VEGETABLES FOR FAT LOSS

VEGETABLES......food that I have hated my whole life.I envy people who were brought up to love their vegetables therefore making staying healthy so easy.....I just ate caponata eggplant and a broccoli salad and although delicious, I could have done with a rare steak and baked potato on the side, I would take even some broccoli stuffed in the baked potato smothered with cheese......a cold red stripe light to wash that down and I would be a happy camper instead I had a cup of gravioli and guinea hen weed tea before.........anything to stay alive!
Everyone knows vegetables are good for us, but most people don't realize just how extremely effective they are for fat loss.
Here is an article by Kim Lyons from fasttracktofatloss.com telling us about the #1 fat loss food...VEGETABLES and the reasons you should stuff yourself with them...

1. They are very low in calories and so perfect for creating that necessary caloric deficit. You'd have to eat 20 large bags of spinach,or 5 heads of broccoli, to equal the calories of just 1 cup of pasta or 1 tablespoon of butter.
So, you absolutely do not have to go hungry on tiny portions when you load up on veggies. In fact, it's almost impossible to eat too many. Load'em up!
Compare it to a plate of processed carbs and high-fat foods. You only get to enjoy 1 REALLY small, thin slice of pizza for 250 calories and almost no nutritional value, and none of the energy or protein you need.
But when you focus on veggies you can eat a LOT more food, with less calories and a lot more nutritional value.
2. Veggies are also high in fiber. This is both good for your digestion and fat loss because fiber expands in your stomach, making you feel full and satisfied.
A bowl of spinach has 8 grams of fiber, about 1/3 of your daily requirement. Broccoli, green peas, and other green leafy vegetables are also good sources of fiber.
3. The third reason fibrous carbs are perfect for fat loss is because they have almost NO adverse affects on blood sugar levels. While it's still a good idea to balance veggies out with a protein source, even eaten alone they're okay because they don't cause an increase in insulin.
4. And finally, they're loaded with vitamins and minerals and other very beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants and phytonutrients, that will help you look and feel better, fight off disease, and improve your overall health. If there's any one type of food that is the most helpful for fat loss, it's definitely vegetables.

COMPLICATED FOOD vs SIMPLE FOOD

People always ask where I get my information, well, information is everywhere if we take the time to read.......to all the people who tell me they don`t know what to eat as I make it sound as if everything is bad for us, here is an article by David Zinczenko from Men's Health (yes I get my information from all types of sources) I hope it helps, I found it a very informative read - have a read for yourself and you'll see THAT NOT ALL FOODS ARE BAD FOR US AND WE DO HAVE A CHOICE.

