That depends on the tone and the context of the message. The article did seem to want to distinguish between the "good obese people" and the "bad obese people." But, that's based on my perception which may be different than the intent of the article.

Maybe and maybe not. Such uncertainty and subpar information and resources are why there is research and outreach on obesity and the Black community.
