Healthy polish food? [143]
this forum loves to go on about how "the west" eats such crappy food....well, take a look at this thread. Polish food is full of oil, butter, meat, meat, few vegetables, meat, meat, cabbage with meat, bread with meat, pierogi fried in butter, kielbasa with butter and meat....you get the point.
What Polish person eats that on a daily basis? I don't know anyone that does. I'm really wondering who is eating "kielbasa with butter and meat" - seriously, as Magdalena says, don't let your imagination run wild here.
there are plenty of fat asses in Poland.
Again, I'm wondering where you live, because I'm just not seeing them in Poland. There are some, but they're the exception rather than the rule.
in general, the high school and college age kids are thinner because they can't afford to go out to restaurants and end up eating a lot of goracy kubek.
Who is eating Goracy Kubek? High school kids will be eating what their parents provide, which given the Polish attitude towards making sure that people don't go hungry, they certainly won't be eating that!
College students - some will be eating rubbish, some will be eating like kings. Just like in every normal country in the world.
But do American high school/college kids really go to restaurants on a regular basis? If so, that certainly explains the obesity problem!
secondly, none of them own cars. they're hoofin' it well into their twenties, some of which never even get a car till they're in their 30's.
Are you actually in Poland whatsoever? I'm really not recognising this country that you're talking about. I know plenty of people with cars, and many people that don't have cars simply don't need one - what's the point in owning a car if you're living, studying and working in the middle of a city?
I know plenty of people in the UK who don't own a car despite being in the mid 20's. What's the point in many cases, especially if you live in a major city?
but haven't you all noticed that once they get to around 35.....everything kind of falls apart?
Nope, not seeing it. In fact, Polish women tend to be quite a bit thinner than their Western counterparts even when they're well into their 50's.
give all those 18-28 year olds cars like they all drive in America
Why would every 18-28 year old want to own a car in Europe? You might have noticed - we have actual cities with defined centres and life - unlike many American cities.
I'm really wondering what Poland you're living in, because it's certainly not the one I live in.
As for the few vegetables comment - again, I suspect you've ended up part of a very unhealthy Polish family, because I certainly get vegetables and veggie dishes rammed down my throat. Given that fresh vegetables are revoltingly cheap in Poland, it's kinda hard not to eat a significant amount of them.
