Being overweight (ala Tyra Banks)

Recently tyra banks the supermodel has been in the news because of some photos that were taken of herthat weren't very flattering.
In the photos she is wearing a one piece bathing suit and she looks overweight, and very heavy. We at this website want to say that no matter what, tyra banks is a queen and you are deserving of all praises due. We know that there will always be those of little value who feel that their sole purpose in life is to destroy people who are making a difference., We know that tyra will just do what cee cee peniston said in her hit song "keep on walking", Remember what James Brown said they are "talking loud and saying nothing".

That being said

This situation with tyra banks begs the discussion of a more serious issue.
It's clear that tyra did gain weight, maybe 10 or 20 pounds as she has said in several interviews. tyra has also gone on the record saying that that is ok and that it is normal, and that that is the way normal people look.
To that we say "are you out of your damn mind". Please don't try to tell us that that being 30 pounds overweight is normal or acceptable. Thats one thing we have all learned to do very well "accepting the unacceptable". While it may be true that a large percentage of the public is overweight , so what, "it ain't alright". I'm glad that this situation gives us the opportunity to rant and rave about something that we feel very strongly about.

Your Health.

Medicare is going broke and medicaid is bankrupting many states.
Health care costs are though the roof. WHY, Because there is a direct correlation between being overweight and diseases and debilitating conditions, "THATS WHY".
If tyra is correct in saying that it is normal for women to go up and down in weight and to be overweight, then what are the ramifications of that. By just being a few pounds overweight you have more of a chance to become affected by so many conditions and diseases.
Lupus, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, menstrual problems, and all kinds of conditions.
This is particularly important for black women (tyra banks).
If you are overweight by 30 percent you are at risk for heart attack and all kinds of illnesses
including cancer.
Of course the mortality rate for black women dying from the complications of being overweight far outpace that of other groups. So ms tyra banks listen, this thing about your weight is more serious than you know, don't just flippantly disregard it, for your sake and the sake of those who look up to you and emulate you.

Our food is polluted.

Tyra Banks said that "i admit i don't always eat right", "you know how i love food and love to eat". Right on on girl we can dig it.
That would be fine if the food that you love was not full of chemicals, hormones and genetically modified cloned garbage. We say the reason why people are so overweight today is that the food contains hormones and who knows what else. Those hormones may also be causing psychological, emotional and mental problems in alot of people as well as many of the disabling conditions that we read about in the news everyday. Take a look at some of the old soul train videos from the 70's and you will see what people looked like before the age of fast food. i'm talking about 1970 or 1972, those were not professional dancers just a bunch of local kids, they were all slim. not skinny but slim. look at the old blaxploitation films made in the early 70's and you will see a lot less heavy people and in those days we were eating things that were not good at all, like ham hocks and big hunks of ham and sweet potato pie with marshmallows, mac and cheese with real cheese and evaporated milk and some of us were still eating chitlins (chitterlings), I'm talking real old school here. All of that is before food was overly proceeded in a little pretty mc'box. if you wanted meat, you went to the butcher shop with the saw dust on the floor.
Even our veggies now are genetically modified and the fruit as well.
They have taken the lords bounty and they are destroying it. We eat for the Profit of others and we are regarded only as consumers, forget about proper nourishment. whoever they are?
So Mrs yra banks please don't down play of the fact that you eat junk food. IT KILLS PEOPLE.

Women and their hair.

Isn't it strange how you see so many large women walking around with beautiful hair?
Tyra Banks and her straight hair are another topic (Tee Hee).
If only women cared about their bodies as much as they do their hair. Women will take whatever little money they have and will go to the hair dresser and spend vast amounts of time and money to get their hair done.
But go to the gym and sweat, NO WAY. if they sweat, it will ruin the hair do.
i got news for you, inactivity is the next step to winding up in a nursing home with tubes sticking out of you.
Even if you eat healthy you still have to be active to stimulate your god given hormones that keep you healthy.
So ms banks, when women sit on the couch and eat junk food like you ms banks, they are putting themselves at risk for all kinds of debilitating conditions. It sure would be nice if you spoke in terms of that as opposed to "oh this is normal we're all like this". Black women in particular are crazy about their hair, you know those braids can take 8 hours or more to put in.
If only we all paid as much attention to our health. what good is it to have your hair looking good while the inside of your body is full of mucus and pus with scabs growing on your vital organs.

Ms. Tyra Banks, you are a beauty and a cutie and all of that but stop accepting and succumbing to lifestyle choices which are not good for you.
Maybe not you but some people use food in order to sublimate for whatever mental and emotional issues are going on in their lives.
Some people sublimate with drugs, some with sex and some with money. We have to be careful about condoning sublimation because usually it leads to something that is not good.

I know y'all think I'm crazy and i don't know what I'm talking about.
I know exactly what I'm talking about, i have been disabled for 16 years due to an illness called SARCOIDOSIS, and i believe that my diet at the time may have played a major role in my being disabled.
If i only knew then what i know now.

All who have ears listen!
