ROADSIDE FOOD VENDORS AND THEIR WARES, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE..?.

in Snapie3 days ago

I was just moving along a certain place, immediately my eyes caught this food vendor and her wares, her food and her deep fries were attractive, alluring and captivating. I became very hungry, got closer there and nearly bought some to eat, but suddenly remembered that I do not eat anyhow, moreover those road side stuffs, because of the poor ingredients used by some vendors, you may not know.

My reason being that such road side vendors, do use the cheapest kinds of ingredients to prepare whatever food they sell to the public. In the quest to make so much profits from whatsoever they're selling to the public and my health doesn't accept all those properties.

Most of the times, after eating them, I do have some negative health reactions that doesn't tally well with my expectations, such situations has taught me some lessons. I deliberately and by my own decisions, do not buy or eat all those roadside mouth watering foods or deep fries...., pastries.

Just take a look at what I mean


A roadside vendors displaying her wares for people to buy.

She's deeply frying all she is due to sell to the public.

Doughnuts, akara, fried yam, poof-poof, fried fish, spring rolls, burns, and so many of them. These edibles can stops anyone from a terrible hunger at once and at the same time you have taken them. But later on becomes a sickness to our health because of the choices of ingredients the vendors used like wrong vegetable oil, majorly and many other wrong ingredients. It doesn't go well with me and my health at all. So I keep a long distance from them all.

I think that's the balanced way to keep our wellness. Making sure you know the body language of one's health or body, it goes a long way to keep you far away from sicknesses known and unknown. I make sure all the time to avoid a senerio that can cause ill health to me by choice of food or pastries, I rather eat fruits and vegetables. Even in my home, I make sure some vegetables and fruits are included in my daily food choices....


Pawpaw and unripened plantains are good choices.

But it all depends on the individual make ups. Like recently, drinking of soda irritates my body system, other people maybe quite comfortable with anything of such, Good for them but for me, it's a no go. Before now, I used to love drinking soda but I no longer do these days!.

To me now, I'm choosy of what suits me and what does not go well with my body and my health. I thank God that I can understand my health make ups and balancing this much.


These are pastries, a class of food I believe making by myself with quality vegetable oil and other ingredients is the best way to enjoy them than from roadside vendors.

Thank you for reaching out to my blog. what is your reaction about buying pastries from roadside vendors.

Seriously, one has to be careful of what he or she takes in. One thing i don't like and my body dislike it so much us frying and reusing all the low quality oil. I can easily get sick if i eat some good side food, especially one fried with this type of oil.
Health is important to life, and we all have to keep check to stay healthy.

That's exactly why I'm transmitting my views about such foods. I thought it was happening to only me.

You see, Lower ranges of vegetable oil are filled up with cholesterol which is the root cause of such occurrences.

They're bound to give such reactions to our bodies that is it. Not advisable to consume such oil.

Yet our government is not checking up on such killer oil or deep fries..

Thank you for checking up on me.

Thank you, and it's appreciated 👍.

Deep fried anything and it is going to cause some health problems, we have strict rules with important regulations in the UK of who can sell food to the public as well as how they do it.

It is not a perfect system but it helps.

Have the best day

Thank you, sir,
I understand that the system of life and living in your country is very much organized.

Here in Nigeria, hahaha 😂, anything goes, no sincere and effective market control agents. Even if they're, they're prone to bribery. We only trust God and our understanding about everything we know. The government is not doing their job at all.

Thank you for curating my job, I'm impressed 👍😁.

Seems like we're on the same page. I'm careful the type of foods, pastries and the rest, that I consume. My body system is very as sensitive and can easily trigger off stomach upset if I eat some of these roadside foods, even foods prepared at events.

I'd rather skip the foods and save myself health issues.
!BBH

Yes oooooh, that is the level iam. Immediately I eat them, my heart will be beating faster than normal. (Palpitations).

Based on the lower quality vegetable oil they use to prepare such. I have a particular brand I use...free from cholesterol so I'm very careful.

What's the brand's name, maybe I can try it.

My sister, TARA VEGETABLE OIL IS GOOD FOR ME.

NOT THE ONE IN THE BIG SATCHEL, NO!

BUT THE ONE IN THE BIG CONTAINER. IT'S CHOLESTEROL FREE FOR MY HEART...OO.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT'S MY VEGETABLE OIL BRAND!

THANK YOU.

Our street have been overcrowded with many different food vendors that sale virtually all manners of consumable that are often time poorly if not totally neglect the hygiene side of it. As a result many individuals have contracted unexplainable health issues. To avoid being a victim, I avoid them totally.

Yeah, you are very right. That's my stance. One has to carefully protect his or hers self from such food. Thank you.

Hey, I agree with you about healthy eating, but I have to admit those donuts in the first photo look pretty tempting 😂 . I know, I know—it’s just that I often end up falling into the clutches of street food vendors, lol!

Regards.

😂😂, Yes brother, those doughnuts looked so tempting, that was why I was drawn to the vendor in the first. I was almost pointing on the ones I would love to buy, when I suddenly remembered that their oil for deep fries had always affected my health.

Then I quietly withdrew from there and just told her, "sorry".

Then I left the venue but was still remembering how beautiful the doughnuts were. That was why I captured her wares and decided to write about it. 😂😂, thank you!
