I'm saying that what we think of when we discuss "Southern Cuisine" usually means dishes that originated as white planter comfort foods (biscuits, gravy, fried chicken, pork and related meats, BBQ, cane sugar, high-fat dairy products, etc) but which became far more available and widespread with the advent of industrialized farming. A more-comprehensive definition would include greens, beans, rice, corn, catfish and crawfish, fruits and nuts, and so forth.

This is true though. To be clear, I wasn't blaming modern American obesity on "Southern Cuisine," merely explaining where the association with being fat and sedentary comes from (pre-war plantation owners, who were often fat and sedentary, but for different socioeconomic reasons than modern-day people who are fat and sedentary, and also largely poor).

I'm reasonably sure fried chicken was a food for poor blacks who didn't exactly get the best chickens, usually being scrawny and gamey. That's why there's the stereotype of black people loving watermelon and friend chicken, it was the food of the poor.

Wangs are a part of the human body, as are boobs and vaginas. If you can't see them without being disgusted or sexualizing them, the problem is yours and yours alone.

Whatever you say, Olmec.
