Happy to take on this. Posting my comments in a few days. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 04:25, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Fairly well-written, only a few comments:

General

• Two dablinks need to be fixed [1]
  •  Done one, as far as I can tell there are no links to "Southern fried chicken" from this page. Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 12:10, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
    • Oh, that one is listed as a dablink at the top, no issues. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 12:19, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• Say either "African American" or "African-American" throughout the article.
  •  Done Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 12:10, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• Per WP:MOSLEAD, the lead should be three good paras long covering all the major aspects of the article.
  •  Done Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 23:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
• Will give a thorough read once done.
• The lead reads much better now, but the variants and racial stereotypes should also be mentioned, add a few lines.

  •  Done Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 11:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

  •  Done Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 11:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Description

• Can this section be expanded? Are there no other sources that can describe its composition and impact on health?
  •  Done Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 00:17, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Preparation

• The section appears a bit choppy, please combine paras.
  •  Done Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 00:35, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Sainsf, I've hopefully resolved these issues now. Let me know if there's anything still withstanding that needs to be fixed. Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 11:33, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
