Rant away! This is what this thread is all about!

I think you are proving a valid point - that eating/nutrition is VERRRY personal even genetic - that our genetic make up as well as our culture of either sedentary or active lives really affects how we "process" foods physiologically...

and yes people do idealize "foreign foods" mainly because they are always looking for that quick fix, rather than REALLY taking the time, maybe even experimenting to see what works...and then of course if it takes some time, they get frustrated...
