Don’t take some parts of the video seriously though. Although the basic facts and information are included in this clip, some scenes are exaggerated a bit for humor.

Learn and enjoy!

Suppa saizu mi!

By Alex on March 25, 2007

Okay, so whenever I think of “fat” and “Japan” I think of sumo. But get a load of this, the fattening machinery MacDonald’s is now making our ordinary Japanese friends into super sized fatsos.

Supper sized sumo
Uy, akin lahat yan!

Take a load of this monster. It’s the Mega Mac. A large lard burger with 4 patties. And MacDonald’s Japan made it available this year.

Ever heard of the Okinawa Crisis? The next generation of Okinawans have gone fat on the merits of too much fast-food. Hey, isn’t Okinawa where they have the US bases? Yeah. And it still has the most fast food joints in Japan. Fast food = fat food. As a result:

Experts say that the generation that grew up eating American food is now reaching middle age overweight and at risk from diabetes. Almost 30 per cent of Okinawan men die before reaching 65, and nearly half of men in their forties are obese.

I was really meaning to write a 300 review but remembering those 2,400 plus abs is just too much for moi (masakit sa puson)!

Anyway, I’ll turn to the next best thing to hunky dudes - food!

“The heat is on…”

So you’ve just watched the latest video of Maria Ozawa. What’s the next best way to ease the heat?

A nice chunk of ice buko, that’s what! No, I’m not asking you to do an American Pie here. You eat the darn thing, you lech!

I just love cooking and eating pasta. I practically cook spaghetti once a week. So to save me multiple-trips to the grocery, I shop for a month’s worth of spaghetti. I buy the following:

Spaghetti noodles

This is something that I discovered after rummaging through cupboards for a quick but filling lunch! (And if you’re tired of tikoy since it’s Chinese New Year.)

Vetsin substitute

By Flori on February 15, 2007

Since my Mom is an old-school cook, she practically raised us with vetsin-infused meals.

Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated in the August 31, 1995 issue of the FDA Backgrounder that vetsin or MSG is quite safe to ingest at normal consumption levels, I’d rather not use it just to be on the safe side.

So for those who are cautious in adding MSG in their food as I, why don’t you try adding a pinch or two of table sugar in your dishes instead? It’s not MSG but it would sure cure the withdrawals.

More on MSG here.