The Truth About Your Food- Simpler is always better.
Think about it: Would you rather have your job made simpler, or more complicated? How about your relationship? Your finances? Those instructions to assembling your new IKEA bookshelf?
Simpler, right?
Okay, how about your diet? Wouldn't you prefer to make your diet simpler as well? Especially if you knew that simpler was also healthier? Then why do so many of us insist on choosing the most complicated foods we can find, when the simplest foods are always better?
Case in point: Let's say you had a choice between two seemingly similar products. Both had about the same number of calories, and had similar tastes. Based on these ingredient lists, which would you choose?
Beverage #1: Water mixed with high fructose corn syrup; concentrated juices of orange, tangerine, apple, lime and/or grapefruit; citric acid; ascorbic acid; beta-carotene; thiamin hydrochloride; natural flavors; modified food starch; canola oil; cellulose gum; xanthan gum; sodium hexametaphosphate; sodium benzoate; yellow dyes #5 and 6.
Beverage #2: Fresh-squeezed orange juice.
If you picked beverage #2, you'd be getting three times the vitamin C and about one-eighth the sodium, as well as a nice hit of calcium. But if you picked #1, then you'd be getting a nutritional cocktail made up primarily of water and high fructose corn syrup, with a variety of scary surprises. (Canola oil?!)
Yet many of us pick #1 on a regular basis—those are the ingredients for Sunny Delight original, by the way—because we seem dead-set on complicating our diets. And complicated is always bad. Simpler is always better. (Speaking of nutritionally empty drinks, watch out for these gut-busters with ingredients most of us could never, ever pronounce—this shocking list of the 20 Worst Drinks in America. Take them in even as a weekly treat and you could be adding an extra pound or two of belly fat a month.)
Check out the four popular processed foods below. Each violates the Eat This, Not That! cardinal rule—which is to say, they're just too complicated. Wait till you discover some of the junk we found hiding in each.
What's Really In …
NACHO CHEESE DORITOS (11 chips)
150 calories
8 g fat (1.5 g saturated)
180 mg sodium
The concept is, well, sort of brilliant: Nachos and cheese without the hassle of a microwave. Or even a plate, for that matter. You just tear open the bag and start snarfing. And as a parting gift, Dorito's leave your fingers sticky with something that looks like radioactive bee pollen. Now here's the question: Do you have any clue what's in that stuff? Here you go:
To create each Dorito, the Frito-Lay food scientists draw from a well of 39 different ingredients. How many does it take to make a regular tortilla chip? About three. That means some 36 ingredients wind up in that weird cheese fuzz. Of those 36, only two are ingredients you'd use to make nachos at home: Romano and cheddar cheeses. Alongside those are a cache of empty carbohydrate fillers like dextrin, maltodextrin, dextrose, flour, and corn syrup solids. Then come a rotating cast of oils. Depending on what bag you get, you might find any combination of corn oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, and sunflower oil. Some of those will be partially hydrogenated, meaning they give the chip a longer shelf life and spike your heart with a little shot of trans fat. (The reason you won't see this on the nutrition label is that FDA guidelines allow food manufacturers to "round down" to zero.)
And then, after the fats and nutritionally empty starches, there's a seasoning blend, which includes things like sugar, "artificial flavoring," and a rather worrisome compound called monosodium glutamate. Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is the flavor enhancer largely responsible for the chip's addicting quality. The drawback is that it interferes with the production of an appetite-regulating hormone called leptin. A study of middle-aged Chinese people found a strong correlation between MSG consumption and body fat. What's more, the FDA receives new complaints every year from people who react violently to MSG, suffering symptoms like nausea, headaches, burning sensation, numbness, chest pains, dizziness, and so on. Talk about radioactive bee pollen.
What's Really In …
SUBWAY 9-GRAIN WHEAT (6")
210 calories
2 g fat (0.5 g saturated)
410 mg sodium
Okay, so you're probably not in the habit of ordering a la carte bread loaves at Subway, but there’s a good chance you've eaten at least a few sandwiches built on this bread. The good news is that Subway actually delivers on the nine-grain promise. The bad news: Eight of those nine grains appear in miniscule amounts. If you look at a Subway ingredient statement, you'll find every grain except wheat listed at the bottom of the list, just beneath the qualifier "contains 2% or less." In fact, the primary ingredient in this bread is plain old white flour, and high-fructose corn syrup plays a more prominent role than any single whole grain. Essentially this is a white-wheat hybrid with trace amounts of other whole grains like oats, barley, and rye.
So outside of the nine grains, how many ingredients does Subway use to keep this bread together? Sixteen, including such far-from-simple ingredients as DATEM, sodium steroyl lactylate, calcium sulfate, and azodiacarbonamide. But here's one that's a little unnerving: ammonium sulfate. This compound is loaded with nitrogen, which is why it's most common use is as fertilizer. You might have used it to nourish your plants at home. And Subway does the same thing; the ammonium sulfate nourishes the yeast and helps the bread turn brown. What, did you think that dark hue was the result of whole grains? Hardly. It's a combination of the ammonium sulfate and the caramel coloring. Seems like Jarod might frown on that sort of subterfuge.
Of course, in terms of calories, Subway's still one of your best allies in the sandwich game. But here's an even better idea: Whip up one of these 25 best sandwiches in America at home in minutes. You'll save calories, money, and precious time.
What's Really In …
ORIGINAL SKITTLES (1 pack)
250 calories
2.5 g fat (2.5 g saturated)
47 g sugars
They're sweet, chewy, and brightly colored. Now, what are they? Well, the basic formula for each chewy neon orb is a gross mashup of sugar, corn syrup, and hydrogenated palm kernal oil. That explains why every gram of fat is saturated and each package has more sugar than two twin-wrapped packages of Peanut Butter Twix.
So those three ingredients plus a few extra fillers are basically all it takes to get the general consistency and flavor, but to achieve that color spectrum, Skittles brings in a whole new list of additives. When a Skittles ad tells you to "taste the rainbow," what it's really telling you to do is taste the laboratory-constructed amalgam of nine artificial colors, many of which have been linked to behavioral and attention-deficit problems in children. A few years ago the British journal Lancet published a study linking the artificial additives to hyperactivity and behavioral problems in children, which prompted the Center for Science in the Public Interest to petition the FDA for mandatory labels on artificially colored products. The FDA's response: We need more tests.
In the meantime, there's a very large-scale test going on all across the country, and every Skittles eater is an unwilling participant. And that doesn't even factor in the blood-sugar roller coaster you go on when you ingest a Skittles' bag worth of sugar.
Of course, Skittles look like broccoli, nutritionally speaking, compared to the foods on our new must-know roundup of the 20 Worst Foods in America. Read how there could be more than a day's worth of calories, sugar, and heart-harming trans fats—in a single fast-food or chain-restaurant meal! (More importantly, learn what you should eat instead.)
What's Really In …
TACO BELL MEXICAN PIZZA
540 calories
30 g fat (8 g saturated)
1,020 mg sodium
It's Italian, it's Mexican, it's . . . well, it's got a whopping 64 different ingredients, so it's hard to tell just what exactly it is. On the face of it, this meal doesn't look too bad. There are two pizza shells, ground beef, beans, pizza sauce, tomatoes, and three cheeses. Nothing alarming, right? Even the nutritional vital signs, while high, compare favorably to most fast-food pizzas. It only gets scary when you zoom in on what it takes to stitch those pieces together. That's when you see all of those 64 smaller ingredients, including an astounding 24 in the ground beef alone. Yikes.
Now, some of those ingredients amount to little more than Mexican seasonings and spices, but there are also loads of complex compounds such as autolyzed yeast extract, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, calcium propionate, fumaric acid, and silicon dioxide. Any of those sound familiar? That last one might—if you've spent any time at the beach. But chances are you normally refer to it by its common name: sand.
That's right, sand is made from fragmented granules of rock and mineral, and the most common of them is silicon dioxide, or silica. This is also the stuff that helps strengthen concrete and—when heated to extreme temperatures—that hardens to create glass bottles and windowpanes.
So why exactly does Taco Bell put sand in the Mexican Pizza? To make it taste like spring break in Cancun? Not quite. As it turns out, Taco Bell adds silica to the beef to prevent it from clumping together during shipping and processing. The restaurant uses the same anti-caking strategy with the chicken, shrimp, and rice.
Is it unusual to add silica to food? Yes. Is it dangerous? Probably not. The mineral actually occurs naturally in all sorts of foods like vegetables and milk.

