  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AS THERE IS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION IN IT. PEOPLE OF COLOR OFTEN NEGLECT THEIUR HEALTH AND THIS BOOK MAY GIVE ONE THE "JUMPSTART" THEY NEED TO BECOME MORE HEALTH-ORIENTED. FROM HEAD TO TOE THE AUTHOR GIVES HIS READER INFORMATION WHICH PROMOTES HEALTHY EATING. THERE WAS SOME INFORMATION I WAS ALREADY AWARE OF BUT THERE WERE SOME THINGS I HAD NO CLUE ABOUT. THIS BOOK WILL GIVE YOU INSIGHT AS TO HOW TO ADOPT A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE. THE WRITER PRESENTS THE INFORMATION IN AN EASY TO FOLLOW FORMAT. THERE WERE ALOT OF FOOTNOTES BUT THESE SERVE TO KEEP THE READER INFORMED WHEN CERTAIN INFORMATION NEEDED TO BE VALIDATED... AS OF LATE, OUR NATION HAS BEEN LOOKING AT THE "EPIDEMIC" OF OBESITY AND ITS DIRECT CORRELATION TO OUR EATING HA BITS. A READER MAY NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BUT THIS BOOK IS DEFINITELY WORTH LOOKING INTO IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO CHALLENGE OUR THINKING WHEN IT COMES TO EATING WHAT WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE IS "OKAY" FOR US.

  Just as the first volume of this book, this second volume has a wealth of information. It touches on some basic common sense stuff as well as plenty info that was new to me. Great source of information if you are seeking to live a healthier or more holistic lifestyle as it pertains to the budgets and cultural aspects of african-american. It's very interesting covering everything from mental illness, sex, diet, drugs, healthcare, environment, etc.

  This one was a challenge to read especially with all the knowledge that I learned. I was enlightened by what I read, however I was having to push myself to finish it. Not one of my favorite ones unfortunately.
