I'm actually from Jamaica and I was there last summer and found their foods are EXTREMELY expensive! It's like $58.00 for a box of cereal. Or a bottle of milk is like $200.00 a bottle! Can you believe that?! I bet they have poverty down there because how are they supposed to survive if they can't afford to buy groceries for there family? I bet you they must have high paying jobs to make sure there's food in the fridge. i live in Canada and gorceries don't cost that much. You could buy like $100.00 worth of groceries and they last for a few weeks. i bet you the jobs they have in Jamaica they must get paid a lot of money or they do overtime at their jobs. I could imagine living down there and struggling to provide food for my family because the groceries are way too expensive to buy. Also i wonder how in the world do the parents pack the kids lunches for school? Maybe some kids go to school without lunch. Maybe their parents can't afford it or their jobs don't make a whole lot of money.
