For the majority of our history our ancestors did not eat wheat or wheat based foods which made them tough, lean and upright. Wheat has made our people get fat easier when it’s not our natural body shape (we were meant to be lean). When the men or women get fat it looks very unnatural on us compared to other races. Wheat via rice and bread/rotti which originates from the Arabs by way of the Indians has caused the poor diet switch and made us prone to several ailments.
Change my view: Wheat is a poison that was introduced into our people by foreigners. It is not the natural food of our ancestors

People where lean cause they were nomads. People in cities have always been out of shape. I dont think nothing is wrong with our food, its just that we move less and confined to few places. I recently came back from Somalia and people are for the most slim
Compare Somalis to the developed world, we actually not that out of shape. There are many other factors too, lack of hygiene, pure water and healthcare.
I have no argument against you. I infact totally concur. I would even say you have not gone far enough in that it is an inappropriate food source for ALL human beings, period.
We have barely any cecum to speak of, a stomach PH of 1-2 on level with that of scavengers more so than even carnivores and only some minor, vestigial fermentation ability around areas like the colon. Our digestive tract is also only a little bit longer than a dog or cat's and shorter and less complex by far than that of proper omnivores like pigs. We are mostly meant to eat animal foods with some plant consuming capacity to limp along for survival which we have increased with our intelligence via methods like fermentation, grinding, powdering and cooking.
Ideally, if we're not destitute, such foods should never be eaten anyway and cause long-term deterioration via antinutrients, phytotoxins, deuterium and the glycative effects of sugars. We insist on eating them because most of us are bloody addicts and have been since the Neolithic revolution. They're also a cheap and easier source of "nutrition" we were forced to cultivate more and more after the last ice-ages made animal foods progressively more scarce.

I can’t comment on the wheat based food as I’m don’t know too much about diet other than the basics.
As for Somalis looking worse when they’re fat, that makes sense , considering the fact we tend to have long but very slender frame.
Being fat with thin joints looks horrible and is even more noticeable than someone being fat with much larger joints.
Good thing is, getting in shape/muscular is simple.
Absolutely based response. Glad to see you can spot this and provided tangible evidence
What about Baasto huuno? Cangeero/lo with extra saliid maacsaaro? Ohh and plenty of sugar sprinkle-- that do'nt make Somalis fat?
