in the western societies like north america and Australia I am sure it is the chemicals who does have a big and huge effect on the body but I also think that those western soecieties are also like that, they are made this way. In quebec, specially in the city I live, English and French canadians eat the same food and you can see that in Montreal people are alot more skinnier than Ottawa and they eat the same kind of food but in Montreal, people walk more than Ottawa and the french canadians are more skinnier than the English canadians. In france, people drink alot of wine and maybe that has a big effect on loosing the extra calories that they eat during the day specially the cheese. |
I don't know about China, but in France people watch out when they eat.
Health is a major concern and they actually exercise.
Plus the government actually does its job when it comes to informing people and surveillance over manufacturers and imports!
On the other hand I don't understand why we should praise what the Lebanese do cause I'm really sure that we have one of the biggest ratios of heart and cardiac problems over total population in the world.
True Lebanese food is certainly the best when it comes to healthy and stuff, but our ancestors surely did not eat meat two times a day nor they had all those fried dishes we heavily prepare nowadays.
80 to 90% of the Lebanese men I know have cholesterol/triglycerides and of course, the famous kerché.
Ma the famous saying goes :
