Well I hate to toot my own horn, ok maybe just a little, this recent study/report almost verbatim said what I stated. I was was using a study you linked me to SUA to dispute what I said.
However as I dug into and and reviewed the data and charts, the conclusion was obvious.
So again, here is what I wrote a week ago and similarly a few months back. You mocked me of course.

When lumped together (black men and women), the obesity numbers are bad. When one separates them out though, it's primarily black women who are driving the high obesity numbers. The numbers for black men were actually among the lowest among men.
The rates for black women however were almost off the charts and trending even worse among women. The next closest group, latina women were behind by a wide margin.


And here is what's just been recently reported.

The widening gap between men and women seems to be driven by what's happening among blacks and Hispanics, said the study's lead author, the CDC's Cynthia Ogden.

Obesity rates for white men and white women remain very close. But for blacks, the female obesity rate has soared to 57%, far above the male rate of 38%. The gender gap is widening among Hispanics, too -- 46% for women, 39% for men.


I wasn't surprised by this latest report. Again, if the link with it's data provided by sua was critically examined, one would have to arrive at this conclusion. Black men are among the lowest. The trend however for black women was not only bad but getting worse.
Now it's not just me saying it, some negro on the iterwebs, but the cdc as well.
