Do you live to eat or eat to live? I’ve been on both sides of the saying and I now believe that what we eat defines how we live. I’ve been following Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and it’s been an eye opener for how little we know about the food we eat. And it’s even more embarrassing for how little we care to know about our food. I’m guilty of this and I know a lot more people who’re on the same boat with me.
Here’s a little push to your wake up call.
haha and i sense that i’m one of those on your boat with yourself
liked the talk by Jamie Oliver. Somehow asian food is made up such that no matter how badly we eat we don’t seem to balloon up that much – probably because after 2-3 meals of fast food we probably get real sick of it and starting heading to the hawker centres instead – where like it or not a rice alternative, whilst not always the healtiest, still achieves the goal of stemming the junk food tide and still provides some nutrients of sorts -grins- all hail subway!
I’m in complete agreement with you regarding Asian food, including Indian food. But then again, it’s more about exercising the right choices. I’m sure that Tandoori chicken and Fried carrot cake can’t be that good for you.
I made myself something simple but interesting for lunch today – frozen (peas, chopped onions, chopped green and red peppers) with one Morning Star Black bean burger patty and pepper, turmeric, chilli powder and a little olive oil. Threw it in the microwave for 2 mins and I must say, it worked out pretty darn well.
