Lordy! ...what a shocking disparity of both foodstuff types and
amounts. That a family in Chad can even survive on that pittance of
food is astonishing. No Atkins, there! I guess it's no surprise that
food in US, UK, Japan, and China, have about the same percent of
pre-processed foods. Italy seemed only country of "Western" nations
to prefer whole real foods. A French example would have been
interesting.

Sadly, it didn't look like a lot of fresh or non-processed food was
going down in that first US family. Ugh. The Mexican family had an
abundance of fresh produce but wayyyyyyy too much Coca-Cola back there.
The kids are chunky too. I wonder if that is the reason?

The German family had a nice swing of items, with a nice large
assortment of produce, and I note the purchased water and other
beverages. That was always important when we lived there.

It's starting to look like there's a definite link between overweight
ppl and HFCS-loaded sodas. In a recent food exposé I watched, a NY
cabbie claimed he lost 30lbs by merely ceasing the consumption of
Coke, which he admitted he been virtually addicted to. While I
haven't really lost any weight, I've found it surprisingly easy to not
GAIN any weight since I cut sodas from my diet. I'm starting to look
for HFCS-containing foods and eliminate those, too.

HFCS may or may not be the culprit. Drink enough sugar and you are
ingesting lots of calories. Plenty of Coke addicts drink a 2 liter bottle
or more a day. That is about 800 calories a day or 292,000 per year.
Want tries with that?

Interesting, but I don't think it is truly representative. Just look at the
food in some of those photos. Can a family of four really consume that much
in a week? The German family seems overloaded with beverages and juices
from what I can tell of the containers.

The lower end of the scale I can believe though. The poor get very little.

Gee, I guess the millions of gals of HFCS soda Coke produces is just
gathering dust in some warehouse and fat Mexican kids are actually a
rarity.

But other countries don't use HFCS to sweeten their sodas. And for
every container of soda I've seen, the sugar content is the same,
whether HFCS or sucrose.

Assuming that the 292,000 calories is all excess, and gets converted to
fat, that is 83 pounds.

Is the calorie content the same? Aren't yellow cap Cokes sugar, too?

It points out very clearly the overconsumption of the more 'western'
societies. And not only overconsumption, the consumption of processed
foods. The Asians and Africans had more fresh food, the processed
foods they had looked more like dried ingredients, less food overall
and looked more normal in weight and in health. Even the family in
Chad were not unhealthy looking and they eat the least of all.

We really do overeat. And since the dawn of technology, we under
exercise, we barely do more than walk from
table to couch or car to office and if we do go to the gym it is just
a momentary pause in our sedentary lives.
I'm as guilty as the next. We don't have to grow our food anymore we
just go out and buy what we want.


Should tell us something.

Yes. And the sweetness level.

Yes, this is Passover Coke, sweetened with sucrose instead of HFCS.

Wow, that was a fascinating comparison.
That last picture saddened me tho'. No need for anyone living close to
starvation like that with all the waste that goes on. :-(

I noted that the one picture with the most obese family members had
several 2 liter bottles of coca-cola lined up along the back of the
shelves.

I tell ya', sugared soft drinks are probably one of the number one
"foods" that contribute to obesity!

That's just a personal opinion tho'. It's not uncommon for many people
to drink nothing but that, and they'll drink 2 or more of those 2 liter
bottles per day.

I'd read way back that fructose was worse for insulin resistance than
sugar and even discussed it with my doc'. She agreed.

It's why I tend to avoid eating much fresh fruit except berries,
tomatoes and avocados, and I limit even those. And yes, I do realize
that the natural fructose in fruit is not the same as HFCS. <g>

Maybe Coke should buy a clue and sell Coke made with cane sugar
instead of HFCS to the general public.

OTOH I gained 13 lbs in an 18 month period even though I religiously
avoided all HFCS-containing food/drink, and have done so for years.

(I have since lost 9 of those back though.)

I tend to agree that HFCS calories are somewhat worse for your metabolism
than the same calories in other carbs, due to a few particularly bad
metabolic pathways they encourage.

When push comes to shove, it's all sugar. As long as I'd known him,
hubby drank OJ by the 12oz glass (several glasses a day). To limit
sugar intake, his Dr. finally advised him to eat whole fruit and not
just drink the juice. She told him at least he'd be getting some
fiber with it instead of drinking his sugar straight (words to that
effect). He has stopped drinking juice now and doesn't eat the fruit
either. He did so many unhealthy things to his body that he didn't
think twice about because he didn't gain weight. The chickens came
home to roost a couple of years ago and he had to make a huge
lifestyle change if he wanted to continue living.

