@Kelly: That link between wealth and bad health was found in China as well when they did the China Study. Anytime a new Westernized city comes up, give it a few decades and diabetes and cancer skyrocket…..like the Native Americans in the States apparently have a huge problem with diabetes because of eating Western diets.
There is still quite a bit of junk in rural areas in the form of white flour, soda and sugar so even the cheapest options still have their share of junk in them but to a large extent people in the rural areas do eat “organic” because the food is right there outside their home.
As far as I can tell, nine times out of ten, diabetes is as a result of what you put into your body. I haven’t conducted in depth research on this one though and am going on very limited information.
As for the man with the lazy sperm, I hope that moment of pain helped him change his lifestyle for good…his sperms will thank him later

Oh, Africa’s in the future will be full of diabetes!!!!!!! ‘Damn whoever did this research of cr*p, go home and sleep, you have nothing to do!(Novo)!!!!!!!!!!
But do people understand that not all diabetic cases are linked to poor dieting………..!!?
Now that guy’s sperms having problems to swim!! (I did not watch it but the laugh I had……..oh no!) Is it that bad?lol
Where I am in Europe, there is a direct link ,so far , between poverty and obesity!Where I come from the fatter someone is the richer the family was(man’s belly bigger….) .The paradox. But still the food we eat in africa, is mostly fresh, especially with the prices lately, people tend to ¨order” from the rurals, cultivated and sent ie corn, kales, cabbages,peas and beans, and many more.(Not forgetting milk!)
African food is not that bad all together! Not a lot of junk, sugar and others! Though fast food stores seem to grow in the cities,I doubt if they will ever have a place in the rural (this refers mostly to Kenya)

Yeah, you travel shags and you realise how aware people are about their health. Town folk are the worst at this ignorance thing.

@Kelly: You’re grandmother is talking about weightloss? Progress! Of course, AIDS is the result of the evil eye which befell me after an owl landed on my roof

Yeah, working in Google looks like fun. By the way, you would be suprised at how seriously people are taking their health in Nairobi, especially our generation. Few guys are grossly overweight and all.

About the diabetes, I don’t think anyone blames it on the devil in this day and age. Even my own grandmother knows about it, actually she was talking weight loss the other day…lol… ok, but AIDS is still witchcraft.

@Kelly: Do a Google search for Google’s workplace (that sentence makes me smile) and check out how many gyms and cafes they have in that joint…..if I ever did anything to do with computer science, the first place I would camp outside to get work……Google. Wow, the fact that Google have brought that to Nairobi is very cool. Let’s hope we use them.
You know I am amazed that so many of my peers have not only grown their beer guts, but have had them for a year or more now, and are acting like they are there to stay. That can’t be a good sign.

@Caustic: I am surprised you have never heard the first, it’s the rebel’s excuse, they want to defy other people by poisoning themselves…go fig.
The second one I heard from my mother when we were arguing about this stuff and I feel its one of those excuses that the folks who think they’re slick will jump to when they run out of excuses.
Lol, a magnet behind the ear??!! Now that’s a first right there, that’s a first.
I couldn’t agree more, health isn’t shedding weight, it’s a lifestyle and way of life that has to be repeated day after day after day. Definitely do a post on the fads, after hearing the magnet thing, I’m all ears.

Yeah! Google Nairobi has a gymn I think. That would be so good especially for some of us who barely have time to do anything else on weekdays other than office work.

A contraption in your ear to help in weight loss… thats new!
