We as African American need to really change our eating habits. But because of the poverty level, it is hard to buy healthy food products. Sometimes you have to make a decision between medicine and food. You really have to exercise and eat right. This has really helped me.
You don't need to buy healthy food. Just cut out all the carbs, and fat in your diet. Instead of frying your chicken, bake it with the skin removed. Use olive oil instead of lard or butter. Drink water or even diet soda instead of sweet tea. Eating healthy is cheaper because you're eating less but get full quicker since you're consuming protein and fiber instead of processed carbs.
Heaven forbid if I had to live in a place like Mississippi, I would desire lots of comfort food to amortize having to live in what seems like an awfully uncomfortable place.
Honestly one of the biggest challenges of obesity in the states is the portion sizes. Most places serve just way way too much food for one person. If you're grow up being told to finish your plate, then portions that easily serve two can become a problem over time.
Laziness causes this I'm sorry, Mississippi has large areas that can be farmed. Start with a small backyard garden with tomatoes, cucumers, cabbage, etc...our ancestors did it and so can we!
wwilddjohnson01 super late, but government subsidies on corn, soybeans, wheat and such not on fruit or vegetables. it's literally not profitable to grow fruit or vegetables.
Unhealthy food..fried..chicken.. collard greens cooked in salt and ham..pig feet..and more. You can make these healthy by baking the chicken..cooking the collards without salt..and ham..you can use pieces of healthier meat like turkey in that..i dont want my arteries clogged up..good food dont have to be greasy..or salty..or too much sugar..there are recipes you can substitute now. No excuse.
yep,, i've been cooking the collard greens in about 1-2 tbs. of olive oil. and saute i just use a bit of pink sea salt. chicken yes,, batter and bake,,,it will be nice,, I don't really know southern food, but i love collard greens and yams, but i like all my food to have flavor, and not this heaps of oils,,,Well i learned about Mississippi... I would grow veggies for Sure Though and fruit trees.
50% of the comments are being racist,The other 48% is people saying that black women are disgusting I completely disagree with that That statement,people saying how skinny they are the other 1% of people actually standing up for the black women!
@hoghtonborn Did you watch to 5:44? Of course she can cook. That's not the issue. The issue is that affordable fresh produce of decent quality isn't available as readily as cheap, processed, high-fat food. When you're on a limited budget and you have three kids crying to be fed NOW, and you can buy a whole fast food meal more cheaply than a pound of mushy apples, it's no wonder people make the choices they make.
This is a huge pitfall people fall into when trying to lose weight. People will work out for an hour or two and feel they can eat whatever they want now. However, they greatly overestimate how many calories they burned off (those meters on the machines that say how many calories you've burned aren't accurate at all). So, because they feel they can afford it, they eat more than they would have if they hadn't exercised and end up consuming even more calories than normal. The idea that you need to "Hit the gym" to lose weight is inaccurate. While that obviously helps, a vast majority...70% minimum...of your focus should be on changing your diet. That is what will help you lose and keep off the weight. To go back to my example above, you could work rigorously at the gym for two hours and all you'd probably burn off is a Snickers bars. It's significantly quicker and easier to simply remove the Snickers Bars.
Why is everyone talking super slow? Also, overweight does not start at 300lbs!!! I’m 143 pounds (5’4) and my doctor told me to lose 5 to 10 or so pounds.
Very dangerous to workout and be unhealthy. Odds are you won't recover from the last workout. Better to eat right get your body ready by training it to absorb the nutrients again. Usually it's caused by insulin resistance or your body is unable to absorb nutrients
The scientific evidence strongly suggests cheap carbohydrates is the primary cause of obesity but this video kept suggesting it's the fried chicken and pork chops. All this does is perpetuate fallacies. Shameful piece of journalism.
Tim Watters no it’s the lack of action and motion that doesn’t burn enough calories that come from the carbs. You can eat 10,000 cal in carbs and won’t get fat if your burn 10,000 cals in 24-36 hours
Interesting piece of journalism. I'd like to have known what hourly rates of pay were for those catering workers. And the young woman who\d had the stroke, could she cook? Do people there cook at home?
Health is wealth! If you're unhealthy, nothing else matters! It's all about healthy choices, healthy portions, and excerse!! You must change your way of eating for life! If you want to loose weight, and keep it off!
I am a counniseur of fried chicken, t-bone is my favorite cut of steak and I love all kinds of seafood especially shellfish like oysters, shrimp, scallops, etc.
It is hard to change a culture. If all you se is fat people then you start to think it is normal. You think fast food is normal food. You think it is normal for kids to drink something other than water or milk. You just do what everyone else is doning.
Really? No disrespect to the filmmaker, but arnt there bigger problems, (no pun)like idk poverty, abuse, drugs? at least there eating 1.3 million kids cant say that,

