One of the widespread misconceptions is that every obese person can, and should, strive for slenderness. In reality, most people who lose weight struggle to maintain their losses over time. Moreover, expecting everyone to conform to one ideal body size ignores biological diversity. People vary in their natural weight tendencies just as they vary in height, build, and overall health potential. Expecting all bodies to fit one standard is not only unrealistic but also unfair.

Health, therefore, should not be judged by numbers on a scale but by how well the body functions. There are unhealthy people at normal weights and healthy people who are overweight. The most effective and sustainable approach to weight management emphasizes gradual change, moderate weight loss, and attainable goals. Losing even 10 to 20 pounds over a year through balanced eating and regular physical activity can yield lasting benefits. In contrast, rapid weight loss through extreme diets often leads to short-term results and long-term disappointment.

Ultimately, true health is about balance, consistency, and well-being—not simply about body weight. The focus should shift from “thinness” to “fitness,” from “dieting” to “living well.”

Telling people to “just choose healthier” misses the point. In many Nairobi estates the only affordable option is ultra-processed junk which are driving diabetes and hypertension. We need taxes on junk food, clear labels & subsidies for real food so healthy eating isn’t a luxury.

Finger millet and amaranth are making a comeback as Kenya’s crops of the future — climate-smart, nutrient-dense and more resilient than maize or wheat. Experts say these traditional grains can boost food security and healthy diets.

There is no meaningful conversation about good nutrition when a significant number of people go to bed on empty stomachs.

It is undeniable that we are not fully food secure, and this reality makes it hard to push nutrition education in some regions where food scarcity is the bigger challenge.

Unfortunately, misinformation and disinformation about agricultural science remain major barriers. Many farmers and communities are misled into believing that improved seeds or scientific methods are harmful, expensive, or foreign concepts that do not align with traditional practices.

Such misconceptions slow down progress and keep communities trapped in cycles of low productivity and food insecurity. It is high time that agricultural science is given the space to speak truth and offer clarity on these matters.
