Much of the “white food” mentioned in the article is actually “liberal food.”
As someone with a chronic illness who has 17 health care providers (most, thank God, whom I have to see less than once per year at this point), a healthy diet is vital for me if I hope to have a chance to live to a ripe old age. And I follow scrupulously my doctors’ and nutritionist’s recommendation.
But I don’t ever remember eating candied walnuts or pickled onions. I don’t eat Brussels slaw, drink kale juice, or “hydrogen-infused” water. Nothing made from chia seeds. Or acai or goji berries.
I eat a modest diet comprising fresh meat, dairy, and eggs, fresh vegetables and salads, fresh fruit, high-fiber bread and pasta, rice, beans, lentils, and other legumes. I make my own (rapturous) pasta sauce (with lots of good red wine). I mostly drink water, black coffee, and iced tea (unsweetened). And a glass of wine a couple of times per week.
Mainly, I’m told to eat a balanced diet, keep my calories in check, avoid processed foods, especially processed meats, keep sodium low, and don’t go out to eat too often.
Thank you, sir, from the bottom of my heart!
You typed the entire word "vegetables".
Exactly. They’re talking about SJW food. Effete white liberal living in a gated/gentrified community sending their kid to private school food.
Soul food is really southern food — common to both blacks and whites down here.
The problem with southern food, if it has one, isn’t the inexpensive cuts of meat and vegetables. It’s the carbs. The rolls, the biscuits, the cornbread, the super sweet tea, in super sized portions.
I get so frustrated with the whole racial food angle. Food could easily be an area of common traditions and enjoyment, especially here in the south. But nope, gotta make it a social justice thing and keep people divided.
