Sounds like the Rasta Diet is similar to the Paleo Diet. Minus the Meat.

Yes, Flip. In the time before processed foods, people foraged for food and that would be what a Rasta would eat (as you said, minus the meat) and then later an agrarian culture grew cereal grains and fruits and vegetables. Again, what a Rasta would eat.

Much of the Rasta's diet comes from selected scripture verses that Marcus Garvey used as a basis for the Rastafarian lifestyle. Here is some information about the movement and Marcus Garvey. http://www.jah.com/rastafari-movement/

A true Rastafarian is about discipline in his way of living. The way he eats. The way he is true to his word etc. I am afraid that many of the dreadlocked people you see in Negril use the look as a camouflage to get close to people. Who dem cap fit, let them wear it.
