I don't value fat women either. Nobody should.

That’s led researchers to conclude that a key driver of America’s maternal mortality problem is that America doesn’t value women.
No, I'm pretty sure that it's because American women don't value themselves. They get so close to putting two and two together. They mention 2 or 3 times that black women have triple the risk of white women and don't piece together that black women are the most obese demographic. It bothers me how desperately all these articles are to avoid saying, "Well, actually, it's because everyone is so damn fat."
