He is right. I’m fat and American. I take full responsibility and I respect his honesty. I will do better today. I can cook and I rather cook. I’m from Alabama and we can do better.
Period.
I wish you personally all the best in your health journey, I live in Alabama also and it just came out that Alabama is one of the most unhealthy states in America and where I live, almost everyone is obese, women, men and children! I've never seen people wait in lines out the parking lot and into the street at fast food restaurants like churches chicken, McDonald's, burger King, captain D's seafood etc. It's insanity and it really doesn't look good for the future of my people here where I live.
😂'dem look like a pyramid!!!
@@lhu6971 one thing about a pyramid body it can be changed. Not hurting anyone at all! I heard him but I had plenty of Caribbean men in my life 😂 they like it too.
@@Friday779 I was a yo-yo dieter most of my life. I developed thyroid disease and thing's really got out of hand with Grave's Disease. I'm a Big woman but not insecure about it. Just need to drop pound's for health. 😌
My grandma made it to 106 years of age in Kingston Jamaica and would laugh after this generation.
This soooo true! I agree.
I had to laugh at the “look like a pyramid” part😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or a Walking, bleach Bottle.
It’s all about having standards and boundaries. If I’m out and can’t eat- I fast. If I must have something, I’ll buy fruit or nuts.
I do as well.
I do too.
That's exactly what I do now.
same here
He told no lies! I’ll be 63 this year and I can run circles around many younger women. I’m not perfect but I certainly know how much I eat and what I eat effect my health. I exercise, take care of my skin and my spirituality. I keep my mind on decent good things and treat people right, I take care of me! If people do not get their minds and bodies right...they will suffer serious consequences. Eat better, drink water, move your bodies, cook at home! do better! 🙏
Absolutely I’m 62 and agree with everything you said my sentiments exactly 👍🏽
Perfect. I miss elders like this that speak facts over feelings.
The US screwing with the food supply since the 1970s is responsible for that.
I grew up in carribbean. And back in the 70s people did not eat meat every day like they do today. It was a Sunday thing. But this SAD (standard American diet) is "sad" cause it's full of chemicals and poisons.
Meat is not the problem too much sugar, baked products, carbohydrates, oils in fried foods, dairy, fats and not enough vegetables is the problem. If you eat meat and veggies and less carbs and sugar you will actually be slim.
The problem is not the meat but the diet with too much processed flours , oils and sugars . Cut down in bread , confectionery, sweets and deep fried food and your health will. Improve massively .
Meat doesn't make you fat, though.
You're right Muta but wrong about how the women are big and fat eith false eyelashes,false nails ,false hsir and dont have a man.Some of these men now come just like the fast food.......VERY TOXIC.
8@@reneeparsons
Once the US introduces corn syrup it was over. I stopped eating and drinking anything with corn syrup and lose 20lbs in a month. I stopped drinking liquor and losses another 10ilbs.
Yep you’re right. Cut out liquor, sugar, soda, bread, fast food. I changed my diet, increased my water intake & went from 180 to 164 with no exercise. Weight loss is 80% diet
@@Risha-ReneWow congratulations!
I haven’t had a soda in 40 years 😮
Beautiful, continued success.
@@tracywalker244 and if you did take a sip, the sweetness would race to the top of your head.
He’s correct. As a 29 year old black woman, I’m working on my weight now. I’ve lost 20 pounds but still have 60 to go. Discipline with food is harder than working out. Working out is great but means almost nothing if I can’t control the food. Praying to God to help me through it because I know I’m fat. And it’s strange because everytime I mention losing weight to other black people they tell me I shouldn’t lose it.
Black people seem to be obsessed with bein thick and will put down thinner women, (especially other black women). Then you overhear them saying they wanna lose weight. Maybe they just don't have the discipline to do what you're already doing, so don't listen to them. Keep up the good work doing what's right for your health and confidence.
Discipline is difficult part. An Asian coworker informed me to drink a glass of plain tea or water before eating. It will fill belly up some.Try giving up sugary drinks altogether.
It’s the Burger King and kentuky for me
Great, but stop letting these black men call you out. They never mention how fat and sick black men are. They are always talking about black women yet we can’t say crap about them. Women are out here working on it…he needs to be talking to his brethren.
May God help you beloved. You can do it. ❤❤
This gentleman makes so much sense. Some women even glorify being overweight. AKA LIZZO! Don’t call it thick, call it unfit!
