Or

White People Food Is Creating An Unattainable Picture Of Health

Lol

Tanisha Gordon doesnt see what white people love so much about cottage cheese. Or salads, especially when theyre topped with fussy ingredients like candied almonds, pickled carrots or Brussels slaw.

Gordon is a 37-year-old employee at an IT company in the Washington, D.C., area, and until recently, her diet was deeply saturated with fast food McDonalds, Taco Bell, you name it. When her doctor diagnosed her last year with pre-diabetes and prescribed her a CPAP machine to help her sleep through the night, she began working with a nutritionist to clean up her diet. But the lifestyle change she sought would require more than cutting out Chicken McNuggets.

As a black woman, Gordon battled the perception that most of todays healthy food is white people food.

A lot of the time, when you go to restaurants now, they have these extravagant salads with all these different ingredients in it, like little walnuts and pickled onions like the stuff Panera sells, Gordon told HuffPost. For me personally, thats like a white persons food. A lot of the mainstream stuff thats advertised comes across as being for white people.

What a dumb racist, wow

I don't see any inaccuracies in what you posted. That is the perception. And that perception isn't presented as a good thing.

who reads huffpo anymore?

Sanders would have led the class-based revolution but we all know the Democrats would have had rather let Trump win than actually deal with income inequality.

lol ok. didn't know vegetables can only be eaten by white people

It's true. This is why white people don't get diabetes.

marked

Healthy food isn't white though.
---

Not surprised TC didnt get past the first couple words.
---

Sure at the end they finally say it's about clas but lmao, so many people think it's about race as usual.
---

When you go into a persons culture and you say, You cant eat this, or You cant do that, its just like going into your house and moving your furniture. Youre going to feel violated, youre going to feel invaded.

Uhhh...No. I wouldn't feel violated if I was unhealthy and my doctor told me not to eat so much junk food. And how many doctors force you to do that anyway? I've heard people tell me that their doctors suggest that they cut down on unhealthy stuff, but never "You can't eat this/You can't do that". And you're asking for their help; why would you feel violated or invaded by the advice that you're paying for?

Huffington Post is DDIQ.

Please don't read it.

Making fun of black people how?

Throwing shade at outrage cultists, definitely.

There might be a decent point to make here is HuffPo wasn't complete race-baiting horseshit.

The problem with "white people" food that she's describing and is often recommended to improve health is that it's expensive as hell. Avocado, quinoa, almonds, kale, etc. are all way more expensive than anything you'd get at a fast food place. Health again becomes an issue of class (which subsequently becomes an issue of race) because of the lack of healthy food options for low income people.

Could have made this argument effectively without the dumb shit racism nonsense.

Loser ass brony reading Huff post trash to be fake outraged?

Just a typical day on CE

Why do you think it's racist that the concept of "white people food" exists

Do you think it's equally racist when white people say "Asian people food"

you're being entirely dishonest or you're just really sheltered if you are unaware to the fact that certain foods have ethnic/racial affiliations

the funny part to me, about this whole article, is that TC seems to be agreeing with the article (that thinking of salads as "white people food" is racist)

but he doesn't understand what the article is actually saying

This topic was made by a guy with a pony avatar. What a joke.

mocking black speech in a topic title about race is ok

associate white people with a beer though? Warn.

furthermore your racism is evident in the fact that you overly simplified the subject of the article (at least, what you perceived the article to be about) AND tried to mimic some stereotypical accent

i have no idea why im still posting in this topic

its saying people need to stop thinking of salads/healthy foods as white people food because that's a stupid thing to do and everybody can use salads

TC thinks the author is saying salads are racist because they put fancy things on top

I definitely see the money argument because nowadays I mostly eat healthy foods like flax, chia, quinoa, nuts, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, etc and I've definitely seen results (shredding through fat while also being the strongest I've ever been) but its burning a hole in my wallet almost as fast as my gut

This isn't mocking African American speech.

Why would you make this conclusion?

It would be incredibly racist to assume it is 'black' to speak like this, shame on you.

Again, it's a slight on outrage culturists.
