[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so hot outside, the last couple of days are brutal, but when you see what people are ordering in any given place it is hair raising. 
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
[b]- spicy food[/b]

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

Have you met Mexico? Or any temperature-hot country? :lol:[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
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!)[/quote]

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. [/quote]
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?[/quote]

[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! [/quote]
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.[/quote]

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! [/quote]

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. [/quote]
I don't know of you are having a heat stroke or what, but I am former Yugoslav pp and I am just politely reminiscing about our bread and foods. I love American food and most of the U.S. is not the UMC DC. I love the food here and the abundance and I am by no means aggressively criticizing American for overeating. All I wrote is I like spicy food and love bread and I did wonder what is with the bread police. If you follow any late night talk shows they make fund of bread police too, I am not sure why am I no allowed to make fun in a friendly jest of the bread police?[/quote]

Croatian here- I love bread. In Croatia I was a size 2. I moved to America and I am now I size 12 - which is my fault. I credit the weight wait Tom driving and not walking, abundance of fast food, laziness and emotional eating missing  home. Life is different in Europe (healthier) but it was MY choices which lead to my weight gain, I still love bread but don’t eat it in USA because you don’t have good bread. Flame away!

So. I love your burritos, though [/quote]
