If you put yourself in the right circle, you can meet many vibrant, healthy black people, esp. women. There are a lot of black people into raw foods, herbs,etc. This article even proves it. I worked in a health food store for five years that was owned by black people from the Caribbean. I find that black Americans from the South who were older tended to be more receptive to herbs,etc. Black people are just like everyone else, surrounded by the onslaught of cheap carbohydrate foods and advertising media that wages war against the waist line. I do think it's important to look back and see why certain things are done, repeated over and over, like where the eating of all this poor quality food comes from (slavery). I do believe that there is such a thing as post-slavery syndrome but not the PC-democrat welfare way. I could talk more about it but that's not the point of this blog *LOL*
