patternoverlap Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Although Europe is not often thought of as the sugar capital of the world, it surprisingly ranks in the top two in every category surveyed. The EU produces 30,555 TMT of sugar annually, almost twice that of India, the second largest producer. The EU also consumes 24,427 TMT of sugar annually, over 10,000 TMT more than India, the second largest consumer. The EU comes in as the second largest sugar importer in the world, importing a total of 4,013 TMT of sugar. In the export arena, the EU once again dominates with 10,149 TMT exported per year. When we look at all of these numbers we see that the EU is the dominating sugar area of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theSun Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 When I moved to America I got fat. Luckily I lost some weight in high school. Growth spurt helped. But to be fair, there just isn't enough health and diet education, and for the longest time, people didn't know what they were eating. The FDA is poisoning us. it's a lack of edumacation and very aggressive ad campaigns by junk food companies. think about it. when's the last time you've seen a commercial for anything healthy that isn't specifically a "diet" food?

Exactly. Plus in just about all grocery stores, you have to hunt for the healthy stuff. The average person doesn't even know it's there. Why aren't the healthy products mixed in with all the unhealthy products, so consumers can make an informed decision when they are browsing? I think that's a big problem.

Rubin Farr Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 at my new job they bring in breakfast on fridays, usually it's breakfast egg burritos topped with more egg and maybe a slice or two of cheese. since they have started a weight loss initiative here, some genius decided on donuts today. me - "what's to eat?' them - "donuts." me - "is there anything healthy?" them - "well, there's sausage down there" yeah, like putting a breakfast cock in my mouth is really gonna make things better.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Everyone loves a bit of fast food but every day? That shit gonna do you bad. Best food ever is Mediterranean - can't beat fresh fish caught that day, the best tomatoes you've ever eaten and lashings of olive oil. OH yeah.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 not portugese mediterranean though I am sure you don't know anything about portuguese food, but you really don't need to, because it doesn't include burgers. I feel you americans need to start learning something so today i will contribute to your knowledge: Portugal is a mediterranean country. In it's own way.

baph Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Which diet are you referring to? "Portygul." Mostly kidding, though; I know how much seafood you guys consume. But there's a lot of seriously rich porky stuff, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that (unless you keep kosher, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a lot of seriously rich porky stuff, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that (unless you keep kosher, lol). We call it "Carne de porco à alentejana". One of our best. It's true that we have a lot of pork recipes but we also consume plenty of cow meat and mostly fish, as we have a strong connection to the ocean and fishing. It's really a diverse diet, believe me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
