.

I KNOW that's why I was so blown away by it. Just this little 8% chunk of Seattle I guess isn't really a part of that, damn.

.. I hear what youre saying.. but the preservatives and fat content in the fried chicken at KFC or 1/4lb burger at McDonalds is much worse for you than eating from each of the food groups @ 12 meals a day... calories or not..

Nobody's got any ideas about why specifically black people in WASHINGTON are the worst off group of people in the entire US weight wise, when as I pointed out in one of my previou posts, that they are actually economically doing BETTER than the vast majority of black people nationwide???

It's amazing, 4 race categories, 50 states + DC, that's 204 different percentages, and the highest out of those 204 is black people from Washington state. Wow.
