You said "There is no more serious issue than preventable death."

I pointed out that being obese is a death sentence and is avoidable.

You obviously are a hypocrite because you say one thing but practice another.

That’s what i am referring to. If the BLM shit was for real they would be bringing attention to those health issues of the black “community”. It is a wasted opportunity. They could really save lives.


I enjoy my life, how i live it is my business, but thanks for your, i’m sure, heartfelt concern.

I think, to put things a bit more tactfully that what has thus far been put across, I’ll throw in my two cents on this whole thing.
I agree with you 100% that the biggest problem plaguing ALL communities (and disproportionately affecting dense populations of lower income minorities for both cultural and genetic reasons) is preventable death spawning from our current culture of overconsumption and reduced physical demand. It also has a knock on effect of screwing up fertility rates and offspring quality. At this rate, we’ll be the first species to ever eat itself into extinction.
I think what DLD is pointing out the simple adage of “be the change you want to see in the world”. You have a resource here that (assuming you take the time to learn and are willing to apply the information) provides you with unending opportunities to learn and make those changes. If you can’t do that, you’re not much better than the wideass health official or doctor pontificating about said issues in those communities.
I was once a morbidly obese person in terrible health as well, but I applied what I learned and undid nearly three decades worth of metabolic damage. As I always tell people though, it’s simple, not easy. The formula is simple; applying it is the hard part. Even the statistics bear this out, because the spread of accurate nutrition and metabolic information has done precisely fuck all to stem the tide of adipose tissue lapping onto the shores of our species.
As such, you’re deflecting the current topic with a problem that doesn’t have an applicable solution, short of forcefully restricting peoples food choices and intakes, and I feel like DLD is merely pointing out that your lack of improvement exemplifies this point. You clearly don’t have a solution. No one does. So why bring it up in the face of another problem that is currently being broached, if not just to deflect?

What did i bring up? Me being fat? I never brought that into this discussion.

It was used by someone else to deflect from addressing my point on BLM.

He had to go back and dig up my introductory post that I posted upon joining this board and he copied and pasted it into this thread. It clearly has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I guess it made him feel better about himself being in better shape than I am. Whatever.

You brought up how preventable death is a bigger problem, and implied that it should be BLM’s focus, instead of their current tract.

Parent’s night and open house at our school cracks me up. I have so many parents annoyed with me because my kids are going back home and telling their parents what to and not to cook/eat.

We’re always breaking out the acceptable body weight charts and BP monitors. It’s said how many obese kids I have and how many already have HBP.

And I definitely mention to my black and Hispanic kids to pay special attention (particularly when we do a show of hands on family history of CV disease, HBP & Diabetes 2).

I am going to make a statement though relevant to this thread. In the past few years (particularly this past school year), we had never seen such severe and blatant racial issues in our school.

BTW, the May 31’st hanging has video evidence that it was a suicide (thank god).

Yes, i believe that they should be directing their energy towards this topic, if black lives really did matter to them. I agree with you. My BMI, whatever it may be, has nothing to do with the issue.
