You know what else was a shock for me coming back from China? How badly the food here made me feel compared to the food in China. I've seen their markets, I know how infrequently they use refrigeration, I would have expected their food to make me feel sick, but North American food? I was floored at how much better I felt on the chinese-deep-fry-everything-covered-in-oil diet, than I was on North American food. It took me longer to stop feeling sick coming back than it did heading there. And when I felt sick over there, it was when I had a burger, or a pizza, or something "western".
It's not the calories, it's our food. There is something wrong with our food.
