Sweet! Congratulations Detroit on the improvement. That magazine cracks me up sometimes with things like handing out an F+ in certain categories.
Glad to see the benefits of poverty and hunger finally kicking in!

Notice that cities with high minority populations are among the fattest while the lily white places like Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City are the two skinniest I'm not sure much effort has been made in the minority communities to educate as to diet. The same is true of rednecks as Alabama, Mississippi etc lead the state list for obesity.
I'm 5'10 177 and like to eat but also workout each day. When the scales hit 180 I pretty much starve myself for a few days.
Yes, Ocean2026 [[from one "troll" to another), I've noticed. Maybe it's because a white person's idea of staying healthy is eating a salad, and a black person's idea of staying healthy is not getting shot at the bus stop.
If you aren't a troll, that implies that you actually believe what you post. I think I'd rather be a troll.Quote:

My post was factual. Whites and Blacks should do more in the sense of nutritional education. Blacks not being able to worry about health because they are in fear of their lives, doesn't say much for their community does it?
