Eat food twice as much if it has 50% cals
Indian middle-class , US and many other nations are in big trouble. Not on a/c of many other issues but just because of the kind of food they eat.
India may or may not be IT superpower but it surely rules the world in diabetes.
Bill Maher said,“The food that Americans eat. Americans get huge amount of calories, they're malnourished. This is where our illness comes from. And this is Bill Clinton's problem. I mean, people do not realize what is going to kill them. It's the food. I'm telling you. The call is coming from inside the house. It's not going to be (UNINTELLIGIBLE) or monkeypox, West Nile, it is the food. It is not something -- you know, shark attacks, it's the buffalo wings. I wouldn't touch a hot dog unless you put a condom on it. This is what people are not getting about the way we live. That our food is killing us. Food is either poison or medicine.“
A brilliant artist, Steve Breen, sums up the situation well. McDonald has slashed the calorie content by 50% in their ubiquitous French fries. What do we do? We eat twice as much!
A small sidelight. The order taker in the picture is pencil thin. I wonder why almost all of them always are. We of course ignore it when we order.
