I’m a black male POS, originally from Atlanta. When I was growing up I was already very heavy even though I play sports and ate pretty typically for a growing boy.

I worked at a small supermarket near my house, and my friend Kel used to visit me most days; he was tall and skinny but never really understood the privilege that afforded him because it was easier for people to ignore back then. A lot of days when we were at the store Kel would go through 3 or 4 two(2)-liter bottles of orange soda (his favorite), easily 2,500 calories, and also ate typically. I remember people would always compliment on how healthy he looked and called his normal eating “being a growing boy.” whereas I “should probably start being concerned about my weight.”

If calories in = calories out was really true Kel would have been fat from all of the extra calories, if people can believe the evidence that you can eat over their arbitrary calorie limit and not gain weight why can’t they believe that you eat healthily and be under it and still gain weight because that is what your body is programmed to do. The human body is a complex thing, people are so ignorant of scientific fact.

Thin privilege is having people praise your genetic make-up as discipline instead of criticizing it as sloth.

I’m so pissed I didn’t see this before it was posted. I fucking loved this show. Thanks for submitting this troll. Kenan and Kel was a really great show. - FBP
