************************** exZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZerpt *******************
Dr. Ro to fans of Black Entertainment Television's health and
fitness show "Heart & Soul," learned in her 20 years as a
nutritionist that when it comes to health and their bodies,
all women are *NOT_CREATED_EQUAL*..

According to Brock, 50 percent of African-American women between the
ages of 20 and 44 are overweight. One in four black women age 55 or
older has diabetes, and they are [... Gasp! ...] more likely to
develop complications from the disease than their white counterparts.
*********************************************************************

Hey Bob, tell 'em about the 14th Amendment, how it legislates
equality. Is medicine a science or a "Social Construct." ??

The 14th amendment and equality have nothing to do with the cited
article. Nor does the article substantiate anything about women not
being equal (much less "created equal") - no rate is reported for
overweight or diabetes for any other group of women, nor is evidence
cited that the women are overweight because of genetics; indeed the
article points out cultural reasons for obesity and the doctor is
trying to change those statistics and attitudes, which would not be
possible if they were "created unequal".

> Is medicine a science or a "Social Construct." ??

In part, it is both. Depends on what is being treated, and how.

Looks like the cosmetic surgeon went a little too far north
during your last liposuction, Bob...

And one must wonder if idiocy runs in makemyday's family or if it's just
him.

Actually, when you either read or reply to racist idiots, you end up
co-signing their bullshit.

I don't agree, but you should note that I did NOT reply to a racist idiot --
I was
replying to Bob ABOUT a racist idiot.

Cool, you have the right to be wrong. But, what personal progress
do you make when you argue with useless folks like the Queen of
scaa and MMD?

Fair enough.
