“Undertones of the onslaught against African Uganda culture, branding it inferior; in some cases, likely sub-consciously and from an insufficiently informed perspective, could be decoded from the paper.
The mention of kalo, case in point, was deceptive, misguiding, if one has insufficient understanding of Ugandan cuisine.
When not eaten as porridge, consumption of kalo is so versatile and dynamic in the range of sauces and other foods it is paired with.
Similar as rice is paired with various sauces in the Indian and Chinese cuisine; and Bread in the Sudanese cuisine.
Nothing really unique about kalo as a staple, that is different from other staples elsewhere; perhaps more nutritious though, if of millet.
Polygamy also made it into the paper!
Ain’t that a bit of a stretch to infer it as a contributor or determinant of food consumption behavior that puts men at risk of getting afflicted with diabetes?
Then there was the whopper, branding Ugandan women as naive, with insufficient wisdom to know better than to “prepare unhealthy food for their husbands in order to retain a husband.”
As in rather a diabetic husband?
The sample size for the paper was 45 people, whose perspectives were relied on by the authors and extrapolated to hold true for about a million people, the combined populations of Busia and Bugiri; and by extension Uganda’s nearly 50 million people.
Is the sample size of 45 people sufficient, in this context?”
