Black Folks Don’t Have Eating Disorders? One Web Series Challenges This Myth

Black Folk Don't Get Eating Disorders

  1. I’d say that there are too many in the Black community who have an eating disorder of the Big Mac Attack kind. It’s also impacted by SES, lack of healthcare and physical activity, and lack of good health education. However, there are plenty of Black folks with the means, but not the will.

  2. This is a start in the right direction. I see more obese blacks walking the track in groups and taking their health seriously. The advantage that we have today is that we are creating a discussion. Even if you disagree with the topic at least it is there for consideration.

  3. I am not sure it is a eating disorder with everyone near where I live in Philadelphia PA, if you don’t have a car you can’t get to the fresh fruits and vegetable at the supermarket.

    Yet we have on every corner Crown greasy hi caloric chicken, Popeye’s, The Rice Hut and all the the asians foods that is cheap quick and unhealthy.

    What I see is young single mothers trying to feed their chicken with no education on nutrition.the gentlemen is right it is killing us.
