Deep fried everything, from bacon to candy bars to Twinkies which are packaged cream-filled cakes. Is it any wonder that the typical male in the southeastern United States has diabetes and has had three heart attacks by the time he’s 50? I might be exaggerating a little about the number of heart attacks, but not by much.

Here in the city people tend to be educated, and they tend to take care of themselves, but people from the outlying areas really do dunk almost anything into batter and deep fry it. If they do prepare vegetables they dump a bunch of bacon or other fatty pork in with it. Really healthy, right? Oh, they eat boiled peanuts here too. I’ve never dared to try them. Where I come from seafood, especially lobster, is popular. Blueberries too. Now I bet you can guess where I come from.
