Learning about Rastafari culture

                   Heeeelloooo everyone! There has been a while since we talked. Today we are going to learn something totally distinct to what we have seen so far. In this blog we are going to learn about the Rastafari culture. You may think about the relation with organic food, but you will see that there are many interesting things that probably you did not know about this fascinating culture. Lets see!

First The Rastafari have a particular diet called “Ital” a word that indicates vitality, or a vital way of life. This system of living has relation with organic food because they do not eat anything genetically modified. For them, our body is the temple, as a consequence we should respect and take care of it. Rastafarians that follow an Ital diet consisting of plants and whole grains, which are the basis of any healthy diet, will find it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and will live a healthier life due to their food choices. The Rastafari live in harmony with the creator and the environment, for the same reason food is produced on local family farms and cooks avoid packaged food from large supermarkets. The diet is primarily vegetarian, as Rastafarians eat no meat, chicken, pork, shellfish or fish without scales.


As you may notice there are many attractive facts about this culture that probably you did not know. Organic food is an essential part in their life and we probably could learn a bit about them. I really hope you enjoy the post, because personally, I learnt many fascinating things.
