I don’t agree with Randall’s projections or her personal issues nor do I really care about them. I do care however when people go out of their way to try to avoid obvious truths and pretend that their bodies, evidently alone among all humanity, somehow don’t obey the laws of physics and biology.

Black (American) women are much fatter than any other group. That’s a quantifiable fact, not generalization. Obesity is something that afflicts all American groups but black women are in the lead. This needs to change. Whatever people can do to change that I support.
