Why are a lot of the foreign food products in the US so fattening?


So, every time I go to the foreign foods section in my supermarket, or go to Hmart (Asian supermarket) all of the foods and snacks are very sugary/fattening. They're also really salty. I've never seen anything that says "low fat" or anything, and even the restaurant food is full of salt (it's not just Asian food, it's Hispanic, Indian, Thai, ect.) Why is that???

I believe that their are several reasons for this phenomenon:

1) Education: Whereas in America we have had a lot of research examining just what is healthful & much access to that information, people in other countries are more concerned with basic survival & didn't have time for real research. So while our parents were telling us to eat our peas, their parents were saying, "You need to eat, have some candy." The logic being that sugar is necessary for growth*, but without the realization that peas have plenty of sugar in them plus other nutrients conducive to health.

2) Sociology: For most of the last several millenniums sugar & fat have been luxury items, & being able to afford them on a regular basis was one of the signs of having 'a little extra'. Even among the poor, most American-'ethnics' are richer than their friends back in their home-country & are quite happy to act it by eating foods high in sugar/fat.

3) Physiology:
(a) Most people in those areas do hard physical labor year-round without air-conditioning. The habit of eating high fat/sugar/salt foods was born of the necessity for energy & electrolytes in adverse working conditions.
(b) They/we like how it tastes & don't bother considering that maybe it would be worth the effort to develop a different palate.

4) Preservation: Their ethnic food manufacturers are based in their native land & presumably send their products over on cargo ships. Sugar & salt are effective preservatives, & so are added in vast quantities to foods destined for distant shores.

Tips to enjoy authentic Indian food

Are you planning to enjoy eating authentic Indian food in restaurant? In that case, there are certain aspects of the food and services that you should take into account to avoid embarrassment of ending up eating a wrong food served with unfriendly service.

There are many restaurants in London or in any city to serve you food from the subcontinent. But not all of them are necessarily good enough to serve a cuisine of your choice. They can also be rated differently on their record of service.

Authentic Indian food is the one that is cooked in keeping with the traditional methods of India. Such cuisines are prepared with traditional ingredients like certain vegetables and spices as well as milk and meat based products.

If you are first timer to the Indian food then we suggest that you should not opt for the restaurants that are too experimenting with the cuisines. The chefs in these restaurants tend to corrupt the original taste and aroma of any dish by bringing in some foreign ingredients and cooking method to it. Such cuisines may taste great, but you will miss original taste of the dish.

When sitting across the table in one of the restaurants in London to enjoy authentic Indian food, take your time to go through the menu. The Indian food menu is usually extensive because of varieties of offerings. You will find plenty of choices to make in appetizers, main course vegetable or meat based dishes and deserts. Many of the dishes are known by their main ingredients. So, you can choose the cuisines as per your liking of the ingredients.

It is a common belief that Indian cuisines are prepared in hot spices. While that is true, not all of the cuisines have hot spices. Many of the dishes, in fact, are cooked in lesser amount of spices. You can even order for preparing of the cuisines in fewer spices that are not hot in your mouth and stomach.

Find out all the details about the restaurant of your choice on Internet. You can have a glimpse of the food and services on such restaurant’s website. Do not visit the place without booking the table and knowing about their specialty dishes that you would like to have while enjoying authentic Indian food.

How Aztec Secret Works Indian Healing Clay Clays have been used for centuries to beautify and refresh when used as a facial mask. Cleopatra used clay from the Nile river and the Arabian desert over 1800 years ago, as part of her beauty ritual. German and Roman spas have been using clay packs and treatments in the spas they built 4,000 years ago. Many of these spas still exist and use clay even today. Pliney the Elder devoted an entire chapter of his Natural History" to the many uses of clay for pimples, black heads and skin tightening. Many famous naturopaths, such as Kuhn, Just and Kneipp have contributed to the revival of the uses of clay through their natural treatments for arthritus and skin ailgments. Aztec Indian Healing Clay A Brief History - The Worlds Most Powerful Facial The use of clay with apple cider vinegar can be dated back to the southern French priest of the16th century, Kneipp, and his natural treatments using clay packs and poultices. Throughout history the use of clay, specifically green clay or bentonite, is well documented. To learn more about clay, look for "Our Earth Our Cure" by Raymond Dexteit, translated by Michel Abehsera in your local health food store or book store.
