What is to blame for the modern epidemic of obesity?

-
The modern epidemic of obesity is a result of wide availability of processed food that contains a lot of sugar and fat. Because of the industrial development, such products have become very cheap and nowadays most people can afford them. Actually, in many cases products with lower content of fat and sugar are more expensive than the unhealthy ones. If sweet and fatty products were harder to get, obesity probably would not be such a serious problem in today’s world.

    You don't really point a finger at anyone. Whose responsibility is it that cheap and unhealthy food has flooded the markets?

    I don't think the obese ones would let go of sugary products even if they were harder to obtain. I assume the market demand is incredibly stable if it comes to sweets. You're biologically addicted to water, you'll pay for it what they tell you to pay. Wouldn't most people react the same way with sugar?

    So concluding from your paragraph, the problem and the guilty one is the whole food industry itself? And what would be the solution then, to go vege or raw food diet?

Would you like to work in the Madarin Oriental?

-
I would not like to work in this hotel because I do not think that I could find common ground with people who come there. They come from a very eccentric entourage with a specific hierarchy of priorities. In my opinion most of guests place money in the foreground and believe that if you are rich you can get almost everything. My attitude is actually an opposite - I claim that there is plenty of things that are more valuable. The Mandarin Oriental is not a place for me because I do not think that I could get on well with its guests.

Ginger root

Obraz
Ginger's been known in many cultures for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can significantly improve immunity. Used in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, for example it can prevent motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy. Ginger also enhances nutrient absorption. It can reduce various types of muscle pain, e.g. muscle soreness and is also said to significantly relieve menstrual cramps. Due to a high volatile acids (antibacterial and antiviral) content, it strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. Personally, I use ginger most often when I'm sick, as it helps fight infections. Next to the volatile acids, it contains a lot of vitamin C and minerals. The easiest way to use it (especially when you're sick and do not have energy to do anything more advanced) is making ginger infused water - some people call it 'ginger tea'.. However, to extract as much as possible from the root, eat it with a high-protein meal. https://www.livestrong.c

Taste the World Festival

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00082dp The podcast is a relation from a culinary event where music and dance play an important role. It shows an amazing relation between food and culture if various ethnic groups from different parts of the world. In today's world, in the era of globalization, we can try different countries' cuisine without travelling further than to the city centre. It is an amazing opportunity to broaden one's cultural horizons and eat some delicious and extraordinary foods. However, I think it would be a huge loss for us if we gave up all the historical and sometimes even philosophical aspects of ethnic food. Originally, the process of preparing a dish might have been long and complexed and many 'oriental' restaurants, omnipresent in the streets of most western cities, just deprive their meals of the initial meaning and just play with foreign spices. Obviously, it does not mean that all the things we eat have to be authentic and have a spirit
