Hmmm, I must be chitlins, corn bread, southern fried chicken,okra and pee-can pie.

Well from one grandma, I'm roast beef, boiled potatoes, and lots and lots of "afters" as grandma used to call her after meal snacks. The other grandma, moonshine. Anyway, I'm glad I know I can blame more people for any problems I might have.

[GourmetDan]

Hmmm.

This would indicate that it is very possible that eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil really did cause death to enter Adam and Eve and their offspring.

Mainstream science takes another hit. The Bible is shown accurate once again.

[A. Pole]

The new mouse experiment lends support to the idea that we inherit not only our genes from our parents, but also a set of instructions that tell the genes when to become active. These instructions appear to be passed on through "epigenetic" changes to DNA – genes can be activated or silenced according to the chemical groups that are added onto them.

Another hint that the crude "Darwinian" scheme is false. Some day Lamarck will be rehabilitated, mark my words.

Monica's grandkids, I guess, will be the future of the 'Rat party . . .

My grandmother baked cakes with the density of a nuetron star.I should have collapsed to the center of the earth by now.

[Silly]

My grandmother NEVER ate mice!

[Randy Larsen]

My mother's mother was 100% kraut, via Ohio. She ate, mostly, limberger and onion sandwiches on rye bread, Pabst Blue Ribbon and something called "German Lettuce" which involved wilting lettuce in bacon grease and mayonaise.

There was also a great deal of fried fish, saur kraut and knockwurst, and lots of pie, lemon meringue mostly.

[agrarianlady]

Well, one grandmother died of heart disease and one has Type II diabetes. Ruh roh!

They consumed a George McGovern diet: plenty of hydrogenated oils (margarine was so preferable to butter, you know), corn, white bread, and pasta.

I have always contended that the most important decision you make in life is who you chose to be your grandparents.

'Soul' (Redneck Southern)food is what I had three times a day for the first twelve years of my life. All four grandparents lived into their late eighties to mid nineties when the average life expectancy was 55.

My wife has a similar heritage...

our diet is still fatty and flavorful and the only time we visit a doctor is for a checkup... We also have never had a prescription that was renewed more than twice...

BTW, I am 70 and my wife is 65...

[celtic gal]

It's all Grandma's Fault!

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Blam you are busy these days!

You Are What Your Grandmother Ate

Wow! I really am my own Grandpa!

Oh. Did I just say that?

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

My Mother's family is from South Texas, and I'm sure ate a lot of Mexican food. What does that portend for my descendants?

[Modok]

Well I hope my grandmother had a good diet in TN during the civil war.

[Young Scholar]

Let's hope caviar and smoked salmon enrich my life.

[TigersEye]

The sins of the father will be visited on seven generations?!?

Well then, if food effects genetics what else might? It is well established that emotions/attitude effect hormone levels and immune response.

cause and effect isn't just for asians anymore =8-O

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I'm a cup of tea and a nip of toast? Hmmm... no wonder why I am always HUNGRY.