WELL IT'S YOUR CHOICE - FOR ME IT'S A NO-BRAINER - SORRY I DO NOT WANT SILICA IN MY FOOD!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY !

This father's day made me remember my father more than usual, he died in 1980 but he certainly is always a background thought of my life..........
He was born on the 4th of Nov, I was born on the 6th, my mother used to ask aloud daily what did she do to deserve 2 miserable people like us in her life. She couldn`t do without us though...
I was an adoption and he would tell me in later years how he wanted no children in his life as my mother and himself were childless for 16 years before I came into their lives and he liked it just fine but when mommy decided I was her new toy to dress and look after and carry everywhere with her she brought me home and I wore him down. He said he would be eating his dinner and I would crawl under the table up into his lap and my tiny hands would be in his food....
One thing I have always known for sure without him saying it is how much he loved me I always felt he would give his life for me and when I got cancer he used to wonder aloud how could I at my age get it and not him.......he refused to even call the word.
He used to own a factory that made furniture and the workers used to say to me 'Miss Pat you need to tell your father not to curse so much, it not good for his heart'.
He could cuss you under the table he also drank scotch and water and chain smoked cigarettes. He had a larger than life personality - CR Jenkins - one of a kind. When he was told that his habits were unhealthy he answered that if he had to give them up to live he would rather die. Well die he did from an embolism, and I guess if you can choose a way to die that's a great way, as it's instant, by the time he said he was feeling ill he was dead and he had been fine up to then, but what it does to the family I cannot even now come to terms with 29 years later.......sudden death - easy for the dead, hard for the family........and he was in his bed........Can you imagine the ones that die by accident or by some form of violence ? I cannot come to terms with that. I look on the faces at funerals and shudder.
My Mother died quietly but with warning and it was so much easier to deal with, so those of you that are lucky to say good bye, give thanks and make use of it!

Unhealthy sponsors?

