Today is a "sinful" day for me. I have been eating non-stop. Snack before dinner, proper dinner, desserts and then more desserts! Actually I am very full but eating is often a social event with others.
Feel guilty about stuffing myself with so much food. I often wonder about the recent years' trend of slimming advertisements gracing many pages of the newspaper. Hmm... Which is more wasteful environmentally --- to finish all the food even though we are full and then spend time & money on the slimming programs OR to eat only what we can and leave the food unfinished?? I have been brought up to finish the food but often I think the latter option is less wasteful environmentally though still not the best choice. Imagine all the resources that go into slimming programs.
Slimming centres are developed nation fad as people eat more than they need. While on the other side of the world there are people dying from hunger. Probably the best option is to order the right amount to be able to fill the stomach and yet enjoy the food. This way we do not need to face the dilemna of leftover food and slimming options while saving the environment at the same time. This is the reminder for myself. Haha
yeah you are right.. social events are often centred around FOOD. Thats why I'm getting fat.. Some cheesy sociologist even equate the pleasure derived from eating to that of intercourse - "in and out, in and out"... :P oops. OK, yep, everything in moderation. :)
