In Africa, they would do well to move back to the way their ancestors ate, straight off the land, without the chemicals and pesticides and additives in processed, long shelf-life food.
Fruit, vegetables, a few nuts and seeds and the occasional piece of game meat, has sustained man for millennia. Grains were only used in times of drought when fresh vegetables were not available. Maize farming was probably only introduced to Africa to supply cheap food for slave ships in the 16/17th century. Cooked maize has become the staple diet of many African nations and is one of the least nutritious meals for humans.
What's worse is the fast junk food outlets are springing up like parasites in every city, and home grown foods of village communities are becoming a distant memory to the millions of newly urbanised. Long-life milk, synthetic fruit juices, masses of sweets and processed convenience foods have taken over our diets and the result is a general degeneration of health, more dependence on doctors and pharmaceuticals and the declining knowledge of how to produce our own food.
We have become dependent on supermarkets.
The corporations that run them, along with the big food processing manufacturers, have placed nutrition and health way down on their list of priorities, well behind profits, shelf-life, branding, display, advertising,high volumes and fast turnover.

So, they can choose to buy into that system of exploitation by supporting processed food, fast food, and supermarkets or take back the only power we have - our buying power - and insist on nutritiousorganic food.
Your best bet is to learn to grow sprouts in your kitchen and grow your own vegetables, even if it is only in a few crates on your balcony. If more spare land was cultivated by individuals and communities, we wouldn't have food shortages, and we wouldn't be dependent on a system that exploits our taste buds for profit. We could swop excess from each other and encourage more wholesome home industries to thrive.
You might say, well people have been surviving quite adequately on processed and cooked food, so what's the big deal? The big deal is the quality of life people on raw foods have found, (seebenefits). Imagine never getting ailments, never needing drugs or doctors, feeling way more energetic, thinking more clearly, running faster, keeping up with your kids till a ripe old age.
