Duh, no [expletive deleted], Sherlock. This is a diet for the turn-of-the-century sharecropper.

In twenty-first century America, you better be bustin´ your butt all day if you plan to eat like this. Or have a well-worn gym membership card.

But culinary tradition dies hard. I know. Most of my family has Southern roots. We try to keep it to one day a week, but sometimes... well, you know.

Corn bread and black eyed peas. There is nothing like Southern Cookin´ And lest we forget chicken fried steak, cream gravy and mashed taters. Where´s Paula Deen? Moderation is a virtue.

Being born is nearly always fatal.

#2 - Congress should issue a special honorarium medal for Paula Deen.

Write your legislators!

Stay fit, eat healthy, and still die

Nutritional epidemiologist? Is that a joke?

This physician says eat whatever you want, just not so much of it. Get a little exercise and don´t smoke.

The vast majority of our illnesses are self inflicted. Nearly all the medicines we take are unnecessary. Most of our dollars spent on "prevention" are a waste.

Suzanne Judd needs to stop picking on fried chicken because it is delicious.

As a practicing heathen, the quality of my life is more important than the length. You all can decide otherwise, but leave me to my chickenfried steak and sweet tea.

Another fake science piece of liberal trash served up by California liberals.
Southern dishes keep alive our glorious heritage, and nourish our traditional American values.
How dare anyone pass judgment on what I or my family decides to put on our table! This is yet another sign of Obamawannajihad trying to take control of real American´s lives.
In protest, I´ve prepared fried chicken, biscuits, redeye gravy, hoppin john and collard greens. For dessert we are going to smoke a carton of cigarettes and a eat a whole velvet cake.
Take that skinny liberals.. I hope all thier heads explode!

Utter nonsense. What you eat is not the problem. YOU are the problem.

Don´t like our diet?

Then stay up North!

This so-called scientist may teach at Alabama, but she thinks like a Yalie.

A bit of a generalization, but the southerners I know are much happier people...

Um, the last time I looked the University of Alabama was not in California.

As opposed to those who live on a fast food diet ?

Notice southern people are happier than others who are like yapping dogs biting your ankles ? They are happier because frankly Scarlet, we don´t give a dam what you think.

Ms. Suzanne will get my sweettea (one word) when she prizes it from my cold, dead hands.

Let´s see . . . 75 years as a happy, God-fearing, gun-shooting, well fed, food lovin´ southerner (well, actually, Texan - there´s a difference) vs. 85 years of tight lipped, arugula-eating, democrat-voting, baby-killing, liberal-zombi-ing, miserable liberal - I think the choice is obvious. Heaven will be here for me 10 years earlier than hell will come for you. Skanky-yankee wannabe.

Didn´t this "news" come out 20 years ago? Was this study funded by the government? I´ll save the rest of you researchers a lot of trouble; all the good things are bad for you. IPA, bread pudding, grilled meat, potatoes au gratin. What was I talking about?

I love bacon.wrapped corn dogs, deep fried Twinkies and my assault rifle and no one is going to take them away from me, got it mister president?

...may... Then again, may not.

Sounds like the latest chapter in the left´s war on the south.I guess this idiot thinks everyone north of the Mason/Dixon line are healthy eaters and don´t cost the government a dime in healthcare costs.

All the things this woman talks about are conventional wisdom things that´s been around for years. There´s things taken as truth because they´ve been repeated so many times. Everybody´s body is different and tolerates different things at different levels.

I´ve been smoking over 40 years and according to health wisdom,I should have been dead before I was born.You know every cigarette takes 10 minutes off your life.The left says second hand smoke kills people,yet we see Chinese in absolute horrible smog conditions,still walking around.

Somehow,in the left´s mind,the south is responsible for all this country´s problems when it´s really urbanites in general.

If this woman wanted to do constructive research,she should study the Amish lifestyle. How can they live in the same country as everybody else and have little or no disease or obesity problems?

Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

Yeah, as if any Coastie Leftie is worried about the longevity of the knuck-dragging ,pickup driving, gun loving, Obama loathing REAL Americans.