No matter how frustrated I get, when I read articles like the one recently published in Time magazine captioned "Cancer charity chastises FIFA for "unhealthy" sponsors", I realize all is not lost..........
Little by little we are going to get the message across that things like COCO-COLA, that we love so much, is just not good for us.....
Can you imagine the biggest show in the world without Coke as a sponsor ? I don`t think we will ever see that and they can`t change the ingredients as that will change the taste but we need a choice. Coke has the biggest share of the beverage market so they have the money to sponsor huge events ....Fresh almond milk or freshly squeezed grapefruit juice or a green juice doesn't have even have a small market share so they can sponsor nothing..... Soda cannot be our be all and end all and we have to know this, and we have to have an option that is just as cool and heavily marketed ........I believe that day is fast approaching as more people speak out and popular magazines give prominence to these voices - check out the article from Time magazine -

The World Cancer Research Fund, an international non-profit that works with cancer research organizations and charities, has spoken out against FIFA's sponsor choices for the upcoming World Cup in South Africa, according to the BBC. The group characterized the international soccer authority's partnerships with Coca-Cola, McDonald's (PDF), Budweiser and other "unhealthy" sponsors as disappointing, and said that they send young fans the wrong message.
The general manager of the World Cancer Research Fund, Teresa Nightingale, told the BBC that soccer has the potential to be a significant force in the battle against childhood obesity as it is "a type of physical activity that is accessible to almost everyone," and in the weeks ahead many young children will likely be "inspired by the skills of the likes of Rooney and Messi and try to repeat them in their back gardens and local parks in the same way as their parents and grandparents once tried to emulate Maradona and Pelé."
Nightingale went on to say: "It is disappointing that these companies have been chosen as sponsors and partners... The FIFA website describes sponsorship as an opportunity to promote brands on a global basis and we would argue that it is a real own goal to be giving this opportunity to companies that are known for unhealthy products."
Yet critics of the charity's comments say that they ignore the fact that these sponsorships enable grand-scale international tournaments such as the World Cup to happen in the first place, and that the sponsors being criticized are increasingly offering healthier food and beverage options in addition to their much-maligned products.
Ian Barber, spokesman for the Advertising Association, also told the BBC that the overall impact of advertising on children's diet was likely "marginal" and dismissed the comments as "well-meaning" but effectively "misdirected rhetoric."
Authors of a new study published this week in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association might question whether criticism of ad campaigns and sponsorships by corporations hawking low-nutrition products is in fact off the mark. As my colleague Alice Park reports for TIME, in this recent study, researchers from Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, Ga analyzed the nutrition content of foods advertised during one month of prime time and Saturday morning television. Park writes:"When the research team calculated the nutritional content of a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet containing only foods that were advertised on television, they found that it exceeded the government's recommended daily amount of fat by 20 times and had 25 times the recommended daily intake of sugar."
The FIFA World Cup in South Africa kicks off on Friday June 11 and billions of people around the globe are expected to tune in to watch this year's 32 qualifying national teams compete. And, as in every World Cup since 1950, televised coverage will likely feature prominent placement of Coca-Cola logos.

WHOLE FOODS VS 'HEALTH' FOODS

Watching an interview with an 110 year old lady yesterday was most interesting and confirmed my beliefs that as long as you can eat whole foods you can eat anything....she said she doesn`t eat pork and surprise surprise she doesn`t eat CHICKEN!!!!!
She loves making her meals and took great pleasure in saying how she made run down with her fresh coconut milk not from a packet made in China people.....fresh everything....... she fixed it all herself,no fast food, no not knowing where the food comes from and she loves johnny cake which is a Jamaican fried flour dumpling but she says she only has one - everything in moderation.....
She had such energy and was so alert and reads without glasses and unlike cancer patients, who in their fifties don`t have a memory thanks to chemo, she has A PHENOMENAL MEMORY!!!!! She could quote poems from her school days....
After watching that stimulating interview , here comes this in my mailbox from LUCAS at YogaBodyNaturals.com

