Lenda and Lee Haney tried to market themselves, but part of their problem was that they eclipsed Cory Everson and Arnold S. as the epitome of health. Rather than be played up, they were played down. That happened by bodybuilding supplement and magazine sponsors whose main targets are young White males. Studies in the 90's showed that sales dropped when their was a Black face on the magazine or the protein can. <br /><br />That doesn't let us off the hood. As much as health is ignored in the Black community, their is hatred (hatin') for those who push health as a lifestyle and not just for being attractive. Exercise goes against the theory that "all it takes is nice hair and nails", or "nice clothes and a ride". Those things are fast food attractiveness, ie., they involve no commitment. Whether it's eating or exercise, to be successful we need to first understand and appreciate commitment. That mindset will help us in everything we do.Dwane T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218649785614098860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-6110629941579400682010-03-24T10:04:53.473-07:002010-03-24T10:04:53.473-07:00Great blog Jay!

Why is there a Chinese restaurant on every corner in the black neighborhoods and not a thai or sushi restaurant in more “upscale”. How come I have to travel 30 minutes to get anything fresh or organic if I want it? Why doesn’t the corner store have healthy chips too? Why is there a liquor store in my hood with bad wine selection but a “Spirits” store elsewhere?! It really does start with us, if we refuse to engage in the things that have been put in front of us, we can really make some sort of substantial change. <br /><br />I do love the message of this post, we have to take care of our bodies!!!ronihttp://blog.brooklynposh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-83530552393804234002010-03-04T09:15:59.949-08:002010-03-04T09:15:59.949-08:00I think it's location a lot of times.
