Period action adventure set in the late 19th century, directed by Hugh Hudson ('Chariots of Fire'). Christopher Lambert stars as Tarzan of Greystoke, who as an infant was orphaned on the west coast of Africa following a shipwreck, and was rescued and brought up by a family of highly-evolved apes. Twenty years later, a Belgian hunter, Captaine Phillippe D'Arnot (Ian Holm), encounters the man who has now become Tarzan, Lord of the Apes when the ape-man rescues him from a terrible death. When the Captaine finds evidence to prove that Tarzan is the direct descendant of the Earl of Greystoke, he takes it upon himself to return the man to civilization. But Edwardian England is very different to the wilds of the African jungle, and Tarzan finds himself torn between two irreconcilable worlds...

"Soul Food" is a term coined by African Americans to capture the uniqueness of the cooking style utilized for themselves, families and friends, all prepared with love, care and lots of soul. Many of these foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, but are also rich or high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium (salt). "Cutting back on salt, as well as providing recipes that are lower in sodium, fat, and cholesterol," will help to promote "heart-healthy living."
Cultural diversity impacts what and how we eat. Cooking and Feasting with foods that are high in fat, sodium, and carbohydrates (sugars), are at the center of the traditional practices of African Americans. This ethnic group has "paid a high price for this lifestyle, with high incidences of Diabetes." Understanding cultural differences can aid in providing nutritional counseling that is culturally sensitive.Remember! Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of disease-related death for African Americans.
