Southerner as well. I think the last time I had a real biscuit (not the cottage cheese and green onion ones I make a few times a month) and gravy was close to Christmas. My husband was craving it. It was good. That, I think, is where they miss the point entirely. It is about moderation. Personally I hate chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, etc... I also hate, hate sugar tea. It has the consistency of syrup. But you know that's what great about eating and drinking like a human. You can have what you want, even if it's "bad" so long as you use moderation. What pisses me off about posts like this is NOT the type or kind of food they list but the concept and idea that you can't eat or enjoy food AND also care about your body. It's just the attitude and the mentality.  You want your sweet tea? Enjoy it. You're human, you have every right to because you don't drink a fucking gallon every day like a fucking obeast.
