I was in Kingston for the weekend and trust me they haven`t got the memo that there is a global recession going on...everywhere I look things are bubbling....houses being built, all kinds of fabulous new cars Audi Q7`s, BMW530`s and the new Mercedes Benz 200 C E or S...everybody out having a great time on Valentine's day. Young people out enjoying shows some with 3 children all under the age of 6. Young people coming home in droves even those that went as far as Dubai coming home due to what's happening there and they are back with first world ideas and first world energy to get the job done. As Butch Stewart one of our leading hoteliers said recently, Jamaica is not going to roll over and die....it certainly is not by the looks of things.
This will be a true test of spirit - if belief kills or belief cures we will find out using Jamaica as the guinea pig.
This is one time we are refusing to follow in America's path.
While out and mixing with the young entrepreneurs they tell me they think that the cancer stats are down in first world countries because of life style changes , the stats they say may be up in third world countries like Jamaica because of all the fast foods and insecticides and pesticides that have been exported here.
Families get their meals at fast food joints sometimes several times per week.
We have abandoned eating yam and other local produce for eating fast food........
We need to go back to growing our own food and realizing that all those American apples and grapes that have been sent here are no good for us......soak them and see what comes off them and look at them while soaking and freak.
We have our own apples and other fabulously delicious fruits, why buy those ?
We have our own cherries our own berries and our own plums, we just need to step up production and cut back on imports.
Bill Maher says 'PEOPLE DON`T CATCH A COLD THEY HATCH A COLD'
Amen!