smh,,,, a double ffn negative. man, leave Mississippi alone
must be white
Don't they have some space behind the houses to grow few vegetables, or community gardens, little workout and socializing.
too much work
Lazy asses
Bro this is blacks you're talking about
Did I just hear that being "over weight" is over 300 pounds?? What?!
Rebecca Day overweight is any weight over what you are supposed to weigh..even if it only ten pounds.
well she said "over over weight"...but still an ignorant statement.
Honestly one of the biggest challenges of obesity in the states is the portion sizes. Most places serve just way way too much food for one person. If you're grow up being told to finish your plate, then portions that easily serve two can become a problem over time.
I love watching Obesity documentaries. It motivates me to eat more healthier.
oink oink
"We fry food everyday" lol.
Laziness causes this I'm sorry, Mississippi has large areas that can be farmed. Start with a small backyard garden with tomatoes, cucumers, cabbage, etc...our ancestors did it and so can we!
If the land is so good why don't they have gardens and grow their own veges?
wwilddjohnson01 super late, but government subsidies on corn, soybeans, wheat and such not on fruit or vegetables. it's literally not profitable to grow fruit or vegetables.
wwilddjohnson01 no money..take money to grow stuff..or..maybe they have no incentive now..and fast food.
The buffet at 1:30 is my personal idea of hell.
Interesting piece...Debbie Elliot always "dishes up" some good stuff :)
Sally Johnson and her son, they look so kind and wonderful.
Like in Africa being skinny means you are sick even if you are healthy !
Unhealthy food..fried..chicken..
collard greens cooked in salt and ham..pig feet..and more.

sometimes good to have that food you need fat in your body

217/160, stroke mode...force yourself to eat salads an workout.
Exactly! That scared me when she said what her numbers were! 😵😵
Save the fried chicken money and get a one way plane ticket out of there
I eat fried everything. Wow - that is a heart attack waiting to happen.
Well I can’t judge I’m the same way
Exactly
No time machine needed, i love the lady at 5:32 "no 'chine, needed"
"15 more minutes and we can go to the waffle house"....are you fucking serious?

Foolishness

"... 15 more minutes ... Give it all you got .. then we go to Waffle House..." Ya gotta love it - LOL. What a fun group.

What is a fried rib???
Jazzi Hill .........COMMON SENSE A RIB THAT IS FRIED
What about growing gardens and having market vendors with fresh vegetables and fruit
Kool-Aid Pickles??? I heard it first today, haha

Rep. Steve Holland: " EAT ME!". Priceless
And this is who we have in the office... the grammar and language used is horrible... Overall, I enjoy the message.
and then we go to Waffle House!
Hahhaha!!! Working your ass off so you can go eat waffles!
Interesting piece of journalism. I'd like to have known what hourly rates of pay were for those catering workers. And the young woman who\d had the stroke, could she cook? Do people there cook at home?
Great intro
Health is wealth! If you're unhealthy, nothing else matters! It's all about healthy choices, healthy portions, and excerse!! You must change your way of eating for life! If you want to loose weight, and keep it off!
These people don't care about their health
Mama said " that sheen git it "
Sound good as hell to me
Best part: 0:32 "Chicken....pork chop....fried ribs"
I love the part at 00:30 !!!!!!
Chicken and Waffles is fantastic though. (Just went to one last week)
So why dont they grow their own veg?
Starting a garden requires an initial cash outlay, with no immediate results. People who are on a really tight budget often just don't do it.
@@bramlintrent1145 It also requires them to get off their arses and do something for themselves.
It’s not the poverty and it’s not the income… it’s IQ.
Give it all you got! 15 more minutes and we can go to Waffle House!
America is not the most obese country in the world. It's #6 look it up
hodgrix and?
Most of the top obese countries in the world are Polynesian countries, many of which are technically US territories.
05:50 i don't understand her
I am a counniseur of fried chicken, t-bone is my favorite cut of steak and I love all kinds of seafood especially shellfish like oysters, shrimp, scallops, etc.

Soul food 💯💯💯💯👍👍🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😅 good eating Mississippi my hometown born rise love Don’t need to be fat fat kill you
"The juice of the pickle"
The southern fried chicken looks delicious! I may have to move there immediately!!
It is hard to change a culture. If all you se is fat people then you start to think it is normal. You think fast food is normal food. You think it is normal for kids to drink something other than water or milk. You just do what everyone else is doning.
that looks terrible --slave food--- I adore southern cooking! Done Properly!! only in AL
10:57 making Koolaid pickles
15 more min, then we go to the waffle house! EPIC..
4:10 pause video and shake phone
They should consider a vegan diet.
Ann Marie or a balanced one
Really? No disrespect to the filmmaker, but arnt there bigger problems, (no pun)like idk poverty, abuse, drugs? at least there eating 1.3 million kids cant say that,
That's a great point?...
T Davis are you being serious?
Adrian Brent Yes I am. Your right I don't even know why I was watching this? Much more serious stuff to peak my interest :)
here an fyi, Adrian, there are more obesity-related deaths than ALL the drug-related deaths put together. It's a HUGE problem, literally.
*and then we go for waffle house* famous last words
nothing wrong with slave food. I have had the best in many Cities. Busters chop in Atmore AL...THE BEST
Ignorance
The beginning of this video is racist lmao
