Fat Bigots

Racism really is responsible for everything:
it seems as if fiction has become reality after Lurie’s Children’s Hospital of Chicago posted an article claiming a link between exposure to racism and metabolic health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Lurie Children’s also advocates the need for “crucial conversations” about racism during the early stages of a child’s life, as well as the need for a “thorough understanding of the systemic nature of racism”. Of course, the “extensive research” is seldom mentioned following the initial claim, so it’s not quite clear how those who are subject to racism from life’s bigots are more likely to be fat.
Must be a lack of positivity...