When I first got into healthy living, one of my old friends asked me: "Why does everyone in the health food store look so sick?"
I didn't want to admit it, but he was right. Sick people hang out in health food stores, obsess over foods choices,and study labels like scientists.
The world is full of paradoxes like this, and here's what REALLY gets me:
At least ½ of the "health food" on the market isn't actually healthy at all. I'm serious. Sugar-free cookies, bran-filled muffins, fat-free ice cream... this stuff is all seriously toxic.
I know this because I put it to the test in 1999. For 3 months straight, I ate nothing but Balance bars (these little energy bars sold at GNC, grocery stores, and gas stations).
They used to have a flavor called Strawberry-Yogurt, and I ate those damn things like they were going out of style.
Let me whet your palate: each bar had a white cream coating that covered a brown turd nugget with the consistency of a 3-week old brownie. And inside, it
contained the following:
- 15 grams of protein
- 15 grams of carbs
- 6 grams of fat
- 23 essential vitamins & minerals
- 100% daily allowance of Vitamin C & E
- Full B vitamin spectrum
Back then, I used to smoke and drink, so the above nutrients sounded like a jackpot. I was in pathetic shape with a weak and floppy body; but I figured I just needed some better nutrients.
So I gave up all food and just munched on these perfect little "balanced" bars instead.
Surprise, surprise, I felt like crap. My eyes turned grey,I stank like garbage, and I used the toilet about once every 3 days... nightmare!
In the morning, I'd wake up with a coppery taste in my mouth, and my pee was as bright as orange juice (there goes those "23 essential vitamins").
Back then, I couldn't figure it out. Technically, I had everything an exceptionally healthy person needs: the protein, the nutrients, the right amount of fat.
But with food, "technically" doesn't mean squat. Naturally is what matters.
Case and point: do you know anyone who eats meat and potatoes every day and is super healthy? I do. Know anyone who eats "health foods" all day and yet looks and feels
like crap? I do.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying give up your tofu for 2 all-beef patties on a sesame seed bun... but what I am saying is that WHOLE food trumps so-called
HEALTH food 7 days a week.
No packaging. No processing. No additives. No nothing.
Food comes from the earth, and the really healthy stuff arrives on your plate shortly there after. If you're into yoga, if you want to be more flexible, if you're trying to connect with your physical body... then I gotta tell you, food is where it's at!

I REST MY CASE!
Talking about moderation look at this Lady. Guess how old she is? She is 100 years young and this is from a photo shoot done a few days before her 100th Birthday! She says everything in moderation.Her picture and story I`m putting on my refrigerator to remind myself that it can be done....GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS AT 100 CAN BE DONE!

EATING RAW IN KINGSTON

There is much more to Kingston than all the bad news we've recently been bombarded with - there are great restaurants and eating out is now even more of a pleasure for me as vegan chef I-wara has now set up shop in the Market Place ......stopping for nut milk and a fiery green juice whenever I`m there is such a joy.
Here is the review of this raw food restaurant recently published in the Jamaica OBSERVER -

Getting A Raw Deal!
The idea of consuming raw food hasn't quite caught on among the local lunchtime set, but vegan chef I-Wara is determined to change that by providing healthy and attractive uncooked options.
"The benefit of eating raw food is that you get all the enzymes, which are destroyed when food is heated above a certain temperature," says the Rastafarian who operates the new vegan eatery Mi Hungry Whol'-Some-Food at The Marketplace.
I-Wara, a vegan for over 15 years, says he gained inspiration to change his diet after hearing Mutabaruka interview celebrated raw food enthusiast Dr Aris LaTham.
"After going to a presentation featuring Dr LaTham at the Altamont Court Hotel, I just decided to change the way I eat," I-Wara shares, noting that before becoming a vegan chef he worked at the Jamaica Social Investment Fund as a computer programmer. But I-Wara didn't commit to his passion until his friend who suffered from hypertension started to follow his diet.
"He did, ate what I ate, and his blood pressure stabilised," I-Wara quips. And before long I-Wara was using his "Empress' kitchen to fill orders".
The fare became a hit with his early clients, which included legendary music producer Sly Dunbar to whom he would deliver lunch at Tuff Gong Studios.
"I didn't know that it was he who had ordered... and before I knew it word got around," the chef says. Relying on his growing network of friends (or should that be I-drens?), I-Wara made an ambitious leap to set up shop at The Marketplace. The shop has been opened for mere weeks, but it's easy to see that greatness is not far off.
"Yes I, we have a good client base," I-Wara tells Thursday Food boasting of psychiatrists, lawyers and herbal lifestyle devotees who come through his doors daily for a healthy pick-me-upper.
The menu board presents offerings like various seed- and nut-based shakes, natural juices sans sugar and a variety of exciting fruit and vegetable meals.
Here, the traditional garden salad isn't the preferred bite, but rather patrons ask for delights like the 'irie' Nyamburger comprising a mixture of walnuts and almonds ground and dried to form buns that sandwich an ackee or mushroom-based patty served with tomatoes, lettuce and onions. The Mi Hungry Pizza is a burst of colour; laden with bright red, green and yellow peppers, pineapple, onions and lettuce, the crust is a mash-up of berries and pumpkin seeds.
Then, there's the nut cheese which is a paste made from ground nuts. The vegan burger retails for $500, while a whole pie costs $1,000, a half $500 and a slice $300.Mi Hungry Whol'-Some Food offers both savoury and sweet, which this time was the Paradise Pie. The pie crust is made from crushed almonds and coconut, while the filling consists of layers of sliced mango and papaya fused with a ginger-naseberry jam. A sweet slice of this fruity delight goes for $300. Wash it all down with a glass of fruit juice...cherry was the preferred flavour.
I-Wara believes his offerings are comparable to non-vegetarian options.
"Those guys use flour and all the nutrients cook out, here you're getting value and health because we substitute with nuts and fruits...no additives, just freshly prepared food."

