  Also very vital is exercises which the modern day typical Ghanaian will never do. There is too much starch/calories in our staple foods and doing less or no exercises at all to burn most of it, contributes to the health issues like obesity, raised cholesterol, etc. The typical Ghanaian wants to look big/fat which is bad. Also to blame is the sedentary lifestyle and too much driving and no walking for the 'Big men/women.

  Very ungrateful people. What used to be the life span before the advent of Westerners. Show a little class and acknowledge their contribution to the world at large.

  Which Western foods in particular of concern to good Ghanaians are they talking about? Is it hamburgers, white bread, fried chicken, red meat, pork etc. To just say stay away from Western foods to poor Africans who mostly thrive on on indigenous and organic dietary is bad counseling. What do they have to say about the side effects of the poisons they pass around as drugs with only placebo effect.

  It does not make complete sense just to say "western foods" contribute negatively to the health of Ghanaians without being specific.It is necessary to mention them; and they should not overlook the fact that some local foods if not consume within reasonable limits can also have bad consequences on the health of the Ghanaian. Consumption of too much alcohol and smoking is killing the Ghanaian as well. This is not from the west. Let's learn to take care of our selves by doing everything in moderation.

  We must stop eating western foods and stop eating processed foods and even the so-called IODATED SALTS which is not natural from the Creator.

  Iodide is needed for proper functioning of the thyroid gland.
  
  Also speaking of natural foods, there is a strain of cassava which is loaded with deadly cyanide. It is 100 percent natural and 100 percent deadly!
