A University of Connecticut professor says ""A lot of the existing weight-loss programs are designed and developed for typical middle-class white women. "A lot of the traditional weight-loss messages are, 'It's all about you,' whereas a lot of African-American women are so committed to caring for their families and serving the church that they aren't used to putting themselves first."
Uh, really?
Black women want to please God more than just look good in a bikini on the beach?
Is that right?
One study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that as many as "70.6 percent of black women across various age groups qualified as overweight or obese between 1999 and 2002."
That's almost three out of four. What I want to know is what God has to say about a person getting in the obese situation in the first place? Black or white?
And are black women really more concerned about caring for their families and serving the church than white women?
What do you think?
