Absolutely laziness and eradication of culture fi anyone buy this crap!
mi seh just wah day mi see run dng inna can nd haffi shake mi head like a suh ppl really become lazy that’s man can think fi have food like dis inna can a wait fi warm up,a things like this way cancer rampant as well
Nutten nuh wrong if dem meck deze not everybody is a great cook, and some ppl genuinely have a busy life. You can buy dem put down fi cold and flu season if you nuh want chicken soup. The company need fi investigate dem production practices, I always thought botulism in food was associated with can foods, not bottles and jars. Perhaps someone with scientific knowledge can weigh in.
