new Surgeon General…..

[Coronita]

[quote=temeculaguy]Obese? I actually was unaware of the appointment so I ran a yahoo image search of Dr. Regina Benjamin. She is not obese, maybe a little thick, certainly beans and rice didn’t miss her but she doesn’t qualify as obese because based on her pictures (not the government’s version of obesity, but a heterosexual man’s) because her bust size exceeds her waist size. While she doesn’t neccesarily do it for me, She fit in the formula I have spent years creating. Just like financial formulas, formulas for objectifying women are just as fun. O.K., here’s the secret, it’s taken me years to perfect it but it’s simple. There are three measurements used for women, usually in inches, bust size, waist size and hips, in that order. As long as the middle number is smaller that the other two, it’s all good, reagardless of the size of the numbers, the larger the difference, the better. I believe the modern day poet, sir mixx alot, said it best: “36-24-36, only if she’s 5’3″”[/quote]

Baby got back!…There i said it on two threads 🙂

And you have a problem with her because she’s a bit overweight and African American?[/quote]

I do have a problem with the overweight part because a fat Surgeon General is not a good example. Kids will grow up thinking it’s OK to be chubby.

I have no problem with the African-American part.

It must be all the delicious Southern fried cooking. 😉

Actually, compared to the general population, Regina Benjamin is just about average these days.

I have a doctor friend who is overweight. He knows full well that it’s not healthy. But he loves wine, cheese, cakes, bread and the good life. Me, put an apple pie in front of me and it doesn’t even beckon me.

Food gives people a high just like cigarettes, drugs, sex, shopping, etc…

That being said, leaders need to control their own desires if they want to be successful. You have to give up something for power.

If she is overweight it doesn’t look extreme. I have met lots of Doctors that look similar. They work very long but not too physical hours. I doubt I could do better if I had the job and did it as well as they did. Maybe they give so much to others and are doing the best they can do, but it means a little weight gain for some?Add to these factor the reality that some people are prone to being thicker… No biggie. Aren’t there at least three body types, ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph?

One MD we visted recently for one of my boys had similar proportions. There was a bike leaning against one wall of her office. She was bright eyed, energetic, kind and probably not taking amphetamines. I like that. I bet she was much healthier than average for her age.

unfortunately the overweight/obesity rate for African Americans is now a staggering 80%.

if you want to use weight as a litmus test you just disqualified the vast majority of African Americans right off the bat.

the problem is compared to most other races African Americans are genetically predisposed to obesity, this in addition to that Southern cooking.

why not use this opportunity to use Dr. Benjamin’s own struggle with weight as a catalyst for change in America’s Obesity Crisis?
