Source: Kuwait TimesSept.迷你倉 07--Life is amazing. It is full of mysteries which are beyond the capacity of our understanding. Mind it, I am not talking about politics today. I leave Syria to McCain and Obama, and the Arab League, which is paying the bill of course. I am leaving politics to the G20 who are meeting to discuss various economics issues but who also discussed Syria at dinner over lavish buffets.My story is about food and the two extremes in life. Some people are dying out of hunger while others are dying of obesity. Wherever I go in Kuwait everyone complains that they are obese. Both women and men go on and on describing programs that aim to cut down on the food intake; they share tricks that can suppress the appetite. Everyone has become an expert on nutrition nowadays.Some experts advise us to drink warm water in the morning; others suggest -- to add some vinegar to the water; a third group suggests drinking grapefruit first thing in the morning. The recipes on weight loss and suppressing appetite are endless. Food is the topic of discussion in Kuwait today. All talks revolve around the difficulty to resist delicious temptations.Many people sit and tell the story of a day of dieting followed by another day of indulgence. Others take a shortcut and make gastric sleeve surgery. The side effects of such operations are not yet known of course because they have not been tried for generations. Their popularity has spread in the last five years.What is my major point here? Whereas t儲存倉ere are people who cut their stomachs in order to reduce their capacity, in other parts of the world, like in Africa and many parts of Asia, people do not know what food means. While some cannot stop eating, others are dying to get a bite. To the latter, it does not matter what kind of bite they are given by charity organizations. They do not even have potable water.And whereas one group of people is fighting to resists food, others are fighting to survive famine. Obesity and the gastric sleeve operations has become a fashion globally. In many parts of the Arab world, young people who could exercise and keep a balance diet opt for these operations instead. They are tempted by the availability of many food choices.Statistics are even more impressive. I just read that around $210 billion are spent on fast food in the US alone every year while it takes a bit more than that to help countries threatened by famine. I am sure if these statistics come out for Europe the number will be equally staggering. Of course, we in the Gulf overtake such numbers with much smaller population that is just a tiny fraction of the population of the US. If we calculate the food we eat and throw in Kuwait I am sure it will be a shocking revelation. And after the binge, we rush to doctors to reduce our stomachs or to balloon them.Have a good evening!Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Kuwait Times (Safat, Kuwait) Visit the Kuwait Times (Safat, Kuwait) at .kuwaittimes.net/ Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉價錢
