that's one of the reasons i can't fukk with the south, except florida. i got to have these things in my life. although they're not always the freshest but atleast here in nyc i could walk out my house and down the block and buy two guinep or a soursop.

soursop is another thing we can't get here (the fresh guanábana fruit i mean). tx made it illegal to import it commercially a few years back so you can't find it in produce at any store.
the closest you'll get is the guanábana puree by Goya in the freezer section at some michoacana's. houston has a huge carib population too... i dunno why they got us sufferin like this down here

i won't say their used too much...that's been our staple diet for centuries and the fact that our diet is low in fats and high in fish oils combats the high starch aspects.
i can see how maybe eating our starches plus americanized food could lead to some problems. i've honestly never seen many "obese" jamiacans that eat prrimarily yard food. supposedly they're all over New York...but the ones in my fam tend to be on the skinny to healthy side.

so you gone act like alot of yard food eating yardman ain't walking around with the skyjuice belly

alot of those foods were good for centuries as people were mostly working on the land and burning it off but as the caribbean economies has been changing from agricultural and labor to more sedentary occupations and more people driving the effects of those foods, just like soul food did with AAs, are catching up. the caribbean have a very high rate of obesity and diabetes and they're increasing.

Thank you for telling the truth. People like believing the nonsense they talk, so I didn't want to disturb their dream.

Black American food(from the old days), and other "peasant food" that most of the world eats, is actually good for you, it's the way they are cooked that mess things up. When you make a soup, people tend to add more salt or salty meats, to help with all the water taking away the taste. People also tend to eat too much starch in one meal, and unless you are moving consistently that is not a good way to eat. Nut & seeds need to be eaten because good fats are low in those diets, and these foods help give you what you need.

These foods are healthy, they just need to be executed better when cooking. I'm not with the thing now of telling people to stop eating these foods, just to eat small, less nutritious meals, because you need carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. Just eating proteins, and vegetables is not a good thing in the long run.
