Food The diets of many black people who in live in the Diaspora are a direct result of slavery. The slave masters generally consumed the lean and fleshy parts of farm animals, and left the scraps for the slaves. Enslaved Africans were forced to incorporate those leftovers – such as chitterlings, ox tails, tripe, pigs feet, cow foot, and other bad foods – into their daily meals. Those unhealthy foods are still part of the diets of many black people today. They are harmful to the body and are the cause of chronic illnesses that plague our communities including strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Source: Pbs.org
