I love me some soul food. Cornbread and greens with onions and hot sauce are my weaknesses.

*didn't read thread*
I read somewhere that it wasn't until we started eating like white people that it became a problem.
Said that slave diets were mostly vegetable based cause meat was expensive. The fat and little bit of meat they had was made into broth to cook the vegetables in.
Wasn't until we started making meat the most important part of the meal that things began to sour.
Now more recently almost everything we eat is pumped full of chemicals and God knows what which only increases the health risks.

I don't exactly know what a "healthy food" is but I most definitely know
it is not expensive to eat healthier and lose weight. And I agree, I
spend more money when I eat fast food and eat fried foods vs. eating
healthier...mainly because when I eat healthier I usually eat less.
Also, most of the fat black people I know aren't hurting when it comes to food money.

Exactly, especially the ones on food stamps. Most of the time, they're not using that money to stock up on healthy foods

From what I've seen in this thread, only Prazol has admitted to eating soul food on the regular, most only reserve it for special occasions. So if BHM is a microcosm of the black community, and by extension a representative sample, then why are black people still dying of heart disease, cancer, etc at alarming rates that are directly a result of high fat/salt diets if we are only eating this stuff like twice a year? I'm just curious. |
i eat soul food about once a week. i just don't like the extreme stuff...i make baked mac, yams, smothered chops or chicken, greens, etc on the regular.
@nick...they're bad bc of how we cook them...we're cooking all of the nutrients out of them...i also like bacon and the grease in mine so there goes that mmm
