If you want to diet like a Cuban, why don’t you move over there for a little while? I am sure you’ll love losing your freedom to eat what you want, to travel, and to say what you want.
I am 110% sure that many Cubans will gladly swap their rations for a chance to live anywhere. As a Cuban, I find offensive and patronising that someone has chosen to “diet” following the Cuban ration system as it was a fashion or a fad!! Maybe you should be aware that the ration system is nothing but a failure of the Cuban goverment to actually provide for its people. Also perhaps you don’t know that the rations are not nearly enough and Cubans have to supplement their “diet” with food in the black market or at outrageously inflated prices in the dollar stores and the farmers’ market.
I think you owe and apology to all the Cubans living in Cuba who dream of being able to chose what to eat.
Also, chilli con carne, leek and quesadillas ARE NOT Cuban dishes. http://frugal-life.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!74E2ED49D47DDB89!7773.entry
