In this blog we are to post comments that other writer have on our favorite meal. so let start off with fried chicken. at furtherhealth.com it talks about how the Tran fat from the chicken can clog up your arteries. here a quote;

"So the next time that you feel like tucking into a portion of fried chicken at your favourite fast food outlet, think of those trans fats circulating in your blood until they find a place to land on one of your artery walls, slowly clogging up your arteries".

The news that i found on mash potatoes was much better. in an article call "the power of the poptatoes" they talk about the benefit that the poptatoes gives, here a quote;

"Potatoes are not only fat- and cholesterol-free, they are also high in vitamin C and potassium. And with the skin, they're an excellent source of fiber".

now the next comment I found is on gravy, cbc.ca talks about some risks that may be found in gravy. here some of what they said:

"Consumers should avoid certain brands of chili and beef gravy because of a possible botulism risk, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has advised".

salt and pepper were the next two i research. No surprised that too much salt is not good for you. Here what the article “cutting salt ‘reduces heart risk’ ” said:

"Experts already know that too much salt can raise blood pressure and high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack and stroke".

however, what was surprising to me was finding out the black pepper is good for you. here what the article "Black Pepper: More than Just Salt's Buddy" said:

"The benefits of black pepper exceed far beyond its ability to add great taste to a wide variety of dishes. Some scientific studies suggest that black pepper may have a number of important health benefits. One of the most important benefits is the abilty to improve digestion and aid the digestive system and intestines".

from this research it seems like the only thing that's good from me is the mash poptatoes and black pepper, hmm, makes me think twice
