when they enter the workforce, they’ll be the ones eating sausage egg n cheese biscuits w/hashbrowns and a big a555 cup of soda every morning then snack on cheetos throughout the day;i’ve seen it everywhere i’ve worked.

I suppose it was well intentioned, but they should have known this wasn’t gonna go over well. You aren’t gonna tell a bunch of people who worked hard to get their degrees essentially, “Hey, it’s been brought to our attention that you’re fat so you can’t graduate until you take a fitness class.”

A better approach would have been to make it a requirement for everyone, even if you’ve got a six pack stomach, to take a fitness class during some semester of their college career, just like you are/were required to take PE in public school back in the day.

They shoulda required the class for eveyone, instead of targeting obese students. And in the work place they go by work performace not by how much somebody is eatin.

i see so many black women that dont like the gym or make excuses for their wait that its going to have to be with in them to help themselves, even though black women are number one in high blood pressure ,strokes, heart attacks,and other weight related problems.
as you can see when black people own up to our problems and try to fix it ourselves its always another black person trying to stop something positive.
we cant even help ourselves with out a issue arrising, they wouldnt have to do it unless they seen the statistics and see first hand all the obese students.

many black people dont understand, who the hell going to hire you to work in their office looking all sloppy and obese,when you go into those office building you see some of the finest women around, its no way a obese black women can compete with that.

I’m so glad they axed that crap it was discrimination against larger students had they made it a requirement for all students then there wouldn’t have been any problem at all, but telling someone who has worked their a$$ off for four years to earn their paper that they can’t because they’re overweight is is pure idiocracy. The size of my body does not determine how successful I will be on my job and I love big women so I don’t know what deshawn is talking about because skinny doesn’t mean healthy.

for some strange reason i seem to come across these kind of stories after coming from the spa and working out.(poor fatt fuchs)
