Hello beautiful ladies, women, mothers, guys and men in the house.

All protocols observed!

I actually travel a lot. I am in my early thirties and can probably boost of having visited 17 states in Nigeria out of 36 states. I hope to cover more if my job will permit me. I have also been privileged to live amongst the hausas,yourbas, Ibos(my tribe), Benin and Idoma's. As a young boy I spent a lot of time helping out my mum in the kitchen when all my siblings left for boarding school in the early 90s. This made me saw how she prepared food for my Dad. Honestly I LEARN'T alot from her. Lol! Thanks to her although, I love her.

However,I discovered one particular thing from the environment I found myself that some of the families that I saw in this geographical regions don't pay enough attention to the food they prepare for their families.I mean; since we are what we eat and can die of food contamination or even poison. I once visited a family and the way the wife left the meat in a dirty basin with thousands of flies perching on the meat outside and this made me not to even drink the bottle of malt they offered me let alone eat there.
Though I did my best to enlighten some of the women the best i can if the opportunity permits me; I noticed that some of the reasons where based on:

1. Mindset
2.Environmental and cultural lifestyle
3.Poverty
4. Lack of proper home management skills
5. Lack of good nutrition literacy
6. Busy and dirty lifestyle
7.Improper upbringing etc.

So my question:do you pay attention to the food you eat, how it was prepared, cooked and served or you just prefer your plate to be filled up(Quantity)?

With all due respect please try to punctuate,it will make all other blunders look small
Thank you Sir

food should be taken in the right proportion...taking into consideration, quality and calorific value as required by the individual. not rulling out hygeine and other factors like purpose of the meal.

I don't really eat much.So for me, it will be nutrition/quality.
