According to the CDC Non-Hispanic White Adults reported the highest Obesity mostly Republican's controlled states. How they vote doesn't mean who is in control of the state. Republicans tend to invest as little as possible into their communities, and cut tax for the wealthy.

Japan- 3.6 % *

China 5.5 %

* Despite the relatively low rate, Japan views obesity as the top health risk.
As African Americans we just blame obesity and overweight on the legacy of slavery and evil white people.

It's the KKK that makes us drink Coke, candy, and ice cream. That damn systemic racism prevents us from having access to Whole Foods and Trader Joes where we could eat organic stuff.

It's far easier to protest police shootings than it is to protest black obesity, the latter of which requires looking into a mirror.

Here's the same info for Blacks:



And Hispanics:








The bottom line? Blacks, Hispanics, and the poor have the highest obesity rates. All 3 of those demographics overwhelmingly vote Dem, regardless of the state in which they live.

The Leftists here and elsewhere don't want to hear nor see the truth because it doesn't fit their lying narrative and agenda.

The CDC map shows white obesity all in republican controlled states.

Definitely true that the more liberal, the more going to the gym and working out is a big thing.

In Manhattan it's virtually 0% obese, you wouldn't be able to make it with all the walking involved and cramming into tight spaces with the millions of people coming in and out

No, it does not. Stop lying. There is no state that has a 0% white obesity rate.

The fact remains that Blacks, Hispanics, and the poor (which includes whites, though they're under-represented in that group) have the highest obesity rates. All 3 of those demographics overwhelmingly vote Dem. You can't dispute those facts.

The map shows Non-Hispanic White adults the dark red is in all GOP states like MS, AL, OK, KY, IA, WV. I'm not making this up CDC website you can look for yourself.

It’s not necessarily the amount of food it’s the composition of the food that has changed. Big difference between grass or corn fed beef and enhanced feed fed beef that would kill them if they aren’t slaughtered. The feed eats holes in their stomachs it so potent and they are shot up with hormones so they grow faster. It’s terrible what has happened to the farm/meat industry. Makes you consider being a vegetarian except a lot of grown vegetables are a problem these days too.

It is portion sizes and the type of food that is making people obese.
