Look at that, datt was not accomplished in the past few weeks.  Starving people cannot be obese.  This time nah lang time bai.

GY 26.9 what them eating,junk food.

Good living bai, good living. 

and rock in hammock all day.

High carb bai...white flour. See if Forbes had his way all of them would be eating complex or better carbs. Slim pop...and girls .

Hey, flour bai no issues here.  BTW That cassava and rice flour was no better.

Plantain and eddoes. Sweet potatoes and yam better than white flour. Rice don't have the gluten.

we don't have roti for months,brown rice is daily for me,ground

provision twice weekly,lots of vegetables and fish.

Gluten, who ever hear that shyte in Burnham dayzz bai, all we hear was "glutten".  Alyuh avant garde!

Mitwah, the cap fits me. I do spend a considerable time in the hammock. However, I do spend time doing my own yard work So a, not overweigh. In fact. My wife thinks that I am too thin.

i am amazed how the cooking and eating habits in Guyana have changed. Lots of parents send their children with money to buy fast food. Many parents in and around Georgetown do not cook an evening meal, instead having a meal from a restauranT. Additionally, many do not participate in rigorous activities. Many children go to lessons after school so not very active. Added to this is the tv and computer games, etc. Within the school system, there was talk about improving in this area. For most govt. schools, Friday is set aside for these activities. However, many parents and students to see Friday as a free day so students do not attend school. Many have the attitude that if it is used in the US and Canada, then it must be good.ineould imagine that there are variations between children and adults in the rural areas and in the city and in surrounding areas.

wow the attitude of the people, looking over the fence  the grass will always look better  

And people complain about hard times.

Poor people are more likely to be obese.  In fact the highest rates of obesity in the USA are in the poorest states.

Nothing to boast of.

Priya musbe really poor.

Poor diet knuckle head. High carb...the path to poor health.

Cheap burgers and KFC.  These are accessible to the "upper class" in the 3rd world.  In Guyana poor eat creketae and kaka-belly, or vegetarian, not fattening.

In the years we spent in Guyana recently, we noticed  a drastic change in diet.

At a family where we stayed, teenage kids were having sugar biscuits and Pepsi for breakfast. Their family  grocery basket was loaded with two litre pop.They don't take lunch to school, but buy snacks at the school canteen.

In our younger days we ate  a lot of fruits for a snack, but now its chips or candy.

Bottled sugar water 'lemonade' is the worse for the people, but they drink it in large qualities.

I believe diabetes is also on the rise in Guyana.    

Generally, there seems to be parallel in  diet between First Nations People and some Guyanese. Junk and fast food is now the norm.

People don't take time for proper eating. Travelling in a  mini-bus, it would stop at a house that makes fry rice, or deep fried chicken. Everyone would buy some and eat it, while the bus is travelling.  

There seems to be too much starch in their diet, with not enough vegetables and salads.

Even though it was my normal diet decades ago, I had difficulty eating just curry chicken/duck with rice and  no veggys or salad.  

Salads is huge part of our diet and it was almost impossible to find lettuce  at Port Mourant or Rose Hall markets. Cucumbers and tomatoes were more easily available.

We drilled fresh water wells in Northern Uganda and it made a huge improvement in the people's health.

Guyana needs to design  a Healthy Food Guide with an implementation program, before serious health issues start emerging.          

Abie Americanize bai.

Priya is very rich.
