Mexcian Living: Traditional Mexican Eating
By Douglas Bower
Specialise In Wedding Venue I popped the big question to my girlfriend recently and I`m very happy to report that she said yes. We are now in the middle of trying to find a suitable wedding venue that can cater for our special day. We`d both like to find a stunning establishment that can provide us with everything that we will need on the biggest day of our lives. Looking around I have seen a number of locations that Specialise In Wedding Venue. One such place is situated on the edge of the Brecon Beacons and the first impressions of this establishment are very favorable. Once a 1930`s detached private property this magnificent building has now been turned into a country hotel. This fine location can comfortably cater for wedding parties of all sizes and they are renowned for their excellent levels of customer service. The cuisine provided by the hotel that Specialise In Wedding Venue can only be described as being superb. Guests to the celebrations can stay in one of 28 en-suite bedrooms so there will be somewhere for people to rest their weary heads after all the celebrations have ceased. The following morning people can catch up on the previous day`s activities over a good hearty breakfast. We are all excited about the prospect of our forthcoming wedding and the more we look at locations that Specialise In Wedding Venue the more the dream becomes a reality. Hotels Newtonmore Scotland holds a special place in my heart. It`s the country I got married in and I love the spectacular scenery and warm welcome that greets us whenever we return to this beautiful country. A fine selection of accommodation is available for visitors to the various parts of bonnie Scotland and in Newtonmore within the Cairngorms National Paark one guest house is doing a roaring trade. It has been completely renovated and it certainly stands out amongst the other Hotels Newtonmore. Luxurious double rooms complete with en-suite bathrooms await lucky guests and the hosts welcome their customers as if they were old friends. What more could anyone ask for when staying in the country than a guest house that caters for their every whim. Delicious breakfasts are provided in the morning and fine pubs are eateries are located close by. Travelers looking for decent types of Hotels Newtonmore will find the guest house is just what they need. It`s set in a prime location with amazing scenery all around and it will quickly feel like a true home from home. If I`m up in the area in the future I`ll be booking this guest house as id much rather stay in such glorious surroundings rather than choosing one of the other Hotels Newtonmore.

Therefore, I have been looking at my diet and have been doing so in the context of Mexico where my wife and I live. What I mean is that when you travel around this great country you can see a wide range of fit to unfit Mexicans. For example, here in Guanajuato where there are fewer car owners (it is my theory that cars make you fat), there are more walkers and thus thinner, fitter Mexicans. There are some fat-butts but there are fewer than you would see in Leon or Guadalajara where there are more car owners, fewer walkers, and a Burger King on every corner. Here`s what I am thinking: · You take massive car ownership where driving stresses you out to no end. · This makes you want to eat to soothe your stress. · You see on each street corner an American (note I said American) fast-food chains, all you can stuff down your gullet buffets. · And there you have the formula for a bunch of diabetics in the making! I know, if you`ve been following my columns, you must think I am an anti-American malcontent. Well, listen very carefully to what I am about to say: I am an anti-American malcontent! Let me explain why. Here is just one good example about America with which I am malcontented: Everyone goes along in their humdrum existences pretending there is nothing wrong with America. When the truth is Americans are dropping dead by the lard bucket loads because of American businesses that could care less that you weigh 450 pounds as the result of eating at their coronary-inducing food establishments. Am I right here? Am I on the right track? Do you think for one moment that these American fast-food chains look at a Mr. Blimpy (like me) who comes through the door topping the scales at about 580 (I am really 280) and think to themselves, "Well gosh, maybe we should say something to this guy. He doesn`t look like he needs to be eating our triple-decker 100% fatty meat, four pounds of cheese, sandwich?" No they don`t! Their "bottom line" is not the healthy well- being of their customers. It is how much food they can convince you to buy. That is their bottom line. They care not about you but your pocketbook. These fat-makers are now in Mexico and are here to stay. They have hooked Mexicans just as they have Americans and it is showing in the Mexican women`s breasts. "The study published in the August 2004 issue of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention clearly reported more breast cancer in women who ate more calories, protein, total carbohydrates, sucrose, and fructose. Sucrose is table sugar and fructose is the primary sugar found in soft drinks (sodas); usually reported as high fructose corn syrup. Eating more fiber and starch (often referred to as complex carbohydrates), both only found in plant foods, meant less breast cancer according to the study." [1] The traditional Mexican diet, one of corn (tortillas), beans, fruits and vegetables, has been associated with lower incidents of not only breast cancers but of other diseases of Western Civilization. Let me ask you this: Do you think these American fast-food chains are offering a traditional Mexican diet? Breast cancer is on the rise with younger Mexican women who are the targets of the slick advertising of these American food chains. These women are the prey of the American marketing predators! So for your humble but Blimpy columnist it is more corn (tortillas), beans, fruits and vegetables, and getting off my pompi (this is buttock in Spanish).
