On my Facebook account, I have many "friends" discussing food and lately I seem to have a lot of Chinese Food Friends centralize around Marie Laderta. Chinese food has a very good reputation on Oahu. Though there are some people that think the rice-heavy meals and fatty meat dishes are thought to lead straight to obesity and heart disease. But properly prepared, the very opposite is true: the Chinese way of eating is healthy and fulfilling, fights illness and prolongs life. The Chinese don't count calories and the real Chinese diet won't make you fat.
The rising levels of obesity observable in China are in fact caused by sugary, over processed Western food. So stop counting calories the Chinese don't have a word for "calories". They view food as nourishment, not potential weight gain. A 2000 survey found that Chinese people consumed 20 per cent more calories than Americans, but were not necessarily more active. Their secret is avoiding the empty calories of sugary, nutrient-free foods. The favorite Chinese Snack on Oahu seems to be Dim Sum. Tea Cakes. But on my Facebook, these people cover an awful lot of goodies
The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire occurred in the 16th century. The basic staples were quite varied and the basic native foods remain such as corn, beans, squash and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced many other foods, the most important of which were meat from domesticated animals, dairy products (especially cheese) and various herbs and spices, although key spices in Mexican cuisine are also native to Mesoamerica such as a large variety of chili peppers. On Oahu it is second favorite after Chinese food. Bon Appetit.
