Either that or Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat

why are you so against change?

i don't feel like this is unreasonable at all

i don't get the pushback

Food is a part of our culture. Youre bugging.

This is why Italians get mad when you add stuff to their recipes when youre not Italian

Same with other cultural groups.

This is a clown take OP. We can make soul food healthier or just eat it sparingly. Getting rid of it??

Ok, lets get rid of jollof too cuz it needs half a cup of canola oil. Along with most African dishes which are soaked in oil or heavy in starch

have you read this thread

I read OP and the title.

i think you'll enjoy the thoughts in here

feel free if you get the chance

I'm against headassery. Literally ANYTHING can be considered "soul food". Vegans/vegetarians got their own kinda soul food. Pescatarians, Italians, Germans, Caribbean people all kinds who cook a variety of different kinds of food have something they call "soul food".

The fact that you are trying to come specifically for Black American's soul food in a manner in which that it is "holding us back" is corny as hell. Knock it off or keep that same energy for everyone else.

dumbass

i feel like you've been aggressive towards me for no reason

we're not enemies

where have i "come specifically for black american's soul food"

i am a black american simply asking the question: are we ever going to stop eating soul food

i was unaware that other cultures also have soul food

does theirs also come with the same slave background?

Naw, we ain't gonna ever stop eating soul food. It's too delicious, son.

why did you type this

You do realize that food doesn't have to come from a "slave background" to be considered soul food right? It can literally be anything that brings comfort or nourishes the body and soul.

Black people probably would've found a way to make soul food even if they weren't enslaved.

yeah sure

but i'm talking specifically

about this

"Historically a food that began during the tragic years of slavery in the South, when slaves would get cuts of meat and vegetables that were considered inedible by their white “masters,” the great migration following the Civil War introduced soul food to the entire country. But many former slaves remained in the South, and today, a food once considered rudimentary at its best is now found in almost every kind of place, from gas stations to diners and upper-crust eateries. Here are some favorites around the Volunteer State owned by African-Americans who put their heart and soul into every bite.."

nah, it's part of our culture and heritage.

we are still eating THAT food

you're talking about comfort food

they are not the same thing

should it be that way forever?

it's not something i think we should just get rid of. soul food every once in a while is fine, obviously not s*** you should be eating every day.

because you made this stupid thread....like a dumbass

have a good day

appreciate you stopping by
