Eat your baked potato with a steak.
Eat your potato chips with cheese dip.
Eat your toast with an egg.
Eat your rice with a pork chop, or stir fry.
Drink your beer with pickled sausages, or pickled eggs.
Didn't want to butt in (again) but I just couldn't resist this.
From my observations at any Italian fast food joint (including McDonald's Italy):
Eat your hamburger with
french fries a SALAD.
Eat your steak with a
baked potato SALAD.
Eat your potato chips with cheese dip. DON'T! Do not eat fried carbohydrates; you add the fatty, fried oils to carbohydrates.
Your liver cries murder.
Eat your toast with an egg. Eat you EGG with toast... more importance to egg than toast...
Eat your rice with VEGETABLE stir fry (but, why go chinese? what about europena recipes?)
...combine the pork chop with stir-fried greens for example ...
It isn't a matter of good&bad, but of bad combinations.
Now read THIS...
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20014764-10391704.html?tag=contentMain...The CBS Early Show's Dr. Emily Senay says studies show that the diet, which originated in Italy and Greece, reduces metabolic syndrome - a cluster of symptoms that puts people at a higher risk for heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. People who adhere to it are also at a lower risk for obesity, fat buildup in the arteries and high blood pressure.Now, I am not an extremely religious person, in the sense that I do not go with my head bowed down simply because am man dressed in black tells me to.
However, these words leave food for thought:
Daniel, 1:12-15 "12 “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.” 14 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king's food."
Also, John 6:35 "...I am the bread of life..."
Now, why would Jesus say BREAD when he always used the allegory of
fish or
lamb in his parables?
So, a single cardiologist may have had an interesting idea but before he can prove the world 6 billion people have been living off the wrong diet...
...it's a bit of a long shot...
