I don’t have a perfect diet, i binge on average a couple of times a month, sweets. I eat a lot of good stuff though, I think I have my macros figured our more or less for me. I don’t eat much of the worst stuff other than your regular desert item here and there, or drink non-nutritive beverages much, sodas, or alcohol.[/quote]
Food cravings is cultural. Many cultures don’t like sweets like cakes. My friends from Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand (the tropics where there are delicious fruits) prefer eating mango, durian, lychees…. over a chocolate lava cake for desert.
Tropical Latin America is different because of the heavy western food from Portugal and Spain.
Japanese cakes/pastries are unsweet and light compared to American cakes. There is Japanese bakery on Convoy. Real Japanese sushi does not use the heavy mayonnaise type sauce that Americans like. When the food is natural you can taste the quality of the ingredient and the skill in preparation better.
So it helps to be an internationalist elitist (I’m reclaiming the word) and study different cultures. Adapt what is best as your own. That’s what we as Americans do best.[/quote]
You are internationally full of yourself! Missed the point. It works pretty good for me! You are blinded by your elitism if you don’t see moderation as being as possible in US terms as in Asian or any other cultural terms. That we have more bad available may or may not be something to argue. Doesn’t matter if you don’t use too much of it.
