As noted by Ms. Sarkonak, the sources of evidence used in this document are the federally-funded <em>CBC <\/em>articles and a couple of blog posts (<a href=\"https:\/\/shorturl.at\/txKT5\">https:\/\/shorturl.at\/txKT5<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Bambi came across the latest &#8220;<em>SAAD Truth<\/em>&#8221; <em>YouTube<\/em> video of the funny yet clever Dr. Gad Saad from Concordia University (Montreal, Canada). The title of his brief video is &#8220;<em>Losing weight as a form of white supremacy and colonialism?<\/em>&#8220;. Please take a moment to listen and to smile, laugh, and\/or cry over the scientific quality of some of the academic publications of our collectively insane times. Thank you Dr. Saad for sharing the article&#8217;s abstract. With all due respect to everyone, including the author in question, sometimes one can only smile to such level of absurd nonsense still called science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Losing Weight as a Form of White Supremacy and Colonialism?
