low fat entrees

[Guest guest]

Not quite so fast. On the network news today, there

was a report on restaurants. Some fast food

restaurants in the US have made low fat entrees

available in the past few years. The trouble is that

people are not buying them. Instead they are

purchasing the high fat foods. ultimately the

consumer drives the marketplace and in the US the high

fat wins along with the big behinds. (I'm thin)

 

Regarding obesity, schools in America are now banning

the sale of fast

food and cola drinks in the school canteens. Do you

know what they are

opting for instead? Indian lassi, a buttermilk

preparation very popular

in North India. I think in the next few years we may

see a revolution

in the way food is related to health. We seem to be

returning to our

roots after a failed experiment that has killed

millions all over the

world.

I hope so. School food when I was a child 40 years ago was good, hot,

nourishing and cooked on the spot. There was no Taco Bell on the grounds and

students did not have all the candy and coke machines. We were all a lot

thinner then, too. Did you hear about the school district that was

"compromising" and filling the coke machines only half full of sodas and

half full of the high fructose corn syrup juices? They were just bragging

about what a giant step they had made in children's health on the news. It

made me kind of sick. High fructose corn syrup is the work of the devil, I

swear...