And mock those who are slender 😂
@mtl.digital_hub Slender people walking around unhealthy too. Having all kinds of heart issues, and diabetes. Diet is very important. Some young grown men put all kinds of junk in their body. Eating ramen noodles, pizza, and cereal while playing game consoles or online games. Absolutely ridiculous.
And the notion that black men like their women thick (fat) so we should put some meat on our bones. Nonsense! We need to keep our bodies healthy and at an ideal weight. Don't get me started on the windshield wiper false lashes, batty rider shorts and see-through clothes. Our people and culture needs an awakening!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are thin folks who have heart disease and high blood pressure as well. Not just over weight folks.
I work out every other day in a gym and do yoga every day, I eat vegetable soup, fruits and salad and drink water, I’m 54 and my body look better than most young women and my skin is clear, I’m limber and strong and it shows, I’m 5’4 a size 6 and 140 lbs.
Same 51 years 5'4 135lbs i eat mostly fruits vegetables and green leafy foods with daily nuts and seeds. I have dewy skin , slim trim locs in my hair...chile and yes the youth look sickly to comparison to me.😢
Great diet, but you should not be doing any exercises that summon false gods, including one known to cause evil. Moreover, at your height, you should weigh about 115 lbs. at most, not 140.
His observation is spot on. Ppl listen. The fast food is making us sick
This is true! I consider myself a hybrid because I’m too Jamaican to be Canadian.
I still cook from scratch and some people look at me weird or with envy because I can cook.
I used to get laughed at for walking home from school. Now, look most of the girls I went to school with are overweight.
Welcome to Canada.
You are wise
@@d.e.c1609 I have to clarify, I’m Canadian Jamaican (born in Canada), but the way I was raised was culturally old school. My dad didn’t get down with leftovers lol 😂. My parents and granny RIP taught me how to cook etc.
It’s sad and the numbers are increasing. There are so many people that can’t cook.
@@Junjo11 thank you 😊
@indigoGoddess7 Oh, good. 😂 yeah, leftovers suck. It's not only sad, it's the obesity.
I laughed so hard at this! He is right though. Many years ago I was pushing size 22 and I knew it needed to change. I dropped all the weight. My diet isn't perfect but I do enough so that I keep my weight in check. Weight train 5 days a week. This man is correct
Same. The sugary drinks are the worse! I tell ppl replace sodas with water or green tea and still eat the same, you will see a weight drop so quick.
The title alone is hysterical. 😂😂😂😅😅 They're poisoning our foods with preservatives that destroy our digestive system and they're high in sugar and salt. We're not even gonna get into the soy.
What disappoints me is the line of children you'll see outside ANY Chicken shop after school here in the UK everyday and the junk food they are consuming in general so often.
How awful! Fortunately here we don't see that 🙏🏼
Why don't dem cook a healthy Lunch for the kids in day cares & schools?
@@SabiArtStory777it's the PARENTS responsibility to give their children healthy food.
@@EightFrancs Of course! Who else? But at lunchtime their are normally not around in kindergarten or school, and have to care for good food outside home. It's better to organize a healthy lunch instead of giving them money to spend at a chicken shop.
Thank you for my laugh today, I really needed it. ❤
So true. I grew up with not being allowed to eat fast food. Fast food is done by design, chemicals, gmos, preservatives. We are beautiful, we don’t need falsehood.
I totally agree with you and it is deliberate
Absolutely agree. When we follow them, we become like them. Come on folks, pick it up, take your life in your hands.
This is the result of "human progress"; industry, automation, and convenience. This happens to all indigenous people. Our environments of origin required physical activity. That's why people that still live there look like we used to look.😊
Fast food, not working out, not drinking water😮 I am proud to be my age and to be petite and in shape. I dont wanna look that EVER! No no sir!!! My kids are taught this too! How can you have a full life and you are not taking care of your body ? You're not " thick" or " big boned", youre overweight, fat ! 🎉
call a thing a thing!!!!!
I’m about slow food now. Take time and if it is not there, I have to wait to eat. I love cooking nowadays, with some reggae music in my ears.
"Ami kitchen me deh, acook and pleh reggae... it call help me cook mi Sunday dish!"🎶
I just got back from Jamaica, and it seems like the majority of Jamaicans have a belly in front of them. I walked past the Burger King on the hip strip in Mobay every morning, and it was packed with people. Every fast food place i walked past was busy all the hours of the day, and no one seemed to drink water. Most people were drinking soda
I would have to disagree. Jamaica has fat people but nothing in comparison to America. Jamaicans walk everywhere as a form of transportation... Hrs of walking daily contributes to calorie burning. That in itself would prove this argument to be inaccurate. Burger King and fast food restaurants are rarely found in the country sides of Jamaica where the locals live.
