It's about time we seriously look at Caribbean food differently, it's getting frustrating to see nutritionists/gym instructors base meal plans on US/UK standards.
Who is not to say ½ mango is the equivalent of 1 handful of blueberries, use what we have.
I have seen some horrendous diet plans where I swear money has to be no option.

Go eat salmon but we are closer to fish markers than most country globally.

Isn't it better to know your fish vendor?

Use what we have!
