Soul Food Kills! - Part 1 (An article from dherbs.com)

(A portion of this article was posted  in the last post, but because the complete article was so powerful, I decided to the whole post the whole text version from dherbs.com. It's a hard pill to swallow, but the truth is my brother and sisters"Soul Food Kills!") Warning: This article contains explicit and graphic language. It most certainly will and I have been telling Black people this for many years now. There's a very good reason that African-Americans are less than 14% of the total U.S. population but are the sickest Americans and lead the nation in many degenerative diseases and rank high for having such degenerative (or preventable diseases) as high blood pressure (hypertension), heart attack, high cholesterol, diabetes, fibroid tumors and cysts, colon and rectal cancer, endometriosis, menstrual complaints, breast cancer, skin diseases (acne, eczema), kidney disease and failure, heart failure, and especially obesity. Black people (Black Americans) are by far the most obese people on the planet! Especially African-American women! It's epidemic! Black Americans are sick for many reasons, but especially for reasons pertaining to diet (what they eat)! They don't know what to eat! They don't know to eat foods based upon or in alignment with their bio-genetic makeup. Even the Black Muslims who follow 'How To eat To Live' (by Elijah Muhammad) are in violation here because 'How To Eat To Live' is based upon a Eurocentric concept of diet (actually, most of our Black diets are due to our collective and group/race circumstances) which is adverse to the African or so-called Asiatic. No offense Muslim brethren! Just being real here! However, I really don't believe Elijah Muhammad meant any harm to Black people, I just think he was misguided in his approach to diet, or certain aspects of it. However, the diet he recommended to Black people back in the 1960s and 1970s via this book named above was far better than the traditional Christian (soul food) diet many Blacks had become accustomed to eating and Elijah Muhammad did make hundreds of thousands of Black people very health conscious, including myself (as well as Jason Christopher Muhammad, Shawntell Muhammad, et al), so credit is given where credit is due and deserved. However, it would be a little Black woman by the name of Alvenia Fulton of Chicago, Illinois who would finally come along and teach Black people about a diet far more healthy and conducive to their makeup than Elijah Muhammad or anyone else at that time. In fact, Alvenia Fulton became mentor to the pioneer of the Black health food movement, Mr. Dick Gregory, teaching him how to fast and diet. Ms. Fulton came out and outright promoted total abstinence from meat and other harmful so-called foods that made up the Black diet. Before Elijah Muhammad wrote "How To Eat To Live" (which was actually a book containing what he wrote over the years, and thus a compilation) or before that book ever existed, Ms. Fulton was teaching Black people about proper diet and nutrition and as early as the 1950s. She even opened up her own health food store, Fulton Health and Fasting Institute, reportedly the first Black health food store in America. Fulton taught us that our health is determined by the foods we eat and the liquids we drink. She was the first Black person anywhere to recommend fasting as a means of cleansing the body and allowing the body to cleanse and to heal itself. She called it therapeutic healing. Alvenia Fulton died in 1999 at the age of 92, outliving the Messenger of Allah Elijah Muhammad, who died in 1975 at the age of 77, by 15 years on her vegan or plant-based diet. Vegans are purported to outlive vegetarians by 7 years and meat-eaters (carnivores) by 14 years. Many things promoted in Messenger Muhammad's book 'How To Eat To Live' (if practiced today) are insalubrious, from drinking pure cow snot (so-called 'pure milk'), consuming butter, bread (stale and mildew bread at that), coffee, squab (bird), lamb, etc. These products are ALL acidic and thus mucus-forming products that greatly tax the African body, and religious-based belief cannot refute this fact. The African body cannot tolerate mucus and that's why there are so many cases of mucus-filled diseases that end with the suffix 'itis' that Black Americans are struggling with, from colitis, hepatitis, prostatitis, vaginitis, tendonitis, arthritis, and a plethora of more 'itis' based diseases. But again, the Black Muslim-advocated diet was far superior to the Black Christian diet which was the traditional soul food diet. What Elijah Muhammad advocated in "How To Eat To Live" was only a rudimentary diet in which the Black man and woman were supposed to grow out of and advance up the dietary ladder, something that has taken place with Blacks of the Afrocentric movement. It was the Afrocentric movement of Los Angeles (whose citadel of health, diet, and nutrition was the now defunct "The Good Life") that helped me to advance diet-wise. Moors, Nuwaubians, Black Hebrew Israelites, and many members of the NGE's have been making the necessary advancements up the dietary ladder, surpassing the Black Muslims of the Nation of Islam and Black orthodox Muslim community though I must admit that I do