It was all that greasy, artery-clogging pork that Florida cooked for him. Chit'lins AND pork chops all in one meal?

That was a heart attack just waiting to happen.

Not only that, at the end of that hypertension episode, the doctor told him his cholesterol was a little high. That's just as bad as hypertension. They were so worried about hypertension, they overlooked cholesterol.

They were poor and had little education. What did they know about proper nutrition?

Plus they couldn't afford HEALTHY FOOD, Healthy Food is very expensive. Unhealthy Food is much cheaper and gets you to the next day

Yup, It's called Survival

Well the doctor did advise cottage cheese.

uke:

There is always rice, beans and vegetables. But when a man gets hungry, he doesn't want to come home to that stuff. James looked like a man who wanted a MEAL.

I know that was a dumb a$$ suggesstion-lol Eat cottage cheese by itself???-lol

He probably wanted Florida to substitute cottage cheese in place of hamhocks or chitlins.

Besides, I don't think there was much pork chops and other meats in the diet since they always complained of high meat costs.

Meat is still high today, yesterday I bought porkchops and they were $8.25 and some ground turkey for $6. So not much has changed in 30 years lol.

One of the reasons I never liked pork chops was because of all the FAT around the edges

DAMN!!! I would think in your state with all the cattle you all have it would be lower.

I have a thing of pork chops in the freezer and it was only $4.50 for 5 large pieces. WTF??? why such a discrepency?

Solomon, buy pork chops with no fat on them or lean pork chops.

Exactly, it was Fatbacks and Collard Greens. They couldn't afford the good meat and vegetables.
