JackDaAlienz:dey deceive yourself . The turkey and chicken we eat are mostly frozen ones imported from abroad and preserved with same chemical they use to preserve corpse. The beans you eat is preserved with sniper. The fruits are grown with a high amount of dangerous pesticides. Organic my foot 3 Likes |

faithfull18: I disagree with you... Check all Nigerian dishes across the board, you'll discover that 90% of our meal are balance diet if you have enough money to finance the full recipe. We have access to fresh veggies and fruits but our poverty index as a people is the reason for the abysmal proportions in our delicacies. 1 Like |

Nigerians, not everything is a contest that we start comparing. People are missing the point, the post is about our eating tendencies here and not a contest between African traditional foods vs Western foods. Yes, we're eating organic here, but too much oil, too much starch, late night heavy foods etc can also be unhealthy. 5 Likes |
Re: Unhealthy Eating Habits In Nigerian Culture by SIRTee15: 2:35pm On Dec 22, 2023 |
JackDaAlienz: All u wrote up there is emotional loyalty with unfounded theories. Oyinbos consume a lot of vegetables and fruits in the daily diet. They also don't over cook their meals this the nutrients are preserved. The issue of preservatives in foods is a problem in both naija and abroad. Most chickens and turkey consumed in Nigeria are from Asia where quality control is poor. They inject the birds with steroids so they grow faster and use chemicals to preserve them when transporting them to Africa. Same with rice, wheat and beans. Farmers used dangerous pesticides and chemical fertilizers when planting to ensure increase yield. Your claim that poor don't have cancer is a lie. They just dont get diagnosed on time and when they do they die very fast since they can't afford the expensive therapy. 5 Likes |

We still eat better and fresher food than the Western world, they eat direct from the can, almost all their foods are processed food, so let us be. |

JackDaAlienz:You are right Comrade but not entirely. Cancer does kill poor too. But how would will have enough data when they don't even have enough money to visit hospital when they are down. Cancer easily kills the paupers because they couldn't fight back tactically and effectively. 1 Like |

JackDaAlienz: I disagree with your submission. The oyinbos eat mostly leaves, in the name of salad. They have access to fruits and all types of foods because they are cheap. They have organizations monitoring chemicals on food. For instance, a friend in Florida told me, Florida government put caution on Nigerian oloyin beans, there claim was that it contains a chemical that can cause cancer, and we say their own too much. Meanwhile in Nigeria, nobody cares, fruits are even costly, chemicals on foods like beans, ponmo,chicken,to plantain and the list go on. 1 Like |
