Recognizing the void in the diet, food and health fitness industries for African Americans, the New Black Cultural Diet website (www.newblackculturaldiet) featuring special Podcast Shows
has been officially launched to help African Americans learn, share stories, and develop new cultural strategies related to losing weight, maintaining weight loss, exercise, body image,
food selections, food preparation and general good health practices. Based upon the overwhelming interest in his new book, Food Choice and Obesity in Black America: Creating a New
Cultural Diet, Medical Anthropologist Eric J. Bailey created this new forum so that African Americans and all who share similar issues can have a place on the internet committed to
creating a new healthier lifestyle.
This New Black Cultural Diet website featuring special Podcast Shows is designed around the basic concept of culture and its impact on those who are trying to maintain a healthy regimen
or trying to lose weight. We realize that the New Black Cultural Diet website and Podcast Shows touches on a number of sensitive issues within the African American community. Indeed, we
do understand the breadth of this sensitive cultural topic and that is why we have designed this website and Podcast Shows in a respectful and professional manner. Come and visit the New
Black Cultural Diet website (www.newblackculturaldiet.com) and join in the Podcast Shows, video clips, web polls, surveys, cooking and
physical fitness tips so that all of us can be participants in changing how we view health, dieting, exercise, overweight, and most importantly creating a new healthier lifestyle.
