Somali diet is fucked as well back home. Many Somalis are developing similar diseases to India.
We need the government to promote a nomadic-like and less carby diet since that's what our bodies are most used to

Maraq, hilib, caano geel, suqaar, misr etc
 
If there’s one thing I can’t blame them for, it’s over consuming butter chicken. That ish is amazing. Wow. It’s so good I only eat it 2-3 times a year because the taste lasts that long and it’s very dangerous to get addicted to it. But yeah their diet is full of heavy fat and ghee(some form of oil )

I was reading a random post recently about a colonial traveller who visited nomadic Somalis n how white their teeth were compared to other nations, and how much pride people took to keep brushing with twigs. Throw in modernity, war, and sugar/khat diets, it is has become normal for people to have rotting teeth and even teeth blackened by years of chewing khat. Even in the diaspora, it has become normal to see many Somali men have brown/black teeth due to khat. Mind you, the old nomadic Somalis weren’t not exposed to much of these modern problems; that said, it would seem Somalis have lost pride in many things. My grandfather had a six pack into his 60s and he would always tell me stories about he was the fastest man in his clan in his prime.nowadays, people take pride in wearing suits or go and talk about politics. Some diaspora raised negroes in the west look more dusty and have excessive dry skin more so than men from old nomadic pics. Then you have the hell that is skin bleaching (another Indian import) which is the greatest and lowest form of self hatred.

On a Positive, more and more gyms are opening back home and most cities are opening up football pitches. I think the next generation will be Healthier and consume less khat. My greatest worry is that lack of control of food items Somalia as well the medication/ skin bleaching products.

Despite Indian food being absolutely delicious, these guys eat a lot of vegetable oils and there is not enough protein in their vegaterian diet as well
