Two things can be true at the same time. I lived in a developing country for two years and was not that active and I dropped fifteen pounds my first six months because I was not eating any processed food
“FYI, Jamaican food is soul food too” sparks violent debate on Twitter

Yea but look at Chicago. They arguably have the most unhealthy cuisine in America and they aren’t nearly as fat as the south

So he doesn’t get in his car to check the mail then ?
I follow that FB page and seen the thread grow from the jump. The people that were including Jamaican food with Soul Food were mostly African American lol
Jamaican food gets way too much props from everyone, AA’s included, for them to need to appropriate anyone else in the diaspora. Truth be told, their food probably gets the most love in the diaspora overall.

Like others said, this is a "chronically online" take.
I grew up in NYC and I literally never met a Jamaican who referred to their food as "Soul food" nor ever tried to make that comparison. It was just never an actual talking point by anyone. We respected each other's foods and their differences.
This whole discussion is literally this meme.
