Heritage because it's made of the only foods that our ancestors were able to use hundreds of years ago during slavery......But it is very harmful to out bodies so it's BOTH.....

 

[king hassan]

[kzzl]

A heritage that could be harmful if done excessively, like most foods. I don't fuck with intestines and all that other weird shit. Just give me the meat of the animal.

Highly Underrated Post!!!!

Heritage, it's only harmful if yo fat ass don't exercise and/or take care of yourself like you're supposed to.

These type of meals shouldn't be consumed daily, because you do have to take care of yourself for the long run. This same principle applies to fast food as well.

heritge. i DO NOT fuck w/ that shit, chitlins, pig feet, pig ears, hamhocks, gizzards....nasty. alot of older people actualy enjoy the taste of these things, its not bout survival anymore. to each his own but like someone already said, u have to eat it in moderation and exercise.

 

[Aschooleric]

Heritage, I personally dont eat the stuff but its fine if you aint sittin on your ass all day.

 

[J.AFRICANUS]

Its more harmful than heritage first of all in the motherland we did not poison our bodies with swine. Second slavery has been over for 145 and to continue to eat slave food on the basis of heritage is down right shameful. To keep letting Willie Lynch at our dinner tables is pure ignorance. I'm a southerner to the bone but swine does not touch my fork.

 

[Gnawledgeable]

I eat soul food like every other month. As for Big Mama, she cooked every sunday, no wonder . . . .

 

[truth spitter]

I try to only eat that shit during the holidays when I spend time with family cause not eating their food is a sign of disrespect. And bout 80% of the U.S. population don't exercise on a consistent basis so they gonna be assed out when they hit 60 years old. I got family in the country (mostly women) that live to be 80-90 years old eating soul food monthly. But the thing is they aint been exposed to the things we have i.e. fast food, city pollution, drugs. And even then they still have illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure. But yea u niggas gon have a heart attack at 50 keep eating that swine all the time.

carribbean food >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> soul food

 

[dwade206]

What's wrong with collard greens, yams, potato salad, chicken, and black-eyed peas? Too many people, ignorant people at that, want to only point out the negative factors in Black culture. So I guess we're supposed to act like other cultures don't have unhealthy dishes as well?

...how about this, eat a dick.

 

[still-SBP]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I fucks with this nigga

 

[MICHAEL-V.I.]

Its almost new year's so I know a lot of u niggas are loading up on the chitlins, hog maws, pig ears and tails and other disgusting shit. Whenever I tell someone that this bullshit is slave food and not

fit for human consumption all I hear is that this food is part of the negro heritage.

What say u, my IC brethren

Hmmmmmmmm

Fried chicken, you give me heart disease/ you're not a vixen

you're a BIRD/ but not a key

I'm gone eat some shit, until what I'm eating kill's me, and I choose to do that

Why?

Cause that's just what nigga'z do

 

[buttuh_b]

Both obviously. That shit is terrible for you though so I think you should eat it in reeeal moderation...