Now my review on it is that though the food is good, every day it runs out. By now they must know they can make enough to take them past 3 o"clock. Some of us will want to buy food for the evening......the other thing is if I need somewhere to take a friend to lunch, so I can introduce the food to them ,with all the many i-drens and empresses sitting at the one table selling us food, there is nowhere for me to catch a bite if I'm not doing takeout.
Please put 2 cafe style tables outside so we don`t need to eat in the car.

JAMAICA'S 4 G's - GARRISONS, GANGS, GUNS AND GULLY CREEPERS

As you know my little island of wood and water has been going through some trying times, so I`ve not been able to blog on a regular basis as following the news has distracted me from fighting cancer because I now need to be fighting for my country.....What I need to remember though is that I need to have health to do this , so it's more important than ever to eat properly but while I remind myself of that I want to share with you some of my thoughts on my beloved country.........For years we have known that Mr Seaga's model community was the "mother of all garrisons", in Jamaica we have 80 garrisons - these are communities where the police and soldiers have to consult the reigning Don if they want to enter, the member of parliament is usually also informed or they tell him/her and he asks the Don - however it works - they can`t just go in there as they like......How can an island this size have 80 such communities and 45 gangs?
How can the Mayor of Kingston (who incidentally is also the councillor for Tivoli) buy a piece of land for JA$20m and build a house worth JA$70m and he was not independently wealthy before he was voted in and no one asks where did the funds come from ???? He is carrying more mortgages than some of our biggest business men- shouldn`t we ask how come ?
How can we launch an investigation into whether ordinary civilians also died in the recent incursion into Tivoli - aren`t gunmen civilians too ? Do they dress in special clothes to come and steal from or shoot you or me ? Those who died innocently are casualties of war!
How come after 1 day so many bodies were decomposing ? Did anybody not think that those people were killed before the armed forces went in ? How come the Tivoli residents who were demonstrating 2 days before in their white T Shirts saying they were going to die for Dudus didn't have food in their houses and were starving 24 hours after the soldiers secured the area ? I guess since they were going to die they didn`t need food right?
Do we really believe that men who have committed crimes are not going to use sewage and storm drains to make their escape ? Last time I checked sewage washes off and where do you think the Gully Creeper dance came from ?? We need to listen more closely to the dance hall lyrics and be educated !!!!
Why are we up in arms when the armed forces leave downtown and come uptown to do their work ? Are criminals only situated downtown ? Dudus didn`t live in Tivoli but in a upscale, uptown , multimillion dollar mansion !!!
How come the 5 per day killings have reduced to 2 every other day since the Tivoli raid ? Could it be that some of the shottas who came to fight for Dudus from all over the island really died there ??? If that isn`t true how come their mothers and wives are coming to identify them from all over the country?
What I learned from this is that the big bad gunmen cannot stand up to the armed forces, what a relief !!! Please Mr. Police and Mr.Soldier don`t stop - please clear all 80 garrison -especially those in Mo-bay.
Please Jamaica stop listening to propaganda...Renato told you this years ago and tried to do the clean up from then and you put him behind a desk.....
We need to make crime a thing of the past in Jamaica we have major problems coming..... The oil from Mr. BP that is going to give many countries no water to swim in for years to come - hopefully it wont be coming this way but If the hurricane season they are predicting manifests this year as they say its going to, I am here to tell you that we will be in deep trouble as who nows where the oil will go then...... I went swimming in the sea yesterday and I was swimming in WARM water That's not a good sign people!
