    Non-Hispanic Black adults (49.6%) had the highest age-adjusted prevalence of obesity, followed by Hispanic adults (44.8%), non-Hispanic White adults (42.2%) and non-Hispanic Asian adults (17.4%)


    If Bernie really cared about the working class he'd be going nuclear over what's happening at the border.

    The US is 39th because of housing and climate change.

    How about 1 or 1500 too many Big Macs.

    Also has a lot to do with how we count infant mortality compared to other countries. As always, liberals lie and they love being lied to.


    The first nuance is one of definition. Infant mortality is defined as the death of babies under the age of one year, but some of the differences between countries can be explained by a difference in how we count. Is a baby born weighing less than a pound and after only 21 weeks' gestation actually "born?" In some countries, the answer is no, and those births would be counted as stillbirths. In the United States, on the other hand, despite these premature babies' relatively low odds of survival, they would be considered born -- thus counting toward the country's infant mortality rates.

    There are racial and ethnic differences in infant mortality that might help explain the differences between the United States and Europe. For example, African American and American Indian/Alaska Native babies are at higher risk of SIDS than Caucasian, Hispanic or Asian American babies. As most other developed countries have a comparatively small population with African heritage (and very few people of American Indian descent) these statistics might also help explain the numbers.

    Do you blame evolution or systemic racism for this Kobe?

    Kobe would move to Europe, except he can’t afford it and he has no skills with which to market himself.

    Best to stay in Seattle and use his employers WiFi at the coffee shop to post on internet chat boards.
