Here in the United States, we are in the midst of a world dietary change. We are getting to taste many new international flavors. We get nutrition coming here from everywhere. This is especially important because people here are dying from very bad nutrition. The conveniences of industrial foods and mass marketing means that people are eating fast foods without any real nourishment. Variety is something most white bread Americans will never appreciate. Were we not getting all of these new nutritional choices, we'd all be very unhealthy. (Actually Most Americans are not very healthy anymore. Too many bad Sugars, hardened Fats and Industrial Meats.)
Here is just the start of a very short list of the many wonderful new food flavors.
Shitaki Mushrooms, Bamboo Shoots, Lotus Root. Etc. from China
Fresh Ginger and Turmeric. India
Chilis, Salsas, Potatoes and Tomatoes. Latin America
Shallots, Chives, Garlic and Olives. Mediterranean
Miso, Tamari and Plum Pickles, Japan
Cloves, Black Pepper, Cardamon. Indonesia
Herbs, Spices and Natural Medicines from all over the world. And so on, and so on.
I myself was very ill most of my life. By the intervention of people who cared about me and my health and survival, I was educated about improving my quality of life. When I try to share my dietary recovery issues with friends, they think that they don't need to listen to me. Most people aren't willing to try the new and the different. Stubborn people just slowly starve and poison themselves with very easy popular bad foods.
Now all Super Cultures are inclusive. And we as a world society, are helping to change each others habits and beliefs. Our need for change and simplicity is our only real chance of survival, as individuals and as a species. Welcome to the new Super Culture of Informed Self Maintenance through learning, loving and living better. And with each other, we exercise patience. And through waiting, Dinner is served. Thanks.
Yo! I certainly agree.
