Honoring Dick Gregory for Black History Month

Today is the first day of Black History Month and Roc-A-Natural would like to salute Richard Claxton Gregory aka Dick Gregory, a comedian, civil rights activist, author, recording artist, actor, philosopher and anti-drug crusader for his lofty contributions to transforming a whole community into a more natural state of mind.

Since the late 1980s, Gregory has been a figure in the health food industry promoting a raw fruit and vegetable diet. He developed a diet drink called "Bahamian Diet Nutritional Drink" and went on TV shows as an advocate to improve the life expectancy of African Americans through educating the community about poor nutrition to help the morbidly obese and eradicating drug and alcohol abuse.

In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed his weight loss products. In 1985 Gregory introduced the "Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet", a powdered diet mix with the slogan "It's cool to be healthy". The diet mix, drunk three times a day, was said to provide rapid weight loss. Gregory received a multimillion-dollar distribution contract to retail the diet. In 2014 Dick Gregory updated his original 4X formula which was the basis for the Bahamian Diet and created his new and improved "Caribbean Diet for Optimal Health".

Thank you Dick Gregory for Roc'n the Natural and sharing it with the world for several decades!!
