Lost job, looking for making you pragnent to earn extra income
Because of these spices we were ruled by foreigners.. Because of these spices our health is taking toll.... when we compare our Indian food to Western(normal) they take more vegetables, fruits and nuts unlike us. Someone should start a cult of teaching healthy food and cooking habits to our people. No worries, I will start new blog in this regards.

I'd rather eat nice spicey, tasteful and cooked food and die soon rather than eating tasteless, bland and raw western food!

Why? Westerners also take a lot more meat, usually raw, and alcohol with meals. Is that not unhealthy? In fact, some spices like hing, ajwain, haldi are good for health.
We were ruled by foreigners simply because we mistrust each other more than a foreigner. Kannadigas dont like Tamilians, Marathis dont like Gujratis, Bengalis dont like North Indians, Muslims dont like Hindus, Christians dont like Muslims, Brahmins dont like BCs, BCs dont like Dalits and so on. So when a person belonging to a certain section emerges as leader, there are other sections that try to pull him down, even collaborating with foreigners. Out history is full of bigotory and treachery.

Not true. Westerners do not eat a lot of meat. The bulk of western diet is fruits and vegetables, unlinke indian diet where in we think that roti and dal is a balanced food.

My dear Indian Reader: I don't know where you got your information from. It is all wrong. Westerners, if you mean Americans, are mostly meat eating people. The bulk of their food is meat, and that too red meat. That is why they suffer from obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc. etc. Fast food chains like McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, etc. all originated in the West. You need to get your facts straight before you comment.

Westerners have only meat(red) in their diet. The only vegetable consists of potato(think French Fries) One example: Why do you think America is the country with the most-obese people? Because of bad eating habits and lifestyle.

Women in general have worse eating habits compared to men. In fact most women's unhealthy eating and cooking habits today is responsible for sending their hubbies to an early grave also grave health implications for the children and unborn babies
*Lots of deep fried stuff, using rancid refined oil which are market promoted but v. unhealthy *very little fruits or fresh salad in diet *Over dependence on catered food which is the worst food health-wise *highly refined food like refined sugar, white rice, maida etc *Excess cereals, non-veg but v. little fresh vegetables, fruit, salad *all sorts of ready made masalas used in cooking which one does not know the quality standard of

And why don't their hubbies take responsibility for what they eat and take more initiative to cook themselves if need be? No point blaming women.
Each person is expected to know their own bodies and eat according to their needs.
That apart, your points make valid sense.
Though, as usual, no one talks with any seriousness about incorporating exercise into their daily routine. This doesn't target you as such. :)
