Native Foods

While I am not a Native American, I believe it would be a good thing to get rid of fry bread. The redevelopment of native foods seems to be a priority or it ought to be a priority for native peoples, particularly with plants. For me, mammals, especially whales, becomes a much dicier situation.

"One item that won't be featured on her show is fry bread, the puffy circles of deep-fried dough that serve as a base for tacos or are eaten simply with sugar or honey and are beloved on Indian reservations. That bread is fast becoming a symbol of all that is wrong with the American Indian diet, which evolved from food that was hunted, grown or gathered to one that relied on federal government commodities, including white flour and lard - the two ingredients in fry bread."
