I do not tell you a secret when I say that the world is crazy.
Since Portugal has been invaded by the fast-food chains, the obesity rate has gone up enormous. In the old days people died with ninety years of age after a hard life. Most of them died with lung problems because they heated the house with open fire and no chimney.
Nowadays they die of a poor heart that is slowly strangled in excessive body fat.
With the burger and Mac’s and all the other tasteless junk came also the whole program of expensive and non-functioning diet systems. It’s big business.
But there is a simple diet, tasty, satisfying and available even for poor people, because it came from poor people. Now these people are stuffing their bellies with super polysaturated fat meat imported from the other side of the world while the secret grows in their backyards. The small garden behind the house where they planted carrots, beans, cabbage, tomatoes, etc.
The Portuguese traditional fishermen food is prepared as follows.
Get some fresh fish and boil it in lots a of water.
When the fish is cooked take it out of the pan and put there fresh cabbage, fresh carrots and potatoes and let it stir until the potatoes are ready.
Slice some freshly cooked beetroot and half a onion.
Boil an egg from a chicken that runs in the backyard.
Now put it all together on a plate and sprinkle the whole scenery with chopped fresh garlic, fresh lemon juice and a good quality olive oil.
You can make lots of meals with the following keywords, fresh, home grown or organically grown, no other fat then olive oil.
Prepare this for yourself two or three times a week and after a while you feel disgusted when you enter a junk restaurant.
Bom appetite, said this Sinner
