I was never a fan of the BMI or Body Mass Index. The BMI is a way to measure the amount if fat a person has on their body. I don’t like it because the results can say a bodybuilder or an athlete is obese, despite being in top physical condition. As for me, I’m always at the top of the BMI charts, but not in a good way. But; the BMI can help medical staff to warn patients of Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure and other mostly preventable ailments. But now the society says the BMI has got to go because say it with me; its racist! The BMI does not take into account people of color as they have different body composition and the model was based on old white men. And black people get less treatment for obesity than white people! And some genius is proposing different standards for blacks and whites.
And we also are told diets are “racist.” Eating fruits and vegetables over Popeye’s is a choice, not based in racism! But; in just weight alone, black women average 186 lbs while white women weigh 170 lbs. To put it into perspective, white men weigh an average of 202lbs.
This is the Lizzo affect. Lizzo sings, dances, plays the flute and frolics around with her big fat ass! So does Beyonce Knowles. And Ms. Knowles is older and a mother. Yet she makes sure she doesn’t look like a fat slob. In the future Lizzo will be suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, as well as knee and joint issues!
