How can thinness be white supremacist? Other cultures are really thin by nature. Thinner is more likely to be healthier than fatter. (I used to be stick thin until college. I just accept I'm overweight these days). If I could be thinner and healthier, I'd choose it; nothing to do at all with white supremacy.

Growing up I remember my uncle telling me that "affluent people stress being thin because they can eat well prepared, healthy food, that are good to look at, like art". Supposed non-affluent people are stressed, because of not being rich, and therefore eat to curb their anxiety. Plausible, but I've always thought muscle mass is better than stick thin.

Uppity fancy restaurants that serve Bon Appetit, Saveur, and fancy cooking magazines serve beautiful, visual food, but not much. It's a fun experience, but I don't want to throw away money like a nigger. I'd rather eat at non-chain local restaurants than these places that nickel and dime you. $10 for a dollop of mashed potatoes a la carte, that's wasteful.

I enjoy my seafood diet. I see, I eat.
