Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Dear Teejay-ji, Is it that people from the west are facinated by the orient and vice versa? The rickshaw pullers lived on handful of roasted gram flour, as this had been their staple food since childhood and they couldn't have afforded to eat anything better.No one has probably done any research on the effects of such dietary habits on these poor rickshaw pullers from nutritional point of view.Besides there is more in humans than just a body, and thus each individual is different.Ever read about a centenarian eating and had been eating for many years, 64 eggs a day with normal levels of cholesterol? If you are keen on oriental stuff,you have hit the jackpot(me), and this implies that you shoot be shooting the questions. Namaskaar.
