Here's a thought. NOT a criticism of anyone, or anything - just a thought.
Those of us who live in "3rd world" countries, eat a lot of stuff which might not be considered "safe" in other countries. I regularly eat raw oysters on the beach, plus "Dynamite Shrimp" - cooked shrimp plastered in gin, vinegar, hot pepper, cilantro, you name it....paraded around the beach all day long in plastic cups.
How about the traditional "arepa" ( corn bread) stuffed with mixed seafood... on the highway to the east, at 11 am..
Well, you might say, this fella is courting death and destruction.
After 25 years of courting, I'm left on the side. I'm sure I've eaten some really nasty "crap" in my past, but I've never got ill. And my theory is that the human body builds up "resistance" - rather like an athlete builds resistance when running 10 miles per day.
What am I trying to get across? That a little bit of dirt probably won't do you any harm, from time to time. Don't think about eating it all the time; although beggars and paupers and street people and abandoned kids do so all the time over here.A chastizing thought.
When you take a
close look some of the processed grunge eaten in "Developed Countries"
( CheezWhiz, Devilled Ham, ready-made Mac'n'Cheese, SPAM, Wieners, etc. ) and you think what actually goes in to those "Food Items"...it sort of makes you think , doesn't it? Sanitised grunge, or Sun-dried Shrimp??? Mac'n'Cheese, or a slice of fresh tuna chopped from the fish as it is dragged from the sea??
And another thought, too.Every single American (read US) citizen who has ever been here in my house wants to eat chicken. No seafood, no steak, no lamb, no goat, no pork, no quail - CHICKEN.
And the last one to try got Chicken in coconut milk with Green Mango and Banana, spicy, vaguely Indian. Only problem was - he was born in Madras!
Again - thoughts, people. Perhaps I think too much!!
