With just a little bit of knowledge of how to read food labels and what one needs to make the right choices with the money that he or she has to work with. Even the restaurants and the fast food chains are starting to offer more nutritious choices, likes fruit or vegetable salads. Subways are one that has really jumped on the bandwagon. People know the one with Jared standing there saying this deep fat fried sandwich contains 45 plus grams of fat surprisingly getting all that fat in there to begin with and compare it to the subway sandwich.
In an interview where they were talking with the producer of Sesame Street and they were talking about the cookie monster and how it was presented in a way to get kids to eat more junk food and more cookies. Now they have repositioned that whole program to where they are starting to teach kids more about healthy diet and nutrition. Health experts hope that one of the things that are happening is that there is awareness about nutrition and this obesity epidemic. Some people are just succumbing to obesity and the things that come with it like diabetes cancer and heart disease. It is good to see some positive changes taking place indeed.
We know that in some developing cultures there is a craving that some people have and most of us believe it is called Pica. It is where a person will have a craving to eat a particular food item and it does not always have to be a food item, it can be dirt or something that is not a food material at all. The theory is that people will have to crave for certain things that will provide a nutrient that is lacking.
In our culture it is metabolic for food cravings. If a person is used to consuming sugary sweets and that is all him or her to eat, their metabolism adapts and guides them to the foods they are used to consuming. An example of that would be someone who has gone on a vegetarian diet and eliminate meat from the daily diet temporarily. Then they were started to reintroduce meat and their stomach is upset. Their stomach is not used to digesting that kind of high proteins. They have adapted to digesting just non-meat simple and lighter items. There are food digestive adaptations to the kinds of food that one eats. One would have to believe that those are the kinds of foods that one gets used to.
It is complex and is another whole area to think about why people are gaining weight today, whether it is emotional or whether it is the amount of exercise they have done. The fact is that everybody that is out there studying this whole thing and trying to help people lose weight, each one of these communities have their own theories and their own recommendations. They all learn it in a different way; some try to understand the psychology and some try to understand the health and nutritional aspects of it. Now, if it was well understood we probably would not be having the problems we are having today.
