I had long thought that big asses were a sign of Steak’ums and a career in hip hop videos but apparently they’re also a sign of good health. The more you know.

FAT bottoms are the bane of many women but scientists believe oversized rears are a sign a woman’s health has not gone pear-shaped.
New research, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, suggests the fat responsible for producing the pear shape flaunted by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce may be active in protecting women from diseases by releasing certain hormones.
When buttocks and hip fat from mice was injected into other mice, their bodies easily used the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin and lost weight.
Researcher Dr Ronald Kahn insisted that not all fat was bad for health.
“The surprising thing was that it wasn’t where the fat was located, it was the kind of fat that was the most important variable,” he said.
“Even more surprising, it wasn’t that abdominal fat was exerting negative effects but that subcutaneous fat was producing a good effect.
“I think it’s an important result because not only does it say that not all fat is bad, but I think it points to a special aspect of fat where we need to do more research.”
Women with big asses weren’t really in style until, what, a decade ago? So white America was basically killing all the women just to see them have pert flat backsides. You know who once again set the curve here? Black dudes. Little did you know, but all those black guys you saw in the mall yelling stuff like, “Yo ma, yo booty be kickin’” were actually out there promoting feminine health. They were like scientists. Scientists with airbrushed shirts of the Notorious BIG, but scientists nonetheless.
