Killing ourselves and descendants thru diet
Yeah, sorry. This linked back to my account on FB. I didn't like that and tried to erase this post, but couldn't. I did however had what little authority to remove that post from my whole FB account... I was gonna come back with the article that I referenced, but respect the approval listing.

It's true though, when you see our fam still eating chitlings, hog mog, fried steak with gravy all over it, you can see it first hand.
Eventhough the post is gone, the thread topic is still factual. We eat so badly. I was at Denny's and the meal with the highest amount of calories was a salad at over 3500 calories! Now think of eating that and then two additional full meals throughout the day. We wouldn't diesel in our car but we'll sure put all types of bad fuel in our bodies.
Processed foods and the whole gambit. Just last weekend I just got through telling someone about vanilla flavoring and scents are extracted from beaver butts. So, if you don't have vanilla leaf($13 for a itty-bitty strip of organic plant); you eating taste-like-vanilla-beaver-butt in your Banana Pudding..
No thanks!!
...and think, this kind of madness is in everything we eat and wonder why cancer rates keep increasing. You're smelling polluted, eating food with toxins, and drinking water that sits in a plastic container. We abuse our bodies...and then when you add in sedentary lifestyles you can see how many people's bodies just fail. Heart be like:
at the bold. I remember as a child hearing that Ocean Spray juice got it's flavoring from flies. It may have just been a rumor but it stuck with me since. You never know what you're ingesting nowadays. You'll see a juice that says "made with 2% fruit juice" and it's like ok what the heck is the other 98%?
Right, all kinds of foods made with questionable sources. I really wish we didn't step away from our farm lives. Cash/money is a concept surrounding material gain, but health is irreplaceable value
We didn't step away from the farm, the farm was taken from us.
Black farmers sue White company for selling them 6 tons of bad seed on purpose
For the past several decades the plight of the Black farmer has been largely ignored by many in the United States including major civil rights organizations. When Blacks were in bondage America's agrarian economy depended on the free labor and expertise of its slaves. After emancipation, Blacks...

Could you elaborate on that please? I'm trying to understand where you're coming from.

I need to get my diet in check, I eat fast food way too much. One moment I eat clean, get bored, then I’m at Taco Bell.
I say political prisoners because we are entrapped in a socioeconomic paradigm, that will not allow us access to capitalize in any industry except for entertainment and religion. We've made small strides here and there and have had our "first African-American" in all industries, but nothing we have been allowed to begin to build or embellish. The best of that was Madam C.J. Walker and I really don't know what happened to her products, nor the politics behind it not being a standing brand today. Especially considering that black hair products alone, is a billion dollar industry! Is it a Marcus Garvey situation, a Bobby Hemmitt or the typical familial discord... When considering our circumstances now and throughout, it is not because we are inherently victims to misunderstanding the dynamics of capital, enterprise or technology.
Please do. I know it's hard because I was raised on fast-food and unfortunately these vegetables and fruit are not hitting like what I am accustomed. Since I've changed my diet(one week a a time-because I back-slide a LOT🤫🤫), I have seen an improvement in my skin(acne, discoloration, and overall appearance), I've lost weight and believe it or not, I can feel the difference when I am not eating right. In my mind I have to repeat "necrovoire, beaver-butt and puss.. OH MY!!!"
Very well said and I totally concur. We're trying to build a house on quicksand and every once awhile we'll get a structure erect but the sand shifts. It's not our capabilities that are the issue, it's the state of not being able to build on solid ground that is.
I think we should take note from the NAACP. Invest in a Hispanic or middle eastern political front to carry our legitimate agendas thru, while inadvertently marginalizing their political passions..
