This week has brought about a subject I think is extremely important. Eating healthy is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves. It is important for each generation to evaluate the diet of their culture or elders and see if the recipes are healthy. In my Jamaican culture, I realize that although our recipes are delicious, they are lacking vegetables and healthy seasonings. The diets back then were based on what families could afford. There is also may vegetables in American that is not in Jamaica. I remember when my grandmother first came to the United States; she was amazed by the abundance of vegetables and could not understand why the American diet was so unhealthy when we have access to so many healthy foods.
