^Comfort Foods Compared: Interesting of Note: Anorexic Comfort
Food is primarily starchy air (energy), or mildly acidic, like
vinegar or citrus or cucumber (cleanser) , with most protein
coming from yogurt, tuna, soy or cottage cheese (muscle) and
high salt ("electrolytes"), with the fats coming from Pam
(soybean and lechithin/choline - fat/water mixer) and olive oil,
or whatever is stuck to the chips.
American Comfort foods are oil soaked starches and oily meats
and cheeses. (hamburger, grilled cheese), with the chocolate
chip cookie as being the ultimate oil soaked starch+sugar. Salt
is also throughout. But the biggest differences:
Air vs Dense
Cleansers (vinegar/fermented foods/fruits) vs Thickeners (think
corn starch/flour)
Unsaturated fats or medium chain saturated (cheeses) versus long
chain saturated fats (animal fats) and transfats (nom nom
cookies)
Hope this proves interesting/helpful to someone out there.^
