✅Health is Wealth: The Golden Art of Eating Cheaper and Cleaner! Part 1
✅>Motivational Mind: Seeing the Elephant in the Room>
In America, we need to rethink how we eat, for we are dying from overeating. For the first time, our life expectancy ranking is decreasing, not increasing for men, from 74.2 years in 2020 to 73.2 in 2021, and for women, from 79.9 years in 2020 to 79.1 in 2021. We are now dying younger as we grow fatter. Women still outlive their male counterparts.
When I lived in Los Angeles, I don’t recall seeing many obese people. One day, while hiding from the gangs who bullied me, I sat by a Samoan friend who looked like a Sumo wrestler. Suddenly, I noticed that no gang members ever bullied him. From that point on, I ate brunch and lunch with him. Brunch in the Los Angeles school system was a 45-minute break between 2nd period and the 3 period, before lunch. Fast forward to now. America will soon pass Somoa in the obesity rate. America is becoming the land of giant sumo.
I have lived in Oklahoma most of my life, where I noticed that people are becoming bigger and bigger each year. Many Oklahomans look like Somoan Sumo wrestlers.
When I visited Colombia, I never saw one obese person. It is cheaper to eat out than to cook at home, for restaurant food duplicates home cooking. Most love to eat a special bean stew that every mother creates with a unique secret recipe. Colombians don’t eat much-processed food and are ranked 78th in obesity. Being cheaper to eat out and very healthy too, food replicates home cooking. In American restaurants, we fry in oils, add sugar, and don’t eat vegetables. When I was a kid, some restaurants used to duplicate how mothers cook. Not anymore. Americans, welcome to Samoa!
