I know first hand why Hispanics can be more likely to be overweight, I have 'tasted it'. Home cooked meals every day and gigantic portions. They are cooking with lard too. (source: I have a mexican in my extended family, and his mother runs a very traditional mexican household)
Same reason a lot of people from the deep south are overweight. The food rocks.
I'm glad you have a sense of humor. Some people are so sensitive in this country they get offended by truthful things like this. Men are more overweight because of less raking, yardwork, lawn mowing etc. A society of lazy slobs.
Oh, truthful.
The only negative focus was on women, and your title is sexist.
When I lived in Chechnya, I remember this 80 ish year old woman waking up at 3-4am everyday. She then would prepare the ingredients she would need to cook with (like preparing the dough, picking fruit, etc). Her whole day from then would be busy working and fussing, anything you wanted she would make. I haven't seen her since, but I know she's still alive (puts her in the 90s now).
When I walk into a typical American home, I notice the skinnier, healthy women always have a neat house while the fatter women have a messy house. I don't think it's a coincidence. Pride in your appearance translates to pride in your house.
Most hispanic homes I go to are clean. whether she's fat or not. And there is usually something good cooking. If Papi is happy WTH.
Exactly my point... fact is a higher percentage of Hispanics in this country have labor intensive jobs, lawncare, construction, cleaning, etc. I'd say increased caloric intake is the real culprit of our expanding waistlines.

I eat between 4,000-5000 calories a day. My waistline is between a 34-36 depending on the fit. I'm 6'6 and over 260 lbs. It has to do with your hormones. Your hormones determine if you're fat, muscular, or skinny.
Correction: The educated, observant, liberal hippy called someone a sexist.
That would be you in case you were a little confused.
She's not educated or observant. She think's she's a hippy and a liberal. But then people think strange things.
