That sounds like heaven! We should move this to food forum, it has all the makings of "the fed my teen boys one drumstick and they are asking for pizza!"

I don't understand how eating bread makes a heat wave worse?

If anything, OP, you traveling by car to the restaurant to observe these people while you dine on air and water is making the heat wave worse.

Tons of breads, starches, gluten heavy foods and they load on them. Not everyone of course but many do and then the same people seem to leave the place holding their belly with both hands massaging it gently like they carry a baby and they waddle outside the place into the heat. What is the next step I wonder.. ER?

Why it is not a common knowledge that in hot heat and humid foods to limit or avoid altogether for the time of the extreme heat are:
- starches.. rice.. potatoes..
- gluten .. pastas.. breads..
- salty foods
- salt
- meat
- spicy food

Feel free to add to the list and add foods that are good and light.

Have you met Mexico? Or any temperature-hot country?

Or India? Or SE Asia? Or parts of Africa?

I'm going to guess OP is white. Very white. Because they are clueless about the climates and cuisines of places that aren't European.

I'm guessing she's from an Eastern European country where women chain smoke, nibble on bland food, and drink vodka.

I couldn't tell you what other people eat at restaurants because I don't notice...or care...or judge.

Hey.. insult OP all you want, but I am pp from Yugoslavia and lived in Africa... I live off of spicy food, we eat hot peppers(not me allergic but everyone else), we don't drink no vodka, sljivovica and Irish Whiskey if we are being posh! My kids' first solid food was spicy chicken curry. I love, love as do my kids and dh spicy food, I add Tabasco and everything and my kids think Sriracha is ketchup!(ok, but jokes aside, people in Yugoslavia do eat spicy food more than other Eastern Europeans that I've met(so just speaking for those I know) and even in my country we are an anomaly, bland food sucks so, so much!)

You are the one who is insulting. I’m Eastern European and Yugoslavia isn't a country. The former Yugoslavia works, but don’t insult the rest of us easteen Europeans.

OK. Sorry, I am from former Yugoslavia, I was just joking. Do you eat spicy food in your country of origin? Do you forgive me?

[b]

Yes I do, and thank you so much for the apology. We may not agree on politics but we can all agree that op is definitely crazy. I love salt and spice and bread!

Thank you for forgiving me. Bread, right? I love bread, don't know what's with the bread police here? We ate it all the time and nobody was obese or even heavy.

We would go to the store every morning for fresh bread. I don’t understand the bread police! I think it’s because maybe we walk more? I love bread and will never give it up!

Seriously. Tell this to Thailand and India where they eat spicy food in the heat on purpose in the summer to stimulate the appetite, which otherwise flags when you live in extreme heat with no AC. Spice makes you sweat, which cools you off. (A tad.)

Have you met Mexico? Or any temperature-hot country?

I am making a trip downtown today, and I will have a very spicy Mexican salad and salt-rimmed margarita in honor of OP.

Can't wait.

Might rub my belly in advance.

Are you trolls? Or are you truly aggressively trying to criticize Americans for overeating, not walking as much, being obese, etc.? And if you think so poorly of Americans, then how have you come to grips with the fact that you live in America and are likely now American (assuming you have citizenship)? Truly curious.

In 2006 in Serbia, 55.7% of adult population was overweight (19.0% of examinees were obese). I believe the study blamed bread and spicy food.

Agreed! That's why I have a flock of neutered sparrows do my hair in the morning, and I spray-paint on a full coverage outfit. It's very high tech.

The best thing I ever did, though, was have all my pores surgically removed. Secretions are for the vulgar.

If it was a country when you were there, it’s fine to say Yugoslavia. I don’t get people sometimes.

Yep, that it was. I was born in the good (or bad) SFRJ.

No, I think that was you.

The study cited associations with "Lower educational status, marriage status, rural area of settlement, third and fourth level of household income and irregular main meals."

As everywhere in the world, fast food and overeating has become part de jour! The plates are so huge today, pizzas are enormous, people have lost their minds there too. I have seen it, and I traveled all of former Yugoslavia in the last 5 years.

Thinly veiled criticism of fat people. Well played, OP. You got the attention you wanted.

Only someone low class would need to do this. Those with class simply will themselves not to sweat.
