Why are so many black women overweight?

Answer 1

Asking "Why are so many black women overweight?" is just as rude and racist as asking" Why are so many white women anorexia and bulimic"

Some people in America, regardless of race, don't live healthy life styles. And what most white people would call fat is really what people of other races would consider normal and slim. That's why when white women are normal and healthy they feel like they still aren't good enough and then starve or binge and purge to lose even more weight.

Answer 2

Poor thing. You must get out of your city or state you live it because you are closed minded. Just to educate you a little, there are women and men regardless of color are overweight. It may due to them eating more portions and not exercising or it could be medications they are taking (some medication can make some people gain weight). My dear, I am not sure of your age but your question sounds like something a child would ask. Please don't ask questions about a specific group of people because that is generalizing and ignorant.

Answer 3

No it's just America in general that is overweight, being that Black people are at the bottom in society things tend to hit us harder. I'm not overweight, I think people that are overweight just have poor eating habits. I don't think this is a Black issue, it's a American epidemic.

Answer 4

Why are you always asking racist questions you seem to have a real problem here maybe a trip to a shrink would be an idea ????? and get over it black or white all have overweight people some have a genetic problem but the majority eat to much and sit on their B U M'S to long.co lour has nothing to do with it for all we know you could look like a beached whale????

Answer 5

Combination of genetics and bad eating habits as your question is a generalization...Our bodies are stronger than some other races thus the large number of blk pple in sports...but its mostly in america that blk pple and the population in general is fat due to all this fast food and no one cooking...

Answer 6

Why are so many white women overweight? Why are so many black men overweight? Why are so many PEOPLE overweight.

Genetics and laziness. I even knew a man who was overweight because of a brain tumor. It was in a place that affected his metabolism. He was about 400 lbs and when he had the tumor removed he lost about 200 lbs in two weeks. It was amazing to see.

Answer 7

Women in general are overweight. It's nice that you have your "black people" blinders on, though.

Answer 8

I know more overweight white women then I do black women. That is a very racist comment. Obesity doesn't know race it knows food. Any one who eats junk or doesn't watch what they eat is going to become overweight unless they have an extremely high metabolism.

Answer 9

Where do you live? there are black and white fat women, america is just getting a little chunky. At the same ratio, i see lots of fat white women too, at a worst level. most black women are slim.

Answer 10

Same reason blonde's (like you) are so dumb and fake in every way , And you just proved this stereotype right.And for you info I'm not overweight I'm under weight my metabolism runs fast
