Soul Food On The Comeback!!!

I stopped eating Negro soul food about 10 years ago, as it is extremely bad for your health (your heart and your arteries will thank you for cutting out that swine), and I'm not really a fan of the taste of that so-called "scrap food."

However, people love to eat their junk food, particularly anything that's made from pork products. I'm not the nutritionist, but I believe pork is chump for you because it's so dense in fats.

Some people don't give a fly-F and they just keep eating pork anyway.

Well I've got good news for you, read on...

A group of university researchers in the United States announced Sunday that they had created what sounds like a nutritional holy grail: cloned pigs that make their own omega-3 fatty acids, potentially leading to bacon and pork chops that might help your heart.

For now, the benefits of the research are highly theoretical. Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to reduced incidence of heart disease, are primarily found in fish. No one knows whether the omega-3s would have the same effect if people ate them in pork, because the saturated fat in pork might cancel any benefits.

And government approval for such genetically modified foods is certain to face opposition from consumer groups.

Alexander Leaf, an emeritus professor of clinical medicine at Harvard, said he was confident that pork and other foods with omega-3s would eventually get to consumers and that consumers would be the better for it.

"People can continue to eat their junk food," Leaf said. "You won't have to change your diet, but you will be getting what you need."

For years, nutritionists have urged people to eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. But fish can be expensive, not everyone likes it and omega-3s are in greatest abundance in oily fish like tuna, which contains mercury. Not to mention the fact that fish tastes a WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN pig!