know many Black Muslim members of the Nation of Islam and some orthodox Black Muslims (Bilalians) who are very health conscious and who are vegans. This generic diet called "soul food" is DANGEROUS! How the food is prepared and the chemical ingredients used are what make the food dangerous. Yes, it tastes helluva good (due to fooling the palate), no doubt! But again, it's dangerous! Why is it dangerous? For one, it contains too much SODIUM (salt) and the unnatural kind at that! This salt that folks are using (i.e. Morton's) is nothing but processed crude oil extract and other chemicals mixed together and bleached and sold to the ignorant and unsuspecting American people and the adverse effects of consuming this dangerous product include, but not limited to, headaches, high blood pressure, fluid retention, and thus weight gain and unhealthy weight gain (obesity). Even all the meats Black people (and actually, all Americans) eat are loaded with this unhealthy man-made salt. So salt overload is a big factor in the diet of African-Americans and it leads to fluid retention and thus obesity, explaining in part why African-Americans, especially African-American women, are so obese (fat). African-American girls, generally, start off in life petite or nice shaped, and for some - perfect shaped, and by the age of 30, boom, the weight has hit them and is very noticeable and unsightly cellulite and stretch marks are trademarks of this epidemic. You cannot dislike cellulite and stretch marks but then turn around and like eating the so-called foods that lead to the development of cellulite and stretch marks. In this particular respect, you can't have your cake and eat it too! You can't eat unhealthy food and not become unhealthy yourself. It doesn't work like that! Some of the cutest little skinny girls I went to school with are packing much unhealthy weight today and it's due to their lifestyles (which are sedentary for most) and diet (consisting of dead, processed, man-made manufactured food-stuffs). Actually, being technical, diet is a part of lifestyle. So, sodium is playing a role here (obesity, weight gain) but also synthetic hormones. African-Americans love meat, especially the southern variety. They got me on the hit list for threatening their soul food. (just having some fun!) This meat folks are eating is laced with hormones - growth hormones. These hormones are injected in the animals to speed up their growth (for conversion into food meats) but then humans turn around and unwisely eat these animals and then consume the same hormones secondhand and just like the cow, chicken, or turkey, they blow up, and for many - larger than a damn house! And all because they like to eat what they have no business eating and shouldn't be eating under the circumstances. Eating too much meat is causing a host of adverse health conditions for African Americans. All meat and liquid meat (dairy) contains cholesterol so when you consume meat you are also consuming the animal's cholesterol, so now you got your own cholesterol (human cholesterol) and the cholesterol from crucified and murder animals (animal cholesterol) circulating through your body and the next thing you know, you have gone to the doctor's office and discovered that you have high cholesterol and are recommended toxic and poisonous pharmaceutical medicines (drugs) which if you unwisely take, will create a whole other category of adverse health challenges. Of course you have high cholesterol if you consume high amounts of things that contain cholesterol like meat and dairy. Duh! It's a no-brainer! Well, it should be, but I have to remember or remind myself that many Americans, especially African-Americans, are still very unconscious (mostly due to unconscious choice and living by default). Meat contains worms and parasites but I won't go too much into this due to working on a separate article dealing with these creepy critters, but a lot of Black folks are infested with worms and parasites, especially obese people, and it is from consumption of slaughtered animal flesh mostly, followed by sexually transmitted disease infection (STDs are nothing but parasites of the genital organs). Okay, now let me go down the list of soul food items and give my analysis on each food item for purposes of dietary and nutritional edification. Collard and mustard greens are as African-American as soul music and watermelon. These greens are very nutritious, despite an oxalic acid content that could pose a problem if these greens are consumed too much. Black people KILL their collard and/or mustard greens and other vegetables! Cooking (killing) them until they are limp, and not a trace of crispiness is left, nor a trace of enzymes (which are killed in temperatures of 118 degrees and above) is not salubrious. In addition to boiling the life out of their collard and mustard greens, Black Americans inundate the pot of greens with high blood pressure and headache-causing white table salt, and on top of that, they cook the greens with a piece of animal meat and fat, from a piece of ham hock, or neck bones, or salt pork or bacon. I know chicken and waffles are dear to the taste buds of many Black people, but I'm sorry 'Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles', this combination