Quote Of The Day

"Black health in America is in a crisis. Every new medical report seems to show an increased health risk to African Americans whether its heart disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, blood pressure or obesity. While Obama has been criticized for working out on Sundays instead of going to church, I think his fitness ethic could act as a positive message to African Americans about the need for exercise and good health. He works out almost every day. He does cardio on the treadmill and elliptical machine. He does weight lifting and weight machines. He jogs, plays golf and of course, loves playing hoops. He snacks on trail mix and protein bars. Although it isn't necessary to be as stringent as he is (protein bars are gross), the country as a whole could use the example." — Angela Winters, black moderate blogger, on Obama being a leader in promoting black health