McDonald's and Burger King, etc, are mainly placed around and close to tourist areas... since they appeal more so to tourists vs. born and raised Jamaicans. Fast food is American culture and not the culture of the locals. If offered a Jamaican plate of curry goat or a meal at McDonald's, they would prefer their own cultural foods.
@@velvetmonroe9441I sure do hope that this is the case 😢
@velvetmonroe9441 you are saying the opposite of what Muta is saying. I rather trust Muta, as I see the same bs in other Caribbean islands. Also, I don't live in Jamaica, but I see nuff Jamaican videos. I can tell what Muta is saying is true by looking at the people in those same videos. Those who are honest with themselves know how Caribbean people like to follow American fashion. As long as they have money in their hands, they will eat at KFC...
@@Ahijahprince You listen to Muta but somehow missed him referencing to a particular place of Jamaica… Montego Bay. Montego Bay is a tourist area and most people there consume the food around them. That’s why I stated the country areas of Jamaica is a little different .It’s always people who’s never been no where or never visited that have the debates. You been to a few islands and you been to them all🙄… I suppose the Dominican Republic is just like Jamaica as well 😩🤣 And Yes listen to Muta he’s a brilliant man but actually listen though… Don’t just take pieces out😂
@@velvetmonroe9441. Are you saying what Muta is saying isn't true? Do you really know Jamaica? Almost every main town in every parish has some type of fast food chain, whether foreign or local, that both urban and rural folk think is a personal and family treat to patronize. Increasingly, rural folk see fast food establishments as normal, especially the small Jamaican restaurant version. These small, local cook shops and restaurants are patterned off of a fast food and convenience food model and the menus and ingredients are almost as unhealthy as those used in their larger and foreign owned competitors.
What you failed to absorb from Muta's message is his observation and warning that Jamaican culture and diet have deteriorated and that this is manifesting in the people as complacency, obesity and ill health.
The deterioration is also evident in the many small fast food type local restaurants, supermarkets, petrol station convenience delis etc meeting Jamaicans' increasing demand for the very same unnatural toxic altered foods that are killing us at the big fast food chains.
Jamaicans eat for taste and 'belly full' more than we eat for health and we follow the lead of every latest negative trend that is the worst of foreign lifestyles and America. These trends are reflected in the types of food establishments that Jamaicans constantly patronize.
Whether at a big international fast food franchise or a local fast food chain or small restaurant, Jamaicans demand and spend hard earned money on toxic oils that fry our daily dose of chicken crispy just the way we like it, with a pool of artificially flavoured oily gravy to bathe an excessive mountain of starch washed down with a gut busting gallon of sugary fizz. Jamaicans know that this type of diet will result in obesity and disease but most of us do not really care. We are fully invested in instant gratification. and in the deceptive high salt, high sugar, lab chemical tastes more than in natural tastes. We nsist on feeding those unhealthy tastes because our culture encourages irresponsible behaviour.
There used to be the argument that junk and unnatural foods are the cheapest and that is why most Jamaicans eat them. However, in today's Jamaica people dedicate large proportions of their income to fast foods because they are addicted to the artificial substances in these non-foods as well as addicted to the profiling and pretense of 'I have arrived'' or 'I can afford it'. These addictions trick many into spending substantially on the lowest quality of food while claiming that better food is too expensive or that we do not have enough time to prepare healthy meals for ourselves and our families. All of those mentalities are part of modern day urban culture and habits in Jamaica that have crept into nearly every corner of the country. So please do not try to make it seem like Muta doesn't know what he is talking about. Maybe to you it seems like most Jamaicans live like they are in a health paradise. We live in a place where that can be true, yes, but the majority of us do not act like it. Jamaicans' love love LOVE, almost worship, foreign brands and lifestyles. Our belief that the worst foods for our health are the tastiest and best family treats are going to keep making us sick and will kill us until we take responsibility for what we put in our own mouths. Wayward women are a huge part of the problem. They commit many abominations with their mouths and neglect of their natural care giver roles. They harm and neglect themselves so imagine what they are teaching their children. Men should also take responsibility for the health and culture of their own people. If our elders did not fail in their teachings and example then the norm would be health, self sufficiency and intelligent self preservation.
