I have multiple sclerosis, which at one support group meeting where a film was shown, the physician-narrator blamed it on a "Caucasian gene". I'm not kidding! <br /><br />The problem of food deserts, wherein liquor stores and convenience stores, is one that we must address, predominantly in urban areas, but what about those of us who live in rural areas? What role does obesity play there? How are our behaviors any different than those who live in urban areas? Short answer: Food deserts are a concern here as well, but that cannot be the entirety of it all.<br /><br />I am concerned with the ongoing hymn that "If Black Women Work on Their Problems, Then the World Might Be a Better Place for Black Families." Our bodies are still highly exoticized (e.g., prostitution, crack mammas, etc who will do anything for a hit or help from some external source; think "Halle Berry in 'Jungle Fever' or 'B.A.P.S., or 'Monster'". <br /><br />Anyway, wonderful post.
