From what I remember reading, it has to do with how hard it is for your body to break it down.

Also, I remember reading that they recommended cutting back on the number of meals you eat per day. If you're constantly eating throughout the day, you're not only overworking your system by digesting food all day, but your body is also constantly making stomach acid because it doesn't have a regulated schedule for eating. This is where the idea of having one big dinner at the end of the day comes from.

I remember the human body being compared to a car. If you're always pushing it to its limits, it's going to break down sooner. If you look after it, it will continue running for years.

Above the fray.
Why are they against eating collard and mustard greens?

I don't agree with all their dietary laws, but most NOI members I've ever seen look super healthy and have glowing skin, so they must be doing something right.
Yeah I’d say that’s mainly from restraining from vices(drinking, smoking, etc) than diet. I’ve known plenty NOI members, family and non-family, who suffer from the same dietary ailments as other Black folks.

Funny you mention this tho, my mom met Muhammad Ali through my uncle back in the 70’s and always talked about how flawless his skin was.

We had greens for dinner tonight. I’m currently resting on the couch until I go home.


:manny:

But I may have some yams before then. I don’t like mixing my sweets and savories, and everyone always looks at me like I’m crazy for not having yams on my plate.
