So class, the equation is:
Ghanaian Worker + Typical Ghanaian lunch = Sleep for the rest of the afternoon
I have direct experience with this phenomenon. After a lovely fermented meal like banku (fermented corn and cassava dough), I have to prop open my eyes with tooth-picks.
In fact most Ghanaian lunches from Waakye (rice and beans), fufu (pounded plantain and cassava) have that effect.
I think my brother may have a point because when I was in the
Dutch worker + light sandwich lunch = 30 minute lunch + Nonstop work ‘til 6pm!
Eureka, I have solved the reason why we have a productivity problem in
To elaborate on the equation:
Ghanaian Worker + Hot weather +Typical Ghanaian lunch = Lack of productivity for Mother Ghana
So if we could replace “Typical Ghanaian lunch” with “light sandwich lunch” we could in fact reverse the phenomenon and claim our well-deserved position as a middle income country!
Ghanaian Worker + Hot weather + light sandwich lunch = Productivity for Mother Ghana
Of course there is still the problem of the hot weather....

OMG U are hilarious! I just stumbled on your blog and I am hooked. Charle.. MJ (Rest in Peace) a Japanese woman... a little too accurate a description.
And oh yes... I tried to get my coworkers to join me in my salad and sandwich lunches. They scoffed at me and have left me feeling rather inadequate since I don't join in the carb rich lunches.
Thanks BrownAangel! So interesting that I thought about the Japanese woman transition comment here after we lost MJ and felt kinda bad...
Good for you on the salads/sandwich lunches! I'm also attempting to bring salads to work for lunch in an attempt to reduce my carb intake and waistline. My coworkers laugh about it and are fascinated that I'm eating "leaves"!
