"When poor Southern families created 'soul food,' all they had was produce from their humble backyard gardens. Soul food started as local, organic, and sustainable—terms we’re now more likely to associate with Trader Joe’s than Amy Ruth’s. Vegan food activist Bryant Terry wants to change those associations; to bring the growing movement of health and eco-conscious food back to its (low-income) roots."

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this information. Most people don't associate soul food with healthy food, but I think it's important that that type of association is made. Soul food, as they say, come from the heart, and I think that its return to health conscientiousness would bring things full circle. It is greatly needed in low income areas.
