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.

Interesting entry! I have some rastafarian friends and they have never told me about this!. In my opinion, they are right, our body is a temple and we should try to make an effort to keep it healthy.
ResponderEliminarWow! such a hardworking group of people! that is totally nice, it makes me feel bad about my poor selection of food. :( I did not suspect that Rastafari people had such a healthy culture, something cool and inspiring to know about them.
