Soul food and Black music could make the world a better place.

OMG, I thought I was the only one who doesn't eat dairy in the winter!   They are hilarious but no lies detected.  Belly is full but no nutrients.  And yes, I can cook my a - off but I know that food is bad for the heart.  Even though it's good for the soul.

I love the comments. Especially about fried chicken and slavery.

Same here. I love to cook as well. Moderation is the key when it comes to eating it.

I've been on a weight-loss diet since puberty - so yes, exactly!  Moderation is the key!

 

But here's something else I've learned.  Movement. A lot of us forget to move when we get older.   I'm not talking about exercising for 30- 60 minutes a day, although that is good too. But I mean getting up and moving every hour for at least 9-10 hours a day.  I jog for 3.30 minutes every hour. And I don't eat after 6 PM.  Well, at least 6 days a week.  

 

Ok back on topic: - I'll eat soul food (poultry/ fish, greens, oats and corn meal, but I've cut back on wheat.  Baked macaroni for holiday meals. But no peach cobbler, ever.

Yep. I've been on a see food diet for as long as I can remember. I see food and I eat it. 

 

Great advice regarding movement. It's harder for the bad fat to stick if it gets burned up regularly.

I’ve had similar reactions from friends trying soul food for the first time—it's wild how flavor-packed it is. I’ve been trying to make healthier versions at home lately, swapping out traditional ingredients where I can. One thing that’s helped me feel better after those heavy meals is mixing a scoop of organic grass fed whey protein into smoothies. It’s a good way to bounce back without feeling like I’m missing out.

Man you better HURRY UP and say that again...lol.

Black Music is the main reason the United States is the entertainment capital of the planet.
No other nation has "us" like the United States.

The only other nation that comes anywhere close is Jamaica.
For some reason, Reggae music sells a lot.....especially when it comes to Africans and Western Europeans.
However the rest of the world isn't too hot for it.
But Rap and RnB is almost Universally loved and often imitated by people all over the planet.

Funny to see that I wrote that 3 years ago. I've been hanging out here for a long minute. Time flies.

Black folks add flavor to everything we do....music, food, sports, fashion, etc.

Reggae has changed over the years but it still heavily influences other styles of Black music especially in Africa.
