Best food in the world is

Chicken fried steak.
Fried catfish.
Fried chicken.
Bacon.
Not necessarily in that order.

Everything else is just food.

God was surely in favor of grains.

[smalltownslick]

Not hard to leave that out.

“Hot Pockets”...one of Jim Gavigan’s finest.

[BeadCounter]

A lot of fried in that, that’s really the problem I think.

[berdie]

Oh dear...that picture caused me to drool all over the keyboard.

At work we have a lunch outing planned for next month to Babes...which I adore (I don’t fry chicken at home any more). I have made a deal with myself to be good until then so I can eat guilt free.

Dang it...I guess I’ll go make a salad and pretend it looks like your picture.

>> “Eating a Southern-style diet is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, according to research in Circulation, an American Heart Association journal.” <<

.
This is BS from top to bottom.

Fred and Alice Otoboni’s research proves the opposite conclusively.

Animal fats, and certain saturated vegetable fats, are key to heart health.

I’ve had two open heart surgeries and a pacemaker

It wasn’t the southern food

It was drop dead gorgeous but batshit crazy evil women

They’ll kill you one way or another

But what a glorious way to go

Then your pancreas is no longer functioning.

It should be making enzymes that cause your body to metabolize the fats.

Perhaps you’re just eating too much starch and grains for your body to function.

>> “No refined Sugar. No Grains. No processed foods. Eat everything else.” <<

.
That is a good start.

But starchy vegetables need to be kept to just one serving per week too.

Animal fats, and certain saturated vegetable fats, are key to heart health.

That's absolutely right and study after study has proved it. Simply put, the AHA is an anti-Southern liberal outfit. Likewise the central government's "food pyramid" is hogwash. The high fat content of traditional Southern dishes is a recipe for a long, happy life. Evidence is clear on the matter as these pictures vividly show.

Ted Cruz, vibrant: Southern diet	Bernie Sanders, frail: Yankee diet

no sugar, lots of whole grains, poultry and fish, occasional red meat, dairy as a garnish.

‘Pends on what it is sweetened with, and how sweet.

Just the starchy part.

The animal fats are very good for your heart, as long as the starch is eliminated.

I’d rather die 10 years earlier than eat like a Californian.

Jake: Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.

Elwood: And some dry white toast please

Leave our damn food and culture alone.

I agree! My hubby’s grandparents lived to be in their 80”s and 90’s his parents are in their 80’s still alive AND they cooked everything with lard. My family same thing, I also cook the same way. How long do people want to live?
