[quote:Anonymous Coward 18376798:MV8xOTM1NzU1XzMyNDkwODYwXzM3MzI2MkIw] [quote:Earth Daughter:MV8xOTM1NzU1XzMyNDkwNjk5X0MzRThFQkQx] This sounds gross, but people consuming lots of fast food have developed an addiction to the taste of fat and grease. I read something once, I'll try to find the article, that stated how when greasy food is consumed, the texture, the way it coats the mouth, and the taste, creates a feeling of satisfaction. So people get addicted to this feeling satisfaction (greasy mouth syndrome). This further pulls them away from consuming non-greasy things - like vegetables, because they don't get that same satisfaction fulfilled and therefore think they are still hungry. Anyway, bad idea to spread this addiction to other places. Humans had the tendancy toward addictive behavior. First it was for sugar, and now the grease. [/quote] When you're used to eating healthy fats/oils that nasty grease taste is the first thing you notice. :yak: [/quote]
Original Message
Though increasingly looked down upon here in the U.S. as a sign of slothfulness and low socioeconomic status, routine fast food consumption in some parts of the world is actually considered to be culturally desirable. But as foreigners progressively adopt the American fast-food lifestyle in place of their own native foods, rates of chronic disease are skyrocketing, including in East and Southeast Asia where diabetes and heart disease rates are off the charts.