Fast food has affected the black American community severely with obesity and other health issues and now Jamaicans will suffer also. I was in Rome last year and I could not find one KFC, McDonald's or Burger king. I was so pleased to see that these cancer and diabetes joints were not in operation, and the people were generally fit with good body size.
Yes, American fastfood is loosing control in many European countries, I' am really glad about 🌻✌🏻😎
@@SabiArtStory777 no sensible government should allow these fast food restaurants to operate because there is enough research to show that they are bad for one's health. But we all know that money talks and politicians are easily bought.
@@kumtekneon3655 That's sad but true!
Americans are overweight period. Its not just a black woman thing.
Wow 😮
Yes it's the processed foods. It's not real. Stay active people. I never slowed down with the work that I do and I remember one lady said to me very smugly "oh my that's more work than I'm ever going to do!" She thought that she was shaming me for working hard but she made me realize how lucky I am. I will keep moving. I know women who's joints are shot and they are not even old yet.
I went vegetarian, some 50+ years ago. I got harrased, shamed, embarrassed and pointed out. Now when I run into these same people (the ones that are stilll living) they ask me all kinds of health related questions and what should they do. I say you'll figure it out. I used to share information then I had to listen to their dillusion and denial. Please. I don't have any miracle wand that will cure or change anything. Figure it out. Begin where you are and figure it out.
@@pjj.5649Not your problem and you are correct. Let them do the math as the saying goes.
Man I left fast food I’m working on my weight I don’t wanna be fat and unhealthy any longer
It’s not just fast food restaurants…it’s the concentrated carbohydrates that is now included in almost EVERY food and DRINK products, most of which are now being imported, available in the stores and shops. All the carb loaded rice and pasta found in every box food meal is just as impactful as the fried animal fast food restaurants.
If you’re overeating and overindulging everyday all day you are most likely going to be overweight or obese and yes it’s unfortunate what they do to foods. That’s why it may be best to stick to the outside lanes of the grocery store. Veggies, fruits, meats, dairy, etc, processed food is designed to be addicting
@@kaylabean3693 even if you meant well, I think a lot of people won’t care about anything you say after your first half a sentence that you led out with, because it implies that you believe that the TRUE cause of obesity is due to persons “OVEREATING AND OVERINDULGING ALL DAY”. Btw, the outside lanes in grocery stores is typically also where the bakery and fried food stations are located…for persons who live where such luxuries are available to begin with. For the context of Jamaica, where most of the processed foods are being imported, and ground provisions are often scarce and very expensive, there is obviously opportunity for the government to enact policies to better facilitate more healthful dietary habits for residents, since the oldest and most popular policies of shaming and patronizing, have not worked anywhere on earth, not in all the centuries they has been practiced by those who have a preference for using such tactic. Why is a strategy that has NEVER worked still so popular, IF effectiveness is supposedly the goal?
These fast food businesses are mainly found in poor neighbourhoods, which is an irony itself….
The other day I decided to buy a Mac Donald's breakfast and all I could taste is the salt😢
Oh Please! go downtown to the business places and there are many fast food places. You must live in a cave. President Clinton confessed that he ate too much fast food.
I bought a juicer and I started my exercise routine. I limit fast food to once a month and I mainly cook at home. I still have a long way to go to lose this fupa.
You can do it keep up the good work 🎉
@@tracywalker244 Thank you so much for the motivation! 🏃🏿♀️ 💨 🎉
The key point is you started. There is an African proverb: "If you want to see how a thing wiil end, look at the beginning."
Keep going forward.
Many, Many thanks! ⭐@@pjj.5649
I am so glad he is speaking on this. I didn't realize how many young people simply cannot cook anything. The amount of processed fast food consumed is insane. It's crazy when you hear someone say: "I only had Kentucky fried chicken - the small 3-piece dinner, a large soda, fries, and 3 Dunkin Donuts" You think? We have been so normalized to eating this garbage we start cherry picking what is good, so-called healthy. Garbage is garbage no matter the packaging.
Another thing, these processed fast foods have chemicals to make it addictive so you become lifelong brand customers. It was the same with cigarettes. After you eat the crap, you are not satisfied because the saiety hormones, leptin that keeps you from overeating have been shut down and the eat more hormone, ghrelin is turned on.
People have to realize, the food industries/corporations are about profit any way they can get it. They are not about your health. The next step is medication for a list of chronic diseases. Come on folks, take your life in your hands. Look at it this way, the word HEAL is hidden inside the word HEALTHY. Wishing everyone a change of thinking, if you put the right healing things in your mind, your body will follow. All the best!!!👌🏽✊🏽💪🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Exactly, profits over people. Even slender people have high rates of cholesterol as well as obese people.
