ASIAN FOOD.....NO DIET DAY
On 6 May 2006 the international health community urges you to indulge.
Traditional butter chicken curry with litres of cream, Tuscan lamb stews with lashings of red wine and golden roast potatoes, deep-fried Asian prawns, homemade bread, imported cheeses, triple-layered chocolate gateaux smothered in dark chocolate ganache... mmm...
The best thing about it all is that you need some indulgence every now and again as part of a healthy lifestyle. International No Diet Day (INDD) is a backlash to the dieting obsession around the world and a reminder for you to enjoy your food experiences.
The message from the media and society in general is that fat is ugly and unhealthy. INDD wants you to realise that heeding this message can only be harmful. Especially since deadly eating disorders, unhealthy diet pills, weight loss surgeries with serious long-term implications, and many health problems due to poor nutrition are ruling this planet.
The truth is that you can also be fat and healthy or thin and unhealthy. The only things that really matter are a balanced attitude towards eating and learning to love you own body shape.
What better way to start doing just that than this yummy chocolate recipe provided by Food Fanatics.
