Women generally make sure to eat well, men do not..I also suspect societal stress aggravates underlying conditions in Southern brehs.
Another factor is, women have children. So they had to learn to cook, giving them a chance to cook healthier. Plus they had more time in the kitchen, allowing them to make food taste half way decent compared to men. Meanwhile we find ourselves frequenting fast food joints more often, or we see men, especially older men, getting robbed going to these soul food joints for dinner, spending a fortune on some chicken with macroni and cheese. And you know how dangerous soul food can be when you start messing with the fried stuff, which gets easier and easier to give into, especially on a Friday.