So… I came to Jamaica trying to find… blue dras, Congo peas soup, rundown, roast yam, roast fish, etc. can’t find nothing… they don’t know these foods. The older heads want to teach the younger ones but they don’t care to learn
@@winningvictory cooking needs to be taught in school we can't expect our young people to know if we don't teach them

Then go to school and learn to how to cook fuckery!

@@naychagirl2389yup, this
This man speaks the truth.
We look like pyramids. 😅 Thank you sir. No more pyramid food for me. You have insulted me and honored me at the same time. We must open our eyes. Thank you.
I have a Jamaican woman telling me as of this writing that being big is part of her culture. Her sisters and friends are all obese. In fact, they sabotaged her attempt to diet last year by telling her she needed to eat more, that she looked sick, and black men don’t like skinny women-even though she was nowhere near skinny and still had a gut.
I have a guy friend originally from Detroit. He told me the guys there have been brainwashed into being attracted to big girls.
You are right about it, just look at the pastors and gospel singers as example. In europe i see a lot of africans women overweight, they eat like crazy. One day i saw one in the train, with difficulty walking, she had to lean on me because she couldn't walk a step further, i was mad and let her know. One day one asked me if i was sick because i lost weight, in their mind set an healthy person is a fat person.
I agree with you 100%. Fast food and lack of exercise is the cause of all the obesity among black women. Just last night I asked my daughter if she is using her gym membership, she said she doesn't go because she doesn't want to sweat out her hair style. Here I was thinking I was setting a good example by eating healthy and exercising regularly, but apparently not.
This is an unfortunate fact. Issues with wet hair does influence black women when it comes to exercise. I'm admittedly jealous of ppl for whom getting their hair wet doesn't require planning.
Better go natural!
@@celiameaux7880 Many natural styles get ruined with sweat (e.g., stretched styles like a twist out).
You can’t beat good, home cooked food. Let’s not overlook the health concerns down the line - diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc it’s something we will live to regret if we don’t educate ourselves, families and children. Your body and mind is your temple keep it healthy!
KING Muta. This man see beyond the veils,thank you KING.
So true. I have been saying the same thing that our women are not shapely anymore because we have gotten obese and sick.
our people too comfortable with this European way of living.
Edit: No way so many people dont know America has European orgin lmao and all yall saying “take responsibility”, we did not ask to be invaded and manipulated into this way of living please do some more thinking
..That's a BAD,Stupid,IDIOTIC excuse.. Each is responsible fi Self .No European Can Mek Smaddy Eat a Food eat certain Food ..
It's sheer laziness by Millennials.Its Jamaicans once again following "fashion" ( US) .
It's not European. It's American.
It's a lot to do with laziness ! Too lazy to cook a healthy meal so take the high fat high calories fast food option. Too lazy to walk so drive everywhere. Too lazy to enjoy nature so opt for a life lazing on the sofa ,you get my drift.
Fast food has nothing to do with Europe. It’s laziness
@@eyeandisinclair821 🎯
This man speaks truth. I was in Jamaica a week ago and was appalled when a family member reached for a box of processed macaroni and powdered cheese to prepare for her children. While there were other healthy alternatives were available. In consuming these highly processed foods we are eating to die. Time for change!
Come on now 🙄you was really appalled of some Mac and cheese. And if you did your research Powdered Mac is 4x healthier than homemade and they do have organic versions. You might want to learn from your family
@@tyrekedadon7910 I said what I said. You're entitled to your opinion as I am to mine.
@@repottedchangeforbetter5926 Please don't respond I'm talking to my UA-cam community. Anyone crying about kids eating mac and cheese is to picky to communicate. BTW I think you just made up the story to secretly talk about yourself
@@tyrekedadon7910 What research says that? Share the name or where it can be found. Even if researchers claim that GMO and 'fake organic' pastas are healthy, your INTELLIGENCE should tell you that chemical laboratory imitations of food and genetically modified non-foods cannot be the same as fresh, natural, nutritious, healing food. Have you read the labels and long list of artificial ingredients in these pastas and fake cheese products? People make their own pastas all the time from ingredients that they can see, inspect and know. But that is for people who care enough to make the extra effort and do not offer themselves and their children as an easy sacrifice to the beastly system. What a tragedy for children when their mothers, fathers, elders and caregivers don't care about their health or are giddy-headed, poorly socialized and lazy.
