Southern Menus Growing Healthier? See How Southern Menus Are Changing To Save Lives

Southern menus  are growing healthier to the dismay of traditional diners who have vowed to fight to the death their right to eat high calorie dishes they’ve grown (pardon the pun) to love. Despite the growing problem of obesity in this country, many traditionalist continue to take a stand.

Like many Confederate soldiers did long after the Civil War was won by the Union Army traditional southern food lovers fight this growing trend toward healthier eating.  More health officials continue to sound the alarm. The alarm continues to go out to restaurants, fast food establishments as well as consumers to watch their diets.

One area many health officials are zeroing on besides fast food establishments are traditional southern dishes that have a long reputation of “good eating”.  The comfort food had one drawback, the large amounts of butter, salt, fat and other calorie loaded ingredients that have health officials nervous.  Many southern recipes, restaurants and  menus are slowly hearing the warnings and finding creative ways to reduce the health risk – without losing the taste so many southern foods are famous for.

More southern soul food recipes are losing the large amounts of fat, butter and salt and using more natural ingredients. For example, herbs such as basil, bay leaves,  whole garlic, sea salt, kosher salt and chili peppers to name a few. More restaurants are testing these ingredients and more to find healthier alternatives their customers will like.  

Many traditional southern food lovers are skeptical of these changes and are fighting back with silent protest, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on what side you’re on) the health conscious consumer leads the battle. These are the younger upwardly mobile consumer who eat out more often. In addition, this health conscious market also includes retired professionals with plenty of money to spend who watch their diets like a hawk.

More southern restaurants, cookbooks and even food manufacturers are starting the see the hand writing on the wall and have started to follow this health conscious market. More have started to respond by adding healthy gourmet southern recipes for the upscale health enthusiast.  These recipes have fueled a trend toward lighter eating by including lighter ingredients cooked with quicker cooking methods. This results in a healthier eating experience.

All these sudden changes have taken the traditional southern food lover by surprise,  but many will come around sooner or later. Reason number one is because of the relentless research, work and marketing more southern restaurants, recipe books and food manufacturers are putting in to create better tasting recipes. Reason number two is the growing numbers that are slowly eliminating traditional ingredients from their menus. Reason number three is the health factor everyone will have to acknowledge voluntarily or by force with higher medical bills and health issues. Stay tuned.
