Somalis should change their diet

When I look at Somali food I always think to myself why the hell does our food lack any beneficial nutrients and healthy shit?. GUYS WAKE THE f*ck UP!! If we don't stop eating shit and qashin like xalwa,malawax,buur, and those nasty rock hard biscuits then we're finished. Look at average Kenyan diet they all consume a fair balance of protein, fibre and fat and they're all built like units. The main reason us Somalis guys in particular are mostly in bad shape is not because of genetics because that's a weak excuse it's our poor fucking diet and the crappy carbs we consume everyday.

It's weird because I have some grandfathers (and some greatuncles/fathers) still alive in their 80s and 90s but one thing I've noticed is that they fast a lot or have 1-2 meals a day only

I love how these ajanabi love splitting up Somalia in maps but never do the same to for example, Katanga in Congo which is much more independent. Or any of the dozens separatist states in africa. Only because Somalia isn't a part of the western order.

I agree bro, we get called luga baasto. But at the same time we don't eat the food needed to build muscle.

Also not all somali food is unhealthy. In southern Somalia especially in the farming communities, they eat some good foods high in protein and nutrients. e.g. Soor, Cambuulo , spinach, corn etc.. All these foods are healthy and high in nutrition.

But sadly many Somalis look down on this diet and it is slowly dying out and even farming communities are adopting the typical Somali diet of Bariis and Baasto. Which is sad.

But I think it stems from ignorance and stuborness. Somalis are ignorant about food and nutrition, or just to stubborn to actually sit down and make a change in our national diet.

Yhh like I stated this isn't applicable to all Somalis. But a large percentage of somalis are just ignorant.
 
Just start with yourself, and then your children when you have them or if you already do. When others see the benefits they will naturally start to gravitate to a healthier diet.

Ps.

I think Somalis have a big problem with gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance. Our bodies do better with lean meats, fresh vegetables/fruits and camel milk for calcium (Camel milk contains much less lactose).

Somalis who grow up on a diet high in protein and low in gluten tend to be tall lean and for some reason end up looking super modelesque. It is all in our genes.
 
Growing up we ate pretty healthy. We ate a lot of vegetables, beans (faasoliat, foul, etc), animal organs (beer & kelyaha), and a good amount of proteins (fish, chicken, lamb, beef, etc.). Also our mom made many different types of maraq. You can definitely have a nutrient rich Somali diet

That is why Somalis should make a camel milk industry. Imagine the industry it could bring if commercialised and marketed the right way. There are so many benefits in camel milk.

It is very rare. The majority here deteriorate in health after fifty, and there are no hospitals. Rather hospitals will cause your death because they are very bad
