If you enlarge the photos to full screen and study them carefully, you will notice that "Anglosaxon" families have a much higher intake of animal fats, candies and processed sweets as opposed to "Mediterranean" families.

I am sorry the pictures obnly show a partial view of the overall situation.

The first three pics show USA, Mexico and canada, respectively.
3 pictures, three nations, one continent.

Then comes Italy, with its huge array of fresh produce (look well, there's more fresh produce on the Italian table than the three North American tables combined).

If you compare the Italian table to the German and the English tables, you will see why I insist there is no such thing as "the European diet".
The Germans abound with fat meats like pork and beef, abound with beer and processed fruit drinks.
The English have so much processed sugars in their diet you will not be surprised to know they are THE most obese nation in Europe (never mind the pic of those four...)

Then comes China... which China ? When one nation is large as all of Europe and has four times the European population, to examine one family adnd claim "that's China" is oversimplifying...
...might as well have only one picture for North America and claim "that's America".

Japan sports a diet rich in rice and its derivatives, and A LOT OF fresh produce. That's how they live so long (so do we, by the way... Wink

)

Chad. Typical example of misinformation and political propaganda, as in "feel guilty!"

Where's Egypt ? Where's Morocco ? Where are Kenya or South Africa or Maagascar ? Roll Eyes

So Chad, to my eyes, is a non-photo, dismiss it.

Incidentally, the Italian pic is perhaps the only one to be 100% honest, it's the only one where you see cigarette cartons in the rear... Roll Eyes

Yes, caffeine increases the intensity of the ringing, but not as much as aspirin. One of the beauties of getting off of wheat is that I have no more headaches, and my joint pain has pretty much disappeared. Therefore, no more aspirin, which means I'm not always forcing the tinnitis to get more intense all the time.

Also, another niceness of being aspirin-free is that cuts and scrapes and bruises heal up faster.

Certainly looks familiar... sounds familiar... and it's been going on for some 30 years...

Dr. Pierre Dukan is a French medical doctor with thirty-five years of experience in clinical nutrition. While he began his medical career specializing in neurology, Dr. Dukan discovered and refined his successful weight loss method while working with over 40,000 of his patients in his General Practice. Since then he has spent his career helping people lose weight and keep it off forever.

You guys sure the Dr. from Wisconsin never went to Paris ? Roll Eyes

Or even anywhere on the East Coast ? Wink

The surge in Diet drinks & Low Fat/Low Cal food & drinks weve seen over the last 20 years isnt working, at all. These products contain only empty calories & leave the body craving nutrition, so, the tummy is full, but the mouth wants more to eat. & Eat we do.,.but the foods, even the vegetables, havent the Proper Nutrition, there are no minerals left in the soils, the plants are fed a ratio of "nutrients" that allow the plant to grow, but there are no minerals in the soil & NPK fertilizers make plants grow & produce lovely vegetables, theres just nowhere near the nutritive value in those vegetables we need, so, we crave More,

Organic gardening uses compost, mulched tree parts, wood ashes, & ashes have all the minerals the tree took up from the soil, as does the mulch, & composted foods return many good things to the soil., microorganisms that the soil needs to create healthy plants,

Industrializing food production may not have been the best idea, at least not to the degree we have done it, I can see how societies need Food Producers. Not everyone needs to do that, not everyone needs to be a doctor,or m3echanic, but to have our foods produced 2 days trucking away means we get stuff that hasnt even really ripened to its optimal point to eat before its harvested, even "Organic Lettuce" isnt food. I can toss a head of organic lettuce on the counter next to some I raised & the stuff I raised will be inedible in a matter of hours, but the store bought
Organic stuff will still be crisp for days, because it is sprayed with an enzyme to stop it from decomposing. We arent equipped to digest it, it digests itself. I can eat a big "Organic Salad" & my stomach feels bad, or I can eat mine.. & not suffer.

During the 50's, 60's, and 70's, the obesity range stayed somewhere near 15%. Several things happened in the 80's, though, that created a "perfect storm" for fat Americans.
-- Rapid "improvements" in wheat growing, to include upping the percentage of gliadin in the wheat. Gliadin is an opiate-like (meaning addictive) protein,.. a part of gluten.
-- The USDA came out with their dietary guidelines emphasizing grains. Remember the food triangle?
-- Increased advertising from wheat based companies (wonderbread, wheaties, graham crackers, etc.) who realized with the new lower costs of growing wheat, they could make money that upstaged Chevron as pikers.
-- Several governmentally-subsidized organizations started touting idiocy like low calorie, low cholesterol, low fat, whole grains, as the way to stay healthy.

All these kinds of things caused the obesity rate to do what it shows in the chart. As a nation, we are fat and getting fatter rapidly.

The sooner we can get off of wheat/grains/sugar, the sooner we can get that chart to get back down.

I agree. The fittest I ever was was when I worked at a brewery after college. In collage we had a meal plan that allowed you to eat as much as you wanted. The suppers were fatty cheap cuts of meat, lots of potatoes, boiled vegetables, sugary deserts. Snacks were toast with cheese wiz, boiled eggs, peanut butter and jam. And beer- lots of it. I grew kind of pudgy.
After college I got a temp job as a laborer at a local brewery. Some of the work was very hard- the kind where they worked you for half an hour and rested you for 15 min. Some was easy, just sitting making up boxes or "foam picking". They also gave you a beer at break, two at lunch, (they had two cafeterias so you could get four at lunch if you were fast) another for afternoon break, and two after work. There was also beer hidden in several places around the plant, so you could sneak a couple more during the day. Keeping count? That's ten beer at work alone. Then I would go home and drink two or three more. Say a dozen a day.
In the six weeks I worked there I lost all my pudginess, and gained quite a bit of muscle mass. Net weight loss of about 25lbs. (had to buy new pants and shorts)
Beer has wheat in it doesn't it? Wink

Beer has NO wheat if made preperly.

German Beer Law, Reinheitsgebot, was established in 1516 and sentenced that beer was to be made of water, barley and hops, and nothing else.

See Wikipedia.

If anyone makes beer our of wheat, it's their problem.
