Thailändarnas kost

[Subcalva]

Carbsane har skrivit ett inlägg om hur thailändarna har ändrat sin kost de senaste 30 åren.



Man skulle kunna tro att fettmängden minskat men det har den faktiskt inte om man tittar på totalsiffrorna.

What of these carbs?  Surely these are those "special" carbs we are used to hearing about like the sweet potatoes, those more fibrous legumes, or the unrecognizable as corn maize?  Nope.  Rice is described as the traditional major source of calories and protein.  From here:
"Rice is so important to many Asian countries. In Thai, to have meal we say 'gin kow' which literally means 'eat rice'. In Thailand, rice is not a side dish, it is the central dish and all other things that you eat, support it. In a Thai meal, you generally eat more rice than anything else and it [rice] serves as the foundation for the food pyramid."
