Delicacy of the Grave

Silently present in our food is the delicacy of the Grave, a dangerous issue.

According to Nutrition Epidemiology

On roads in cities and in the countryside in Kenya, the smell of fried chips, ugali, nyama choma, githeri, or sukuma wiki attracts all who want to eat.

Every day, many Kenyans find fast foods meaningful because they bring culture, ease, and comfort. Even so, there is a serious threat hidden in these delicious foods: a continuous and ongoing exposure to toxins.

Based on Dr. Stellah Bosire’s writing for the Daily Nation, our food system is secretively working against us. Although our food can look the same, it may introduce us to some harmful toxins, pesticides, heavy metals, and questionable additives. There are many food risks, such as diseases in green vegetables, tainted cooking oil, and used frying oil that do not always show signs.

Food infection is possible with Salmonella, E. coli, or typhoid fever because informal food preparers usually lack access to clean water, good sanitation, and cool storage. Those especially at risk, for example pregnant women, children, the elderly, and immunocompromised people, can suffer more from regularly eating foods that have become contaminated.

Running or any simple activity can prevent many illnesses. Along with changes in overall food rules and safety, people should also change their habits to prevent diseases. Doing little physical activity regularly can lower the health risks.

By improving metabolic function, tea helps liver and kidneys eliminate toxins from the body.

Taking a walk, doing indoor workouts, or stretching can matter a lot, particularly to those who rely on meals that are both low-cost and risky.

In the end, we must realize our responsibilities. “Delicacy of the Grave” is something more than a saying—it happens due to poor maintenance of structures, negative food policies, and life imbalances. Since all of us have a role in public health, we should ask for clean food, safe vendors, informed eaters, and a society that focuses on health instead of working long hours.
