Black Obesity due to stress?

[Peasie]

On Blacks and Fat: Darryl Roberts
This filmmaker says that BMI is meaningless and stress is making African Americans obese.

TR: When it comes to African Americans and obesity, what is the biggest myth or misunderstanding?

DR: The biggest myth would be that African Americans have these horrid eating habits, they live off McDonald's and KFC and Popeyes, that they don’t exercise ... <span style="font-weight: bold">People say this kind of thing in a way that's totally devoid of the concept of the stress going on in black people's lives. The other thing that's hurting us in the black community is we're not given the proper knowledge -- we're beat down with the message that you can't be overweight and healthy -- when in actuality, studies show that you can.</span>

Some people consider anything over a size 8 as fat. Also Mrs Obama has been criticized for the size of her backside. They consider her a hypocrite because in their eyes she is obese.
