Doggie Dreams

Picture of my bro's doggie, took it when I was back home few months ago, she's sweet huh?!?! Well, this post will have nothing to do with this cutie though...hehehe.....

Each time I go back home, there's always some sort of "trend" that people will follow to the point of worship. You know those people...;) Sometimes they do it with so much fervor that it completely amuses me. Most will know that food is topic that you can't avoid when you're home, in fact it's the main thing that preoccupies one's mind at all time. And with people like this, it's pretty much all the time..;)

Ok...here comes the ranting....:) (promise I'll TRY to make it as short as possible...)

Ironically, when it comes to all those glorious food out there in Singapore, people I know, are just not that interested in it. To be specific, it's a battle for them, there's food, but they are so particular about cholestrol this, fat that, oil this, sugar that, it's just IMPOSSIBLE to eat ANYTHING without someone remarking "it's too fattening". Ok...I'm just tired of hearing that phrase. It's also rather amusing at the same time. Their concern is not moderate, it's what they live for, it's consuming their commonsense as well...it's basically, eating them up!!!! (ignore the puns :) )

Let me give you a short list of what's no-no back home. Anything fried, bad! Anything with coconut milk, really bad. Sugar, there's always some excuses of it being bad but will eat with "moderation" (saying this with tongue in cheek)..hehehe.. Rice, bad, coz we all "know" all white foods are bad (all thanks to those fad diets out there naming white foods as culprits). So more or less, EVERYTHING is bad!!

Look, you've got to eat some time or another....besides what a way to live...NOT EATING! I wonder if the word "moderation" is mis-interpreted somehow??? hehehe.. I believe that everything is ok to eat, it's not what you eat, is how much you eat. I mean, if you want to live a "healthy" life by simply eating raw vegetables only, I'm sure somehow that would seriously mess up your body. Everything in moderation is my motto. It really doesn't really matter what you eat, as long as you eat in moderation, and eating balance meals, I think that's the way to go. Not going around starving your body of so-called "bad" foods and condemning others who would venture to eat them..*winks*

With all those funky food fads and diets out there...it's really impossible to send out the message that it's alright to eat foods with oil, with butter, with sugar, with salt, with red meat, etc....just do it in moderation...that should be the key....;)


Note: No, I'm not a dietician nor a diet guru....just expressing my personal opinion on a constant amusing observation..:) Did I mention....I saw a square watermelon as well...;) Next post...ehehhe
