Hillbilly Diet
A new study seems to show a traditional hillbilly diet is much better for you than so-called 'health foods'.
The food with the heaviest concentration of antioxidants turned out to be the "small red bean," according to the study, followed by "low bush" — or wild — blueberries, red kidney beans and pinto beans.
They soundly beat the competition, which included ballyhooed health foods such as carrots, broccoli and oat bran.
Huckleberries and pinto beans. Good and good for you. Rounding out the list were many other common hillbilly foods: red delicious apples, red-leaf lettuce, pecans, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves and prunes.
But not artichokes. No real hillbilly eats artichokes....or even knows what one is for that matter.
Not that we're adverse to adding new foods. I bet this would be real popular down home. Of course, we'd have to figure out a way to batter dip it and deep fat fry it.
Heh.

I dunno. Pork fat and chocolate probably go together like beer and cake.

You never know, might be good. Pork fat is pretty sweet.
