‘You are what you eat’ they say – but then what happened to our food system?
To make our life easy, we have moved to eating more and more processed food. Then the food scientists came up with clever tactics for us to crave the junk food – some call it Bliss Point.
The bliss point is exact point of salt, sugar, fats and sometimes crunch to make us crave for the crisps or chocolate. It’s like a drug! While these are calorie rich, they lack nutrients are body needs. So our bodies get bigger, we feel hungrier and we get sicker. Ouch!
Most of us didn’t have chance against these tactics, until now!