He told no lies !! We have to do better!!
Serious words of Wisdom from the Elder. Blessed 🙏 ✌️
I was surprised to how crowded the fast food places are when I visited Jamaica.
We all have some work to do and this one is for ANYONE that tries to argue that their poor diet is not to blame for their lack of energy or attraction. Can't put trash in your body and then get mad when people say you are unattractive or unappealing if not outright disgusting. Trash is smelly, unhealthy, and not pleasant to be around.
Respect this
"Tell It Like It Is"
commentary!
Our folks are totally in denial. I work with numerous black female nurses who are all obese and supposedly and contradictorily, they are called “health professionals”….. Alas!
Agreed. But lets not sleep on the fact than one can be unhealthy a not fat. Lets concentrate on good physical and mental health. We have young Black males with erectile issues. Men having prostate issues younger than in previous times. Im seeing more men who are not neccesarily fat overall but look pregnant. Whats going on? The focus has to be deeper than attractiveness. I recently comforted a very lovely attractive slim niece upon a second miscarriage. Whats really going on while we focus on attractiveness over real health?
@@naychagirl2389 Points are well taken!
@@naychagirl2389But this video is talking about overweight black women not those things you mentioned. Don't bring up other topics in attempt to brush this under the rug.
It’s true and I’m so glad he said Jamaican women too. I was shocked going to Jamaica years ago and seeing how big local women was looking. Fast food is the devil for black people. I use to eat Burger King often when I had to work in the office but now that I work from home, I’m more disciplined and cook myself.
And you are better for it my friend. Congratulations
You are perfectly right it's very disgusting, these women are making a fool out of themselves, sometimes I wonder ,but the people suffer for lack of knowledge
I will say, some of us do try to talk to our family or peers. And I only do that when asked and even then it’s a whole big ordeal so I stopped saying something long ago. I don’t know when I’m going to leave this planet but I would like to be able to do things that I enjoy while here. Hiking, swimming, dancing and running
I went to Canada and the USA for a holiday and I refused to eat any of the food , (with the exception of Dunkin’ donuts one time ) this was before fast food got really bad.
Same in PR DR..i was in Jamica eating on the food from the land.I saw young jamican eating chips and soda I was loving the fruits...PR same thing.We need to get back to nature...Fast food killing thevworld
I agree with everything he said. I eat clean and workout daily and people always make comments about my "healthy" food I make and bring from home when I'm at work. If you look aound, there are a lot of overweight people and they don't realize not cooking, eating fast and processed food is what has made them fat. I love meal prepping and making healthy food for my husband. Plus, we save a lot of money by eating at home. Let's not get into the physical and mental issues the stress of being unhealthy can cause. Kudos to folks taking the first step and making strides to be healthier.
He’s speaking truth!
Kfc in Jamaica is a high class delicacy. 😂...They have no idea and if you tell anyone anything dem cuss yuh and call yuh mod.
Let them learn the hard way . I gave up on those idiots long ago.
Delicacy? 😂🤢🤮
The people i know who eat alot of kfc are actually not that fat, the pizza and burger lovers are very fat.
Take the foreign fast foods out of the equation for a second. In Jamaica, we are not as active as our grand- and great-grandparents were; we drive or take taxis everywhere. That, coupled with a diet that is high in carbs, sugar, fat and salt, only spells disaster. If we really want to tell the truth, the average Jamaican man is just as unhealthy as the woman. Let's talk about that, too. Our feeble healthcare system will not be able to take care of the numerous heath complications that stem from an unhealthy diet.
intermittent fasting
Muta is still a comedian 😂
American Deli (and other places like them-Asian flare w/fried Rice and French fries with orange salt and wings flavored in any flavor you desire) is a big problem too!!!

Thank you as a BW I need to hear this and other BW. It is time for us to take accountability, I watch older videos from music to random videos. I ask myself how did we go from being naturally beautiful to now. I am speaking in reference to Men and Women.
I visit Africa twice in the past two years, the people there are nice and fit. While we are over here Mcdonald fat and sloppy. I am being honest with love, I am tired seeing McDonald's, Chik fila, Wendy's other fast food places having a concert line wrap around the building.
I have majorly change my way of thinking when eating food in America. I only eat beef when I am outside of America, I dont eat pork, some bone in chicken, no fish in America.
I prefer to cook my own food, majority of food in America is not the meat their advertising allegedly. When people buying from these restaurants in America how do they know if they are eating cow meat or chicken especially boneless.
