Well, Indian Gram Flour is made from chickpeas but, according to the
label, a serving of canned chickpeas contains only 7% of your daily
carbohydrate requirement. However, it also contains 20% of your fiber
requirement.

Chickpeas are not a grain.

I may have to reconsider chick peas... You don't see a lot of fat
Indians.

There are a lot more fat Americans. ;-)
The new hospital system I work for has a LOT more Indians than the one I
used to work for. Not a single one (that I have met) is fat.

Interesting that India did not even make it on to this chart.

I guess it depends on the website?

First of all, the data on your site is comprised of relatively old data from
2002 and 2003, and is based on data gathered from routine health
examinations only. Notice how all the countries on your list are highly
industrialized countries with higher standards of living and access to
healthcare than other countries. There's not one developing country on the
list. In India as in other developing countries, access to healthcare,
especially for routine health examinations, is not readily available. If
you don't have people going in for routine well-checkups, you're not going
to have data.

Secondly, your extremely limited experience and observation of Indian people
in *Texas* is hardly representative of Indians in general, and more
specifically Indians in India. And the fact that you use that observation
to back up your claim is laughable.

She's succumbed to the voices in her head just like her buddy Pussy. There's
no point in presenting facts; it would only confuse her even further.

There's also the little issue of typical Indian lifespan.

Heart disease and diabetes are rampant in India, both of which can be blamed
on the Indian diet. It is *not* healthy. (Tasty, true, but not healthy.)

Every diet has the potential to be healthy or unhealthy depending on how much
of certain foods people eat. Not all Indians eat lots of fried food, ghee,
sweets, dairy or animal products. Some are vegans, while most do not prepare
meat at home in order to keep their living spaces "unpolluted". Most Indians
still subsist on staples such as rice and daal, hardly the catalysts for heart
disease or diabetes.

I have to say though that when I lived in India (around 15 years ago) most
people were skinny.

Bollywood actors are also several shades lighter than any real Indians
I've ever met.

They must keep them in the dark, like mushrooms. Or else they hill
them up, like white asparagus (to bring it back on the topic of food).

Well, a quick glance reveals that it deals with European and
Commonwealth countries and the G8/G20.

Ok.

I was not able to google a reliable site for fat indians...
I'm not a fan of chick peas anyway but was considering trying gram
flour. I have honestly never tried it.

In my experience, most fat Indians are relatively wealthy and gain most of
their weight from dairy and fried foods. Poor Indians subsist on rice, daal,
breads and vegetables, with occasional meat if religion or caste permit.

Yes, that was my experience of the people.
