They call is soul food, I call is Southern cooking.
(Reuters) - After interviewing food historians, scholars, cooks, doctors, activists and consumers for his new film "Soul Food Junkies," filmmaker Byron Hurt concluded that an addiction to soul food is killing African-Americans at an alarming rate.
The movie, which will premiere
on January 14 on U.S. public broadcasting television, examines how black
cultural identity is linked to high-calorie, high-fat food such as
fried chicken and barbecued ribs and how eating habits may be changing.
In the deeply personal film, Hurt details his father's fight and eventual death from pancreatic cancer. A high-fat diet is a risk factor for the illness, according to researchers at Duke University in North Carolina.
"I
never questioned what we ate or how much," 42-year-old New Jersey-based
Hurt says in the film that travels from New Jersey and New York to
Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Chicago. (continue at Reuters)
Not suprizing.
I can go to any Chic Fil A or KFC at any time of the day and all ya see are BIG HUGE Black gals filling their faces and their kids faces.
Not my problem if they don't have the discipline to eat healthy food.
Sides, now they Obamacare why would they live healthy?
The rest of us will foot the bill.
Next damn thing you'll hear is Jesse Jackasson or Al Sharpton sueing KFC because they are killing black people with fried chicken !
Oh what a damn mess.

Beef fat goes rancid very very quickly. The only 'safe' fat to save for any length of time is bacon fat. Even then, it only keeps for a few days at room temperature. That would explain the horrid smell your friend experienced. Soul Food! Mmmm-mmmm, sho' am good!
