Undereducated Black men are most likely to eat these foods, and being that it's a SOUTHERN thing, GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS, GANG? In all fairness, even though pork, shellfish and certain other foods are forbidden Jewish cooking can be heart "unhealthy" as well. I also like knishes, latkes noodle pudding, etc. a little too much :-p

Eating is harmful to your health. End global eating now!!!

They’re probably happier as a whole, though.

No refined Sugar. No Grains. No processed foods. Eat everything else.

I loves me some fried chicked but the stomach no likey the grease anymore. With the high BP to contend with its not very healthy either on the cardiovascular system. What it bees.

Time for me to listen to Bobby Bare’s “Food Blues” again. LOL

Being Christian Messianic, my idea of kosher is considerably less stringent than yours... But pork (very sadly, still a great temptation) and shellfish are off the menu.... But Torah doesn't say anything about deep-fried Snickers and sweet tea... And I will say that I doubt that sweet tea is any where near as bad for folks as soda pop is.

Leave our damn food and culture alone.

[discostu]

I don’t think you need to be undereducated or black to eat those foods. You just need to know what flavor is. Southern Food is Comfort Food, and Comfort Food is hard on the waste-line and the heart, but it sure does taste good.

Are they trying to say the corn cob pipes and Indian batter makes you fat or a little fatter?

I’m privileged to know several genuine southerners who wear the redneck label proudly. They come from long-lived lineage. Most of the parents and grandparents are alive and in their nineties. Many relatives have lived past 100. I always get a second helping of whatever they’re having.

It does have two big things going for it.

It is damn tasty and you are less likely to have Moslims hanging around to shoot the place up.

One can search out those lists of “fattest cities”, all kinds of cities are on there, it seems Mexican food also plays a part in some cities. As they say, moderation.

This is the same AHA that told us to eat margarine instead of butter for decades.

Well no sh!t, but at least you’ll die happy.

And besides, stepping in front of an oncoming bus is bad for your health, too. As is being at the wrong intersection when some punk who just stole a car blows through a stop sign. And no amount of healthy eating is going to help you, then.
