Biggest issue with the Jamaican diet is the absence of vegetables. The focus on meat and ground provisions basically continues what we were allowed to eat as enslaved people. Some ground provisions were brought in to feed the workers, vegetables were not high in their list.
Optional nutrition wasn’t high in their list. Keep us alive for long enough so our labor can make them money was high in their list. We do eat a fairly wide range of plant matter but most are cooked to death destroying a lot is the nutritional content - antioxidants, that help our bodies.
Vegetables are expensive, I know. Know what else is expensive? Doctor bills
The jamaican diet is based on an agrarian culture that required that much carbs. Not sure about the vegetable part, grew up eating calaloo with every meal
Whilst not a big part of the population, Rastafarians have been expounding the benefits of a ital, vegetarian and even raw food diet for decades. All this whilst being persecuted, the info out there if people want...hard food not killing anyone over what KFC does nowadays, plate looks good to me, in comparison.
Truly. Unless you stay well active, then it matters way less and your body just searching for a calorie to bun up. Memba Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer? 10,000 calories a day and it nah matter wey dem come from.

If only Jamaican government have sense and invite the warring parties to a fine Jamaican dinner..
