White bread with your Soul Food

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Soul Food" isn't the healthiest of food choices. I'm one of those African-Americans who doesn't really eat it. I don't do chitlins or pig feet (I really don't eat much of any pork). I've never had greens. I won't eat greens with any salt pork or any pork in it. I'll eat cornbread, I'll eat pound cake (from scratch, sparingly), and I'll eat black-eyed peas and green beans sans pork fat. I think so called "Soul Food" is the main reason diabetes is so prevalent in the Black community. I noticed today that my parents brought some barbeque from bar-b-que joint. I noticed the meal came with a slice of white bread. I shun the sight of sliced white bread. Switching over to wheat bread is a simple and healthier choice. A simple change. A step toward healthier eating.
