From their genes to the speed of their metabolism, people come up with an enormous range of excuses for their failure to shed their extra pounds. Now, new research suggests ethnicity could be a valid explanation for dieting disasters.

Researchers discovered African-American women have to eat fewer calories and take more exercise to lose the same amount of weight as their Caucasian counterparts. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine believe this is because they have slower metabolic rates. During their study, they found African-American women lost, on average, 7lbs less than Caucasian women on the same diet.

Hop off those lard carts at Walmart and maybe that pesky metabolism will pick up.
And a salad occasionally in place of a bucket of fried chicken never hurts.

I really marvel at how someone can walk around in the year of our Lord 2013, this fucking racist. Why don't you just put a sign on your head "FUCKING MORON HERE"? Do people like you really not know that you are literally announcing that you're a moron with shit like this? People laugh at you. They know you're nobody of any class, intellect, station, or importance and that you never will be. I mean, you can blame your parents, but only to a point.

How amusing. You cannot refute so you resort to the last recourse of the weakminded, swearing.

No Darla reamed your ass! Too bad you're too brain dead to even notice how expertly she accomplished that goal! But make no mistake, the rest of us marveled at her expertise!

I read the article....Interesting. It would also be interesting to compare this data with that of those of East and West African descent. I tend to think this is a mixture of genetic and environmental factors.

Ah, walked back to implied racism, thats a good start.
You will find a perfect textbook example of a racist in Abraham Lincoln. I do not believe blacks are inferior as a race which is shown by the fact that I know they have the capacity to change their health circumstances while you kids seem to feel thats just not so and therefore we must feel sorry for the poor dears. Slow metabolism is real but rare and nearly always treatable. And as for big boned... few of us have so much as seen an actually big boned person. If you are overweight, just accept it. To thine own self be true.

Swearing has little to do with the strength of one's mind and generally has more to do with the perceived ignorance of one's interlocutor. In this case, swearing is appropriate, because it it probably about all you understand.

In other words, it's only OK if Dantès or her "friend" does it.