The rest of the food allegedly has same posion ingredients they use in cleaning and car solutions.
I love his honesty
This is very true. I'm a black woman and I lost so far 10 lb just by cutting down processed food. I did cook a lot and I still do but now I'm juicing and just adding a lot of vegetables into my diet. Cutting processed food is our biggest addiction that may be hard. Once you do cut out the processed food you would no longer desire bad stuff that would be put into our body. I was never big to begin with but I was borderline obese and 140 now and I was just 155 but I'm 5/8 so a lot people told me I didn't look almost 160 but I feel a difference just cutting down.
Amen truth
@S.Morris Thats great! The first 10 is the hardest. God bless on your journey
@@cowel8734Good job
Black women are the most beautiful women in your natural state.
ALSO, the additives in processed foods and seasonings have a bad effect on the endocrine system. While in Jamaica I noticed the cheap fluoridated salt and the neurotoxic Maggi packets, I was horrified. Fresh from scratch is best and cooperative cooking to help the women overburdened with childrearing and housekeeping.
Neurotoxic Maggi packets? Can you explain more about why it's toxic or where you read this?
@@summerrain6125
Maggie products contain the entire product range of the chemical industry: among many other questionable ingredients, sodium glutamate/glutamate in particular has repeatedly come under criticism: for example, it has damaging effects during pregnancy & breastfeeding. In the USA there are warnings against consumption, in Germany it is BANNED in baby/children's food.
More enlightened consumers in Europe are partly boycotting Maggie's products, which is why they are increasingly promoting the waste in so-called "Third World Countries" in order to open up new markets.
BE CAREFUL with that stuff & more informed beforehand! Glutamate is considered an important factor in all neurogenerative diseases because the substance is suspected of promoting all diseases in which the brain dies. These include Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis... etc 🤢🤮

The fluorinated salt from the chemical industry is harmful, causes edema, high blood pressure, etc... That's why I only use untreated sea salt (a little), preferring to season the dishes with spices/herbs. 🌻😋✌🏻
@@SabiArtStory777 so the Maggi/bouillon has fluoridated salt. Does this mean anything with fluoride (such as our water in the US and toothpaste) also has these same effects? Or would you say this about all salts?
@@summerrain6125They said it don't have the same effect in the other things, but just in food, cause you eat it. But here in Germany it is banned for toothpaste for kids (why?), I stay careful with that..
Much love to MutaBaruka❤from American Ras our people don't care no more..😢
Interesting cause he doesn't look in shape himself. I guess his eyes don't see fat men because I see them everywhere.
He looks the same over the years. Rasta is on a healthier diet than the average person
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣You’re right! I was 8 stone when I travelled to the states on holiday, and after 2 weeks I kid you not I was 11 stones 😫🤦🏾♀️The food is massive, and have you seen the size of the pizzas they serve in the cinemas?!
The pizza gets us all. It's so damn goods
😂😅😊
@@darkNovaskar Ya know!!!! 😆
U dont have to eat all the massive food.
@@samston either too overly social or not enough social interactions lead to big eating
He hasn't lied. Watch what you EAT people.!!!!!
What you consume as food and beverage affect your physical body and your mentality.
If you are depressed cut out sugar first, then all processed foods and do your best to cook your food. Home made food cooked with fresh produce is your best bet in keeping your body and mind healthy and intact respectively
Ire o
One word: laziness!
Yup.
Eating sugar, fats and carbs is the problem.
Yup. Exactly
I disagree that it's just Fast Food tho. Most people need to be re educated on nutrition. The majority of ppl I see in the supermarket shopping to go home and cook are still buying a lot of processed, sugar filled, denatured garbage
Muta always tell the truth . Serious ting rasta! Seen?
What he says is supported by scientific research. Look up the Pima Indian study. Previous to to 1950s, the Pima had an almost zero incidence of diabetes and heart disease, because they ate a primarily nature, Native American diet. In the 1950s, a General Store with prepackaged food and diner opened up on their reservation. Incidences of diabetes, obesity and heart disease began to skyrocket. Within a few decades, they had the highest incidence of cardio metabolic disease in the Country. Same holds true for Africans who migrate to the US. Within a few decades, they develop diabetes obesity and hear disease.
Wow 😮
Why don't they stay in Africa. Genuinely asking.

😂😂 the man is right..watching from Ireland...met so many lovely Jamaicans in London..salt of the earth..
