Rethinking the Tradition of Food
My parents were born in the 20s and 30s in McComb and Liberty, Mississippi, and I was bred on down home, old fashioned southern values… and cooking. I thank God for my upbringing and enjoy the tastes, textures and memories of good soul food, yet the strong pattern of hypertension and diabetes in my family health tree called for a closer look at the food I had given a hallowed place.

“Everyday across this nation, many people pray to God to “bless this food we are about to receive to nourish our bodies…” and then proceed to feed on substandard stuff.
