How can we explain the racial trend in child obesity?

[strateguy632]

if we could not distinguish Ethnicity, we would never notice the trend so...

in u. s., one in 4 black 1/4 but one in 6 white children.

how can we explain the trend that less of white are obese, but more of black are obese?

this is NOT nonsense, "just kuz not p. c." but the fact is trends exist.

It all comes down to diet. For the record obesity among African American men and white American men is identical at 41% what tips African Americans the scales is terms of obesity statistics is African American women at 60% vs White women at 30%, Hispanic women are at 40%.

Truth is the majority of white adults enjoy a better healthier diet and the current generation of white parents are more clued up on giving their kid's a healthier diet so you might see obesity in whites under drop to 10%.

Hispanics used to have a very healthy diet up until the mid 80s-90s when soda companies like coca cola started seeing an uptake in sales in Mexico and South America and other US food companies selling cheap processed foods and taco bread. If you drinking a litre of coke per day, eating a bucket of fried chicken, mountains tacos, huge pizzas and too much of other unhealthy foods obesity will be a problem.

I was kind of tubby growing up and I had a few middle class white friends. I started to take note of their diets. Their folks were very restrictive if what they ate and how much and home cooked meals were the norm whereas my mother was always ordering out and there was always soda pop in the fridge. I've rarely dated a black woman because it's very hard to find one who's in reasonable shape physically.

I think it mostly comes down to marketing. All the fast food places make stuff really cheap with cheap fatty ingredients and people are always in a rush, so it's easy to grab it on the go and give to their kids.

Most kids are gonna whine till they get the hamburger and bypass the carrot sticks and celery. It's what they are taught from an early age.

Poverty.

Those who are most obese are also the poorest, so they have no choice but buy the cheapest of foods, which usually are the frozen meals loaded with fat, suger and salt.

Assuming this is a chart only for the US.

It's a direct result of the racially biased welfare system.
