Racism causes obesity
Damn that evil white man.

Quote:“When you are exposed to negative stereotypes, you may gravitate more toward unhealthy foods as opposed to healthy foods,” explains Rivera, whose study appears in this summer’s edition of the Journal of Social Issues. “You may have a less positive attitude toward watching your carbs or cutting back on fast food, and toward working out and exercising.”
Rivera says the resulting difference in motivation may help explain – at least in part – higher rates of obesity in the United States among minority groups than among whites.

RE: Racism causes obesity
Love the "at least in part" qualifier. I'm sure playing video games all day contributes to obesity "at least in part." There may even be a correlation that the sunspot cycle and obesity "as least in part."
