[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Indian too and you sound insufferable -- like the typical Indian who believes ALL Indian things are superior to ALL other cultures. Sure Indian food is theoretically healthy -- lots of vegetables. Now think about how much ghee the average household is dousing those vegetables in before cooking them to death; and I'm not talking the special desi party foods -- I'm talking regular Tues. night dinner.

And if Indian food is soooo superior, please explain to me the pot bellies that are so common in the culture. Have you been to a desi party and seen the bellies hanging out -- I mean it's super attractive to see a 40 yr old woman with a belly hanging over the sari, to say nothing of the men with guts. If Indian food is so superior, why is that an issue?[/quote]

LOL. Most people in this country regardless of their ethnicity and race are obese. [/quote]

+1. I also didn't see where the OP claimed that Indian food is so superior. Did I miss it? I thought she was just giving examples of how she grew up, the types of things she ate, etc. And I actually agreed with it (although we aren't Indian or Asian or anything) - it really does seem a lot better than what most people eat in the US.

I guess I interpreted her as saying that American diets are really bad, not that Indian diets are necessarily very good. And surely nobody could argue with that.[/quote]
