There’s some pretty interesting stuff I found out about Arabs and their relationship with food. Firstly, Arabs as a tribe or as a community is plagued by a compulsive eating disorder. They have to eat… all the time. Doesn’t matter whether they’re hungry, or thirsty, or what time it is… they just have to eat. And that’s really one of the reasons why a large part of the Arab community is so obese. This includes young Arabs too.
Whats more interesting to know, and it’s a sad thing too, is that they purposefully waste food. That is, they never buy things in small sizes. They always buy things in family packs or large quantities. It’s always more than what’s required. If 2 packs of chips would do, they’d buy a family pack of 4 instead, and obviously there’ll be some leftovers, which they’ll throw away.
In a way, its proving that we have so much (in terms of opulence) that we can afford to throw it away.
Sad no?