They were no where near starvation, AFAIWC. They looked wealthy and

I wasn't terribly impressed by that article. Two of the references were
from Wikipedia. I happen to like Wikipedia quite a bit, but I'd
hesitate to cite it for some article I wrote.

> I'd read way back that fructose was worse for insulin resistance than
> sugar and even discussed it with my doc'. She agreed.

I've read that also. However, regular sugar (sucrose) is composed of
molecules of fructose and glucose stuck together, one and one. If
sucrose is broken down quickly in the body, there isn't a lot of
difference between it and HFCS. The HFCS used for sweetening soft
drinks is HFCS 55, which is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. So does
sucrose break down quickly? Opinions are divided, but it doesn't
exactly have the reputation of "stickin to the ribs"!

> It's why I tend to avoid eating much fresh fruit except berries,
> tomatoes and avocados, and I limit even those.

Of course, you have your own diet, but for most people, a limited amount
of fruit is a healthy part of a balanced diet.

> And yes, I do realize
> that the natural fructose in fruit is not the same as HFCS. <g>

Exactly what is the difference? Take an apple. Roughly half the sugar
in a fresh apple is fructose. The other half is glucose and sucrose.
Roughly half the sugar in HFCS is fructose, the other half is glucose.

Some professionals say that. Some professionals say that there is no
significant difference. To my knowledge, there are no controlled
studies done on humans to test any difference. There was a reputable
study done on humans about a year ago. There were some articles in the
popular press citing that study. One of the authors of the study wrote
an angry critique, saying that first of all, that wasn't the purpose of
the study, and second, they hadn't tested HFCS!

That doesn't sound right to me. At some point, nobody used HFCS. It
hadn't been invented yet. It was used increasingly in the US between
1975 and 1985. Manufacturers in the US switched to HFCS for economic
reasons. The cause of the economics was all political:

1. We cut off all trade with Cuba
2. The US encouraged sugar production in the US by imposing high tariffs
3. The US subsidized corn production in the US, making HFCS cheaper here

In addition, HFCS is cheaper to use than sugar, since it comes in tank
cars and can be pumped.

I can't imagine why Mexican companies would have ever switched to HFCS
in the first place, since sucrose is half the price there and corn is
not subsidized. Unless, of course, they used to buy their sweetened
syrup from the US.

They make what is profitable. Sugar is cheap in Mexico compared to the US.
Thank the lobbyists for ADM.
Hershey is moving to Mexico for the cheap sugar.

Wanna do it in pounds? OK. 2 liters is roughly 4 pounds, so call it

Yes, in the U.S. we pay 2 to 4 times the world price
for sugar due to price supports. That's why we are
losing our candy industry to Canada and Mexico.

Mexico can import sugar from Cuba and we can't. Obama needs to lift
the embargo against Cuba, the situation has gone beyond stupid. I
can't believe we are still catering to the political wishes of Cuban
ex-patrons.

The rest of the planet is hotfooting into capitulate-to-capitalism Cuba,

the Hell out of it while the exploiting is good. Our govt, like the

Part of that is getting educated about nutrition. :-)
And that healthy food tastes good!

Whenever my co-workers see me eating a big pile of greens with my lunch,
they comment on how healthy it looks. <g> I have developed a true liking
for leafy greens and the things you can do with them.

Did you know that a nice handful of baby spinach leaves and other
greens, including lettuce, dropped into a bowl of tomato soup and wilted
well is utterly delicious?

And low cal as well as being satisfying. Add shredded protein source of
your choice to make it even more so.

That wasn't the case with him. He didn't drink soda, he drank orange
juice. He didn't eat french fries, he ate bacon. He didn't eat
hamburgers, he ate New York steak. He drank and ate in quantities
that were too large too often. He didn't do it in the vast quantities
that blimp out Middle America to the point where they need to drive
oversized trucks and SUVs. Based on his weight and activity level, he
thought he was fine... but he wasn't. All that (not from concentrate)
OJ was doing a number on his blood sugar levels and the meats were
clogging his heart. As a result, of "non-invasive surgery" he has cut
out OJ and juice in general and watches the total fat content in all
food although he does eat some things, like avocado, for the good fat.

We eat so little fat now that my skin is rebelling and I itch from my

That's the one. Take a better look, they're healthy. Not thin at all
unless you're used to looking at fat people. Their clothing is in
very good shape too. They are wealthy for people at the village

That should be "healthful", not "healthy".
