    Ital lifestyle has been around way before vegan lifestyle so Jamaicans are not shifting to a vegan lifestyle we have been cooking ital food all the time.

      Agenda IsReal thats true but just because ital has been part of Rasta culture for years doesn’t necessarily mean its been part of Jamaican culture as most Jamaicans arent rasta.

    Just came across this video and am learning about ital. The video was very interesting and makes me wanna try so much new food...
