  1. @Cabinet

    Because people are not eating properly because they cannot afford to buy good food because of the high cost of living in Antigua.

    AH LABOUR PARTY AH CAUSE PAIN AND SUFFERING IN DIS COUNTRY AND NOW DEM WICKED SELF IMPOSING MORE TAXES ON POOR DEPERATE ANTIGUANS. PEOPLE AND CHILDREN DYING FROM YALL INACTION AND NON-POLICY IN RELATION TO THE RISING COST OF LIVING.

  2. ANTIGUANS RAT TOO MUCH PROCESS FOODS … FRY FOOD ALWAYS AT KENTUCKY

    ALSO THEM YOUNG GYALS CANT COOK
    MAKEUP & WEAVE … FETES ARE THEIR CONCERNS THATS WHERE THEY PUT THEIR MONEY AND EAT POORLY

    COST OF FOOD ISNT TO BLAME BAD CHOICES ARE

    HEALTH IS WEALTH BUT THEY THINK BEYOND THEIR NOSE

    THEY CLEARLY SEE THE CANCER CENTRE CLOSE AND IM TIRED OF THEM COMING TO AMERICA TO BURDEN OUR ALREADY OVER BURDENED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

    PAY EXTREME ATTENTION WYOUR HEALTH ITS ALL YOU HAVE

    • @ Health……….make up

      U full of shit. This must be Gaston because you have used this phrase and words in the past.

      Unconscionable.

  3. Interesting finding(s). Are these stats from scientific studies or trial & error, by simply recording data?

    They need to break down these findings, into specific categories, as ion; age, demographics, income, culture/ethnicity, sex, time span of study etc. If they did, and it’s not been reported, then for an issue which is so vital to the Nation, this is #shoddy_reporting.
    An AI Bot would be more thorough in its reporting!

    The government MUST be keener attention, to the processed goods from food to building materials to clothing to pesticides which are imported into the Nation.

    Our leaders keep negotiating for HOTELS, but the Nation is in dire need of Research Facilities and processing facilities.;

  4. How quickly we forget. Perhaps, to some extent, this can be traced to foods, but there is another consideration.
    Cancer worldwide has exploded off the charts in the wake of the poisons people opted to take in 2020.
    The cancer groups here seem on the hush, but people are out there, working age people who are being diagnosed with all types of cancer. The probability increases exponentially if you took the MRNA jab.
    Read an article by Dr. Peter McCullough of the USA, who has been warning people about these MRNA jabs from the inception, and scientists have found that these jabs contain tumor promoters call SV40. Our people here are so corrupt and secretive, including many doctors, that we can almost trust nothing they say.
    People are dying here, and worldover at increased rates, and this since 2020. The prognosis was 3 to 5 years. We are nearing that time. We wait.

    • @Watching…they’re gonna label you a #Rush_Limbaug Clone😃!
      Many recognised from the inception of the #PLANdemic, that COVID was a Business Entity!
      From the etymology of the business name COVID…
      A…The prefix: COV – Coefficient Of Variance(mathematical equation use in statistics, finance, marketing).
      B…The root: ID
      (i)…IDENTIFICATION(vaccine passports to #no jab, no job)
      (ii)…in psychology, it’s the EGO(the brash and devious ways of big pharma & government).

      BUSINESS! BUSINESS! BUSINESS!

      So, can this be a form of EUGENICS and POPULATION CONTROL?

    • You beat me to it @ Watching, but have you noticed that many of the comments are leaning towards junk food (and I don’t deny that it plays a part); however, it seems like many have forgotten about the coercion and mandatory practices of the ABLP in trying to persuade ALL Antiguans to partake in taking the vaccines.

      HEY, LET’S NOT MENTION THE COVID-19 ELEPHANT 🐘 IN THE COUNTRY EH …

      • … I’ve lost count of the many many people who have REGRETTED taking the Covid-19 vaccines, 💉 💉 💉 but I’ve yet to meet any UNVACCINATED person who wished they’d taken it!

  5. What can be the outcome,if so many young people are eating junk food,at the chinese and Syrian restaurants,of course they will get cancer while the proprietors of these,establishments make money hand over fist selling junk thatthey themselves dont consume smh..

    • Syrian food is pretty healthy actually, at least their shawarmas are. The other fatty foods not so much maybe. The processed snacks everywhere you turn in Antigua, many are not very healthy. No reason why any Antiguan or other can’t open up healthy alternatives selling vegetable soups, salads, fruit dishes and local dishes. People eat what is available. Even if you try to cook at home, it’s hard to get your kids to eat healthy these days because they want to eat like their friends. So, we all have to work together as a nation to promote healthy eating.

    • @Asking. Hard to cook with the water situation maybe? Or, maybe it’s the lack of easy access to fresh produce in many communities…
