Lack Of Healthy Food Options In Washington, D.C., Neighborhoods Cause Of Obesity Disparity, Opinion Piece Says

The excusinators are at it again.

"'The lack of healthy [food] alternatives, coupled with the disproportionate variety of fried and fatty foods in the area, certainly contributes to the obesity rate' of residents in predominately black neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., Malcolm Woodland, a researcher and LRP health disparities fellow, writes in a Washington Post opinion piece (Woodland, Washington Post, 11/18)."

Bull.

It is the excess of Calories.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The conversation is a distraction.
