Conspiracy Theory on Snacks
I made a snack cart full of Asian food, mainly from Korea. It is a glorious snack cart and it sits next to my desk. It holds strawberry milk, Ramune, Dream Cakes, Ramune (not the American version), and so much more! But, in sampling all these snacks, I’ve made an interesting discovery.
Now, it’s no secret I’m on the fluffy side of life. I love food. A lot. I love exploring different cultures through their foods and experiencing new tastes daily. Food is almost a hobby, at this point. But here’s the thing- too much food turns you into a fluffy marshmallow.
There’s nothing wrong with that!!! I’ll be writing a big entry on self love, soon, which is another soap box. But let’s get back to my “discovery”.
Seriously, one snack and I’m done. One drink and I’m satisfied. One item and one item alone makes me content. This ranges from the seafood chips to the Sparkling Wine Kit Kats.
However, when I eat American food, I am never satisfied. I never feel full. I wonder why this is?
If you look at Asian cultures, their figures (as a whole) are a bit thinner than Americans. Their portions are smaller, for sure, as I live in the Southern United States where everything is gigantic. But how is it that I can’t eat one small bag of Doritos and feel the same level of full as a few Happy Panda chocolate cookies?
I have a theory. The US is huge into making profits over anything and everything else. I think that the food in the US is specifically engineered to make us want more, get addicted to it, and eat more for greater profit. Health? Pffff. Profit? Yes.
Since moving to Asian snacks (Thank you HMart!) I’ve lost about 3 lbs. I’ve not done anything except eat less because I’m absolutely more satisfied and full more of the time.
This is just a theory. I have no science to back this up. But I tell you what, I think the US wants us unhealthy, obese, and paying to be so. No one likes to feel hungry.
Just a thought. Feel free to comment!
