What comes first? The real hunger or the obsession with food?
Depravation, certainly has an important role, a few years where some ended up killing their animals (any) so they’ll have something to eat… and now on the ascendant curve, the difficulty to find some food, whether there are none to buy or they are but at ridiculous prices.
The result of all this: obsession with food.
Do you know an average Cuban eats 6 meals a day? Yes six! Breakfast, tea, lunch, tea again, dinner, and something before going to bed.
You might imagine, light meals, don’t be mistaken the only light meal in all that is breakfast, a glass of whole milk with some bread and mayo. Tea is a sandwich, a proper sandwich with a huge chunk of ham or a pizza (Cuban pizza), Lunch, the whole lot, usually the rest of supper the night before, rice beans, egg with some veggie, depending on the season. Tea again, yes again a sandwich. Supper, is the heavy meal, loads of meat any meat will do, rice, potato manioc or any other rooty food, beans of course and some veggie, maybe you’ll have a soup before all that, and before you go to bed some bread with something…
Are you stuffed yet?
Basically never to feel hunger…
And by the way, drinking water makes you fat!
