How can Southerners give up delicious staples fried chicken, fried seafood, fried green tomatoes and cornbread slathered in butter?

When you pry it from my cold, dead, greasy fingers, THAT'S when.

Damn Yankee busybodies!

Why don't you go to New York and worry about the new strain of AIDS the buggers have managed to concoct?

Aggh! These people make me sick.

The sad thing is, I could probably bench press any of these pencil-necked fools, even though I DON'T eat what THEY think I should!

The FOOD and grandchildren are the two things that keep us in the South.

When we lived in California, a friend that was from Chattanooga taught me how to make the best fried chicken.

We now live in Tenn. and my 20 yo granddaughter wanted me to teach her how to cook the chicken so that she could be a real Southern woman. That was double pleasure.

Well, I can always amuse myself by reading yankee-bashing posts but the CDC is based in Atlanta so I don't think they are New York yankee types.

I came from a very liberal state but it should be noted that the South was a Democratic stronghold for some time.

I take it you are from Texas and so you have a strong Republican state. I lived for a while in a Jacksonville suburb and Florida was a strong GOP state.

I vividly remember my friends from other Southern states being so COnservative but they were all Democrats. It drove me nuts. Luckily, a lot has changed in the last 15 years and the South is in GOP hands.

LOok on the bright side, at least you don't have to live in the North, LOL!

Arioch7 out!

Amen! They also conveniently ignore the fact that Yankees surely don't eat 'healthy' all the time either. How about hot dogs, philly cheesesteaks, so on? You are right too - I am more than willing to take on any Yankee woman in a cooking contest AND a fitness one :)
