Geez, it's high time how we eat our food needs to evolve. People are practically eating themselves to early deaths. Even the Asian favourite staple food of rice and dishes is going the wrong way. Wheat based food, noodles for Asians and pastas for west is another killer. Forget burgers, fried chickens, french fries and pizzas already. What are we people thinking??? It is scary. Salt, msg and cornflour drenched Chinese; chilli, coconut milk and oil drenched Indian and Malay food; potato, cheese and flour based Western food, it is just so totally wrong, completely wrong. These were foods of those days, when people walked for miles, farmed and prepared food from scratch, did loads of hard menail labour, sweated and drove their bodies to extreme exhaustion. Decades ago when megamalls, cold storages and frozen food were some ridiculous notions. Now the world has gone really lazy. The only physical exertion we probably do mostly is to swivel in our office chairs and lift our hands to type on the keyboard. Do we need those burritos, chicken rice and nasi lemaks anymore? The only exercise we get to do in the mornings is to jump out of bed with the alarm ringing and into our cars or buses, cursing the jams and those idiots who delay us from reaching work 5 mins before punch time. The same goes in the evenings, rush home, grab dinner and plonk on sofa to catch some tv time before knocking off again. We humans, people, lead a miserable miserable life. That state of mind doesnt help either. Depressions, frustrations and other forms of stress pulls us even lower.People are just left a shadow of what their psyches or humanity are meant to be.
We need to change. Cut working hours by half. That includes school hours too. Take more time be out there with nature's flow than fighting it. I think it is atrocious that small kids are plucked out of bed before sunrise, bundled into uniforms and packed off to school like some machines. Only to reach school and made to stand in line just to be programmed by a shaky, pyschologically challenged school system and turned into robots. It is treachery of human soul. And dont even talk about what they are fed in school canteens. Atrocious.
Humans are strange creatures. More than half of us just follow what the other half is doing without even asking why. And most probably the other half are the ones making money out of the other half followers. In the end they makes others rich and end up in premature death serving the other half.
Stupid really.
