Comment: I am not surprised by this report - people must change the type of foods that they eat - mothers must start teaching their young daughters how to prepare healthier foods. I also believe that the "soul food" that black people were reduced to eat over the last 400 years was not the best foods to eat, but it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Comment: Gurlfrand>I was on the train the other day and I saw a mother with her son, who looked no more than 4 or 5 years old. He had some type of cookies in his hand, nutter butter, or something like that. It was junk food at 7:30 in the morning. I'm saying to myself that this kid should have had some oatmeal, farina or a fruit instead of some super sweet cookies. Of course, she probably had some type of junk food for herself as well. To buy healthy foods can be costly and unfortunately, junk food is way cheaper. It's fast, filling and easier on the pocket particularly if you are of lower income. I love to go whole foods but hell, those prices are steep! But I do see some of us shopping in there. I think we need to have more food co-ops in our neighborhoods which I think could be helpful in increasing awareness for better nuritition and healthy eating.

Comment: NYCsoul - I see "young mothers" in the morning giving their kids stuff like that and "pop tarts" - stuff that is filled with sugar and preservatives - our socieity is based on people getting up in the morning and rushing the kids to school or daycare without any real nourshment. I eat a bowl of oatmeal Mon - Fri - every morning - I had to re-train my eating habits - I stopped years ago from eating that crap at McDonalds, etc in the morning - it is not healthy and made me sick.
