Tigania women on Saturday celebrated the World Food Day in style, encouraging the Meru community to eat indigenous food to avoid lifestyle illnesses like cancer. Margaret Ikiara, head of CIFORD Kenya, said the only way the nation can attain food security is through planting and consumption of indigenous food, which is nutritious. The women from different villages selected elderly women who cooked traditional foods of the Ameru. Let parents teach their children about the best indigenous foods to eat, not those with chemical residues,” Ikiara said. She said she was passionate about eating habits and how people can return to the practice of eating indigenous foods that have no adverse effects on their bodies.
