Is obesity encouraged among black women?Posted by gcuse03champs in Untagged |
|
I think this is a very interesting topic as I think many no longer know the difference between "thick" and fat and this is leading to many health problems among black women. According to the interview over 50% of black women are overweight which if true is scary. We have all heard the phrases "Only a dog likes a bone" and "More cushin for the pushin' " which do seem to encourage women to gain weight. Listen to a great NPR radio interview about this by clicking the link below:
