talking about not being able to moderate the intake, you should
see what was going on in the hospital...
a guy who just had a stent put in, was asking his wife to go get
him some chendol..
a family who took up 3 (THREE!!!) visitor's lounges were
stuffing their faces with Mr Bean pancakes, chips, junk food and
loads of soda.. their children (as young as 2) were guzzling down
the oversugared crap.. and one of them who was morbidly obese,
short of breath was telling people that out of 10 siblings, 2 have
passed away... i bet from heart attacks or diabetes... the rest of
her relatives were mostly obese.. and eating way too much junk
food
you see patients with their IV sets still in their veins
guzzling down nasi briyani and prata, nasi lemak with way too much
curry and drinking loads of soda in the food court...
not to mention a man who looked like he had half his face sanded
off, wrapped up like half a mummy, was way way WAY outside, past
the parking lot into the main road to smoke with a friend..
moderation?
lots of people don't have any...
I think the government should be educating these farktards
instead of killing our food culture. It's been long proven
that food plays an important role in history and culture.
I bet you if you ask a Japanese to change his recipe to be
healthier, he'll most likely tell you to fark off.
This reminds me of a old lady selling char kwey teow at
McPherson market many years ago..... she should be dead now. She
fries her char kwey teow with lard. This girl asked her if she can
use something healthier instead of lard and the old lady told her
in hokkien " This is how my char kwey teow is cooked. I don't want
to sell it to you because you don't know how to appreciate it"
I applaud that old lady. She takes pride in her recipe. The
irony is that char kwey teow is so good coz of the lard. Which is
the reason why I stopped eating char kwey teow in SG coz the taste
is all different. I only do so in KL -_-"
