Fyi: kale can be a good dupe for collard greens. Saute in olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and sugar. shyt be popping, I try to make it at least once a week.

Thought this was already widely known

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

So is Mexican Food

And Chinese

And them Hot Dogs on the grill everyone love in the summer


All the best tasting shyt is the worst health wise, still good as hell tho

I'm guessing you are referring to American takeout Chinese.

 

[Brolic Scholar]

Real shyt.

I just had this conversation a few minutes ago with my cousin. Long story short, my uncle died today... of a heart attack. My day has been fukked up and I’ve been on here throughout the day to distract myself, but out of all my Pop’s brothers, heart attacks in their 60s did them all in.

That means I have 20 something years to go if I don’t cut out the bullshyt. I’ve gotten by for so long on working out, but I’m starting to feel the effects of a poor diet. shyt’s scary. I need to change my ways.

To all my young brehs, I remember 25 like it was yesterday. Time flies my dudes. Start good habits while you’re young.

Not lifting weights is killing African Americans.

 

[Jemmy]

Black eyed peas, collard greens (without neckbones, hammocks etc., in them) okra, gumbo etc...are quite healthy.

Soul food is not just fried chicken and chitlins. It's as healthy or bad as you want it to be.

People don’t realize this. Soul Food is very wide ranging when it comes to the different foods.

I eat soul food all time being Southern born and raised. My blood pressure is fine. My health is impeccable except for an eye condition. I run 6 miles easily. But I dont indulge in the fried. Baked chicken smothered at times, definitely baked mac n cheese, dirty rice, gumbo, boudain, greens, cornbread, red beans and rice. No sweet tea, tho I love it, cold water is actually my goat drink.

Jamaican and soul food is goat

I see what you did there.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Black folk are less likely to eat veggies, fruit and whole grains? I call bullshyt.

Less likely to eat or less likely to find? There's a difference.

Are you in your 20s or your 40s?

 

[Afro]

And black people can't ingest as much salt as other races

Is this true

 

[GoldCoastSaint]

Are you in your 20s or your 40s?

Neither

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Neither

Touche.

 

[SirReginald]

Soul food is good though.
