When you have heart failure, as people are saying here, you are going to retain more weight. Medicines can make this even harder.
If you think a man's just out there downing McDoubles leading up to his surgery, then you have no concept of pre-prep for those surgeries actually go.
Now if you're saying it specifically to the second part, then I can grant you -- the whole world has an obesity problem, not just the U.S., and that's a fun rabbit hole to go down.
I like that you brought references into the debate, however those merely report statistics. We don't know the underlying cause, whether that be genetic, cultural, lower risk of dying from other causes which makes heart disease proportionally more likely, etc.

Yeah and it’s definitely not a specifically African American problem
Blacks are more likely to develop heart disease and obesity:
