Healthy, my ass

Many blacks love big women, but having a rump the size of Buffie the Body's can put women at risk for disease.

    Bull if soul food is a nutritional nightmare!

    An earlier poster said soul food is a nutritional nightmare. This poster is uninformed!

    A few years ago Nutrition Action Newsletter (known affectionately as the "food police") had a contest to determine the single most nutritional food. The collard green beat out the runner-up, the sweet potato, by a thin margin.

    Additionally, soul food is the very definition of "slow food" so popular in elite (white) foodie circles just now.

    African-Americans (and everyone else) should eat MORE "soul food" and less fast food.

    —Anonymous