My man said a pyramid 👀👀, lol.
I went to essence in Louisiana last year. And it seem like a good amount of the women had pregnant pouch and was wearing things to show it off..
😂😂
Their habit
And most black men are gay so I guess everyone has struggles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is right bust even if you cook you must cook healthy food
Cook yourself and stay healthy. Greetings from Austria😊
I absolutely agree with this
Speakin' truth. We have to do better.
Truth spoken!
TY for Speaking UP ☝🏾
It's about HEALTH !!!
That's so very true Muta! Continue to educate the people.
Depression too.
Right on point Greatness, respect, one love.
He's great to listen to!
🎉So right..❤❤Living legend❤❤.Fast-food addicted young people ,has become a pandemic .Sad that Real home cooking had become for most people, "old school"
Muta, thank you Sir for highlighting these issues.
Right on the spot! Facts! Its killing you the fast food. Why whe call it food?
LOL seeing a long line and you thought there was an accident or something but it was only a fast food line!!!😂😂😂
He’s right. I always drop 10-15 pounds when I go to Jamaica 🇯🇲. It’s too hot and too exciting there to think about food. ❤
I love and respect BABA MUTABARUKA,, KORA ( GREETINGS ) FROM NAMIBIA ( NORTHERN AFRICA ) WHICH THEY CALL SOUTHERN AFRICA..💪🏾🕯️⚖️🪶

So true my brother I eat healthy an excersise I don't eat out period an am still thick but I know it's not coming from unhealthy eating I will continue to exercise an eat healthy .I come to the conclusion there are different body type but it's important we take care of our bodies no excuse for getting overweight not all of us can be slim buy we all can look Damm good if we choose to do so
Do you eat a lot of package and process food?
You are 100% right about the women getting too big. I came back from America after ten years and I could not believe the size of these women in Jamaica. Whenever I take a taxi and there is a problem fitting four passengers in a row, it is always the oversize women that cause the driver to fit one passenger less.
Thank you for this truth and honesty Mutabaruka❤ Growing up in a Jamaican household in America, fast food was a rarity and almost non existent! We used to cry, tears rolling down, pointing to the McDonald’s thru the car window only to be told, “No! dinner at home is betta Dan Macdonals!”😂 Back then it felt like torture and deprivation, but TODAY!smh I’m Eternally grateful for their wisdom! And I’m a great cook!❤😉🥰
Peter Tosh warned us 1979, seen
He’s speaking the truth.❤
An old interview but a good one.
Great video!! Nothing but the truth here. Thankfully I came from a generation where cooking from scratch was encouraged thanks to my mother and grandmother. I'm so passionate about cooking that it's what I do for a living (blogger/vlogging hence my screen name) especially being Caribbean because I can see for myself what Mutabaruka is saying. I think people are leading more of a convenience lifestyle where its easier to go to a fast food joint instead of going in the kitchen. That and the art of cooking is slowing being lost and it's encouraged. People are forgetting how to cook their cultural foods and what they do eat is unhealthy anyway and couple that with a lack of exercise and it's a recipe for disaster.
I was just talking about this with my mom. It's one thing to be fat and rich, but when you're fat and living at poverty levels that tells you there's something going on with the food you have access to. It's not just the giant fast food that are the problem. The local take out restaurants are sourcing heavily processed ingredients as well. The whole food chain is sick.
I agree …. Muta, PREACH…. Talk truth 🇯🇲🇺🇸
"Dem look like ah pyramid" "draw it outta dem crutches"...etc 😂🤣😂 the patois has finished me lool! Hilarious commentary 😅
I suh agree Godking it's truly Facts yu saying. 💯 🇯🇲 🇨🇦 ❤
So right Muta! We must do better, I noticed the same thing in Ghana, West Africa. You never saw fat people in the past there, now…so many fat people and so many fast food places there. They even have a name for the overweight…..they call them “ bontose” people!
White people need to hear this too. Lifestyle choices in general have affected everyone’s health for the worse.
I just found out the reason my thirty something daughter doesn’t eat in fast food places is because in her own words “ mom you ruined me for chicken. You always cooked everything and we hardly ever went to a fast food place. Restaurants sure but not those. I don’t like the taste of them because of that.”
And she meant it in a good way.
Absolutely right! It's not like there is a shortage of fat white people.
My God how do y'all find your way over here? Damn it's so annoying
I get sick of seeing y'all constantly finding yourselves in our spaces .. you don't even have the common decency to respect boundaries.
