I was thinking it might have to do with black people having a shorter lifespan. The maps match up: https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/united_states/1990census_black.jpg
But you might be right, it may be diet-related. It's probably a whole bunch of factors

Shorter lifespan because of economic Injustice. Eating garbage food with zero healthcare or economic stability.
The economic situation is to this day so bad, that in recent year the avg life expectancy for white males has declined. For the first time in Western history; absent of a war.
And it's definitely worse for the African American community. The ethnic/economic heat maps will definitely overlay 1:1.

Interestingly though, Asian-Americans are expected to live a whole EIGHT years longer than American whites: https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/life-expectancy-by-re/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D

That's not altogether surprising. But the average +10% extra lifespan is higher than I would have guessed.
I can imagine at a couple of factors that affect this.
I'm not sure about the extent of correlation vs. causality.
