I grew up in Samoa in the Samoan way or the Fa’a Samoa. Often in our family we only had bread and butter or oatmeal for breakfast no lunch or have bread again for lunch. As going without lunch was a regular occurrence, I would simply wait until dinner and then feast on a big plate to make up the missing mid-day meal. However, once I discovered the dangers associated with unhealthy food, I chose to adjust my diet. Once I understood what it was doing to my body I changed my attitude to food. I love my food and with the Samoan culture I grew up in FOOD is very much key. But now, I eat for nourishment, and I certainly do my very best not to overeat. I believe you can still eat a little more, provided it is healthy.
