Yes, very good. They should be cognizant of their weight (underweight and overweight) and work toward healthy change. Being cognizant of their weight and working toward change can be conditioned by the reasons behind their weight issue.
There is an obesity problem in the Black community and it is complicated by people saying things like "I got sugar," "diabetes just runs in my family," and "I'm just big bonededed." That has sparked research and outreach programs to get people to understand the difference between medical/health meanings and cultural meanings.
Soooooo....
