Recently I returned from a few weeks in the far north of Thailand. I spent my time in small farming villages and I ate as normal, but “native” foods. Fresh foods, not frozen or in anyway enhanced. Imagine my surprise when I returned to the US, and my uniforms were now a size too big.
Could be many reasons, but I believe that the food we are eating in America is killing us. The salt, calories, antibiotics, genetically engineered food, and growth hormones are all contributing to us getting fat. The goal of the food producers is not to grow health items, but the cheapest, most profitable crap we will buy. Any side effect of hormones like increased appetite is just a plus to them.
