Soul Food is a movie about a big, humongous, black grandmother, aptly named Big Mama. Big Mama demonstrates her love by feeding herself and her offspring enormous amounts of pig lard. Then - get this - Big Mama’s arteries are so clogged, they gotta amputate her arm… Right, OK, whatever, leg. Then, she dies from a heart attack or another stroke or somethin’. And what does the family do after she dies? They get together for a Sunday dinner and eat the same food that just killed Big Mama. The *same* food. They didn’t learn a lesson, nobody went on a diet, and that’s the end of the movie.