like most other combinations dear to Black people is greatly mucus forming. Mucus leads to "itis" based diseases. The suffix 'itis' means "inflammation" and inflammation is the result of mucus which is the result of acid which is the result of processed and refined foods and beverages. And it really is high time for Black people (and all people, for that matter) to once and for all to get away from fried chicken and other fried foods, especially fried fatty foods. Heck, even KFC is hip to this nowadays. KFC is now promoting Kentucky Grilled Chicken (though I hear the chicken is not even grilled). But still, it's not fried! And by no means just because the chicken is not fried am I endorsing for anyone to run down to the corner KFC and pick up a bucket of this crap! Fast food, like soul food, will kill you too! They're both crap! Be warned people! Fast food and soul food tax the human heart, inflames it and makes it work harder. Black folks also love them some macaroni and cow snot, oops, my bad! I meant, "cheese." Macaroni and cheese! You can't pay me to eat, let alone to sniff or smell, some macoroni and cheese. This stuff honesty smells like shit to me. All cheese does. I can't walk down the aisle where cheese is sold in any Whole Foods Market, especially the one in Berkeley, California. I have to either avoid the aisle or hold my breath and start running through the aisle just to get to another part of the store. No lie! Cheese really stinks like shit to me and I'm disgusted I ever used to eat this crap. I really am! And it's a trip that vegan cheeses don't stink like regular cheese. I'm not attempting to make any cheese eaters feel bad. I'm simply expressing my personal views, opinions, beliefs, and thoughts. Before I forget, I have to warn you all that meat and dairy product contains real animal shit! It does! I know some of you are perturbed by my willful use of profanity but that doesn't change the fact that all meat and dairy products contain shit. Bruce Willis' character in the movie "Fast Food Nation - The Movie" admitted that our meats contain shit and people have been eating shit for years. This fact is also brought up in the DVD "The Rave Diet" which some good Hebrew Israelite friends in Atlanta, Georgia gave me a few years ago when I lectured there at their Soul Vegetarian restaurant. Because the suction devices fall from the tits of the cows and onto the ground that is covered with cow feces, and the devices are picked back up and not washed off or washed efficiently but put back onto the cow's tit, traces of the feces gets into the suction devices and bypasses the filter (yes, milk is filtered for the cow shit that it contains). The Seventh Day Adventist put out a great video "Let's Eat!" that actually showed a feces-stained filter from the milk production process. I used to always wonder how people could say something tastes like shit (or piss) when they've never eaten or sampled shit or piss, but then when I learned of how feces and urine is in meat (and dairy products) and people eat meat, then it clicked! It made sense to me! People can actually say a thing tastes like shit and/or piss because they are consuming these excrements in their so-called foods. Plus, smell is 95% of taste and what you smell you taste, so if you've smelled feces and urine, then you've also tasted them! Do you even know how cheese is processed (made)? Baby male cows are killed and their stomachs ripped open and their intestines are ground up and dumped into the cheese processor so the cheese mixture can have enzymes. With cheese you're getting fat, cholesterol, hormones, bacteria, salt, casein (even in many of the vegan cheese brands in health food stores). If you want a nose full of snot and/or dried up boogers, just chow down on some cheese and make a habit out of it and watch what your nose (and your family's nose) becomes full of. Black women, generally speaking, love cheese! Oh yes they do! And they will tell you this to your face and think nothing about it, but then a lot of them wonder why they stay so constipated, experience vaginal discharge and with a serious stench in most cases, have stained teeth and perhaps foul breath, and are plagued with uterine and ovarian fibroid tumors and cysts and a host of menstrual problems. Cheese is a dietary fetish for American women in general, Black women in particular. Man, they love cheese as well as grains (bread) - two very constipating items! Our food addiction in America is a serious pathology. It's amazing to me what people will die for. "It tastes good!" Yeah, I'm sure it does, but it KILLS! How are you going to be able to taste anything when you are dead and in a coffin and your lips are sewed or stitched up? People are outright slaves to their own corrupted and polluted taste buds. Cheese is a horrible product for Black people to eat. It obstructs the arteries, helps create plaque, corrode the teeth, and many other deleterious things. Growing up in the Hood whenever we took pictures my mother, aunts, or maternal grandmother were always sure to say "On a count of 3 everybody say CHEESE!!!!" Of all they things they could have had lactose-intolerant Black children say before snapping a camera to take a picture. Continued in Part 2 Thank you for reading!
