I think somebody slipped something in your brownies.
I wish they'd slip something into mine.
No wait, they need to bring the brownies, too.
Want a healthy diet?
Eat a well balanced diet of food that was not pre-processed
Pretty simple, really.
Agreed. My apologies. It appears that I my thread was misinterpreted.
My intent was to unveil a little known element of racism. Some people will not eat certain foods because it's associated with a specific ethnic group, even though these foods are quite healthy, when prepared properly.
I'd chosen "soul food" because its heritage fascinate me.
Imagine thousands of slaves, working out in the fields, being handed only scraps of meat and vegetables to eat, yet they'd managed to come up with culinary works of art. The reason why the food was so unhealthy was because they'd cooked with handed down oils and equipment.
With new technology, African Americans can now lead the way in providing healthy foods for all Americans. But you have to eat it first.
Food for thought.
I have never heard of people refusing to eat food because they're RACIST.
I've certainly never heard of people refusing to eat fried chicken and collard greens because they don't like black people.
