Big Butts a Sign of Good Health!

Daniell don't hate. We big bottom women always
get put down. As soon as we get something said
that's positive. Here comes the haters.

Helen, I am not being hateful. I am stating a fact. We have a LOT of health problems in the US and many of them come from having poor diets and being overweight. Heart disease and stroke are at the top of the list of killers. Some people are big by nature, but being fat is different. I watched family members die of horrendous diseases like cancer and diabetes, and I'm determined not to go there. I will do everything possible to prevent these diseases, along with preventing heart disease as well. I think we need to get away from the "victim" mentality and start being proactive. If you want good health, great! If not, don't call people haters because they tell the truth.

The USA on AVERAGE has the highest obesity rate, but Argentina leads the USA in obesity in men. 34% of US women are considered obese. Only 28% of men in Argentina are obese. England leads in the overweight category, according to latest statistics going back five or six years ago. Either way, in industrialized countries, obesity is a problem worldwide. But especially in the USA. We are not overweight. We are obese.

i think you may be missing the point of the study. I doesn't mean gain weight and get fat so that you won't be at risk of diabetes, rather simply theorizing that women that tend who have more of a pear shape or those that tend to store fat in their lower half of their body...i.e. a small waist but wider hips, are less likely to have diabetes. While those with wider midsections...i.e. wide waist with small hips and thighs, are more likely to get type 2 diabetes. There are plenty of healthy and happy women with larger hips and thighs and buttocks in portion to their upper half such as Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lopez, Selma Hayek and Beyonce and Victoria Secret models it's the body type they are talking about not fat. These celebrities have a proper BMI but they have hips or buttocks. It means you don't have to be stick thin like a model to be healthy and fit because not everyone is built that way, some people are healthy and have great eating habits but will are more prone to have this body type.

Ms. D. Please educate your self. There are people who are the right size, right weight as well as people who are under weight that are diabetic.

Ok, this study means that of people with a normal or slightly elevated fat percentage, when it is stored in the hips in waist it is better than in the abdomen. It does not mean that if you are three hundred pounds and your butt is slightly bigger than your waist you still aren't in desperate need of a treadmill.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS!!!! I LOVE WOMEN WITH BIG BUTTS -

JB, The article is not talking about being wide. Your risk of diabetes is greater if you have more abdominal FAT than you should. The FAT is what is bad. Yes, you can be bigger boned or wider or whatever, but if you have a lot of FAT rather than lean muscle then you are setting yourself up for all kinds of diseases: diabetes if it's in the abdomen, and heart disease anywhere else.

yes we are bob, yes we are. the right curves in the right places...

Um A butt you can place beer cans on? Hmm lets see thats hot to think about but much better to see. Wheres ya proof? And yes MOSt men like women with a larger rump that you can put a beer can on not the kind where each cheek has a different area code.
