African-Americans are more overweight and obese than any other racial group and at risk for developing heart disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, and certain types of cancer.
November is Diabetes Awareness Month and on Sunday, November 15th, Star Jones will host 'Heart of the City: Dying to Eat in Jackson,' a BET News exclusive on obesity in Black America.
The one-hour special focuses on Jackson, Mississippi, home to the largest population of African-Americans, as well as the country's most obese state.
