I'm NOT obesed!

all i know is that NOW i have the mood to blog but it's just i don't know what to blog about =.= i can be weird you know? lolx

I read in the newspaper that the government is going to take action for the dramatic increase of obesity among Malaysians. and somehow they had pointed that the school canteens and hawker stalls outside the schools are as the main reason. not that i'm against that but let see what are the choices that our students have.

1) School canteens
Nasi lemak, french fries, noodles,nuggets, burger chicken/beef patties and fruits are only a few to be named here. nasi lemak and noodles are high in carbohydrate and of course with some common sense still left within us, we all ought to know that those foods with high carbohydrate will make us SLEEPY~ and how can you expect the students to be alert in the classes after the recess hour? Nuggets and patties, well i don't have to point this out but these are really bad. processed foods have so many preservatives and it's like eating a BIT of meat with LOTS of chemical. so why school administration still allowing canteen tenderer to sell these foods? and those foods are not even hot! most of the time it were cold and hard. it totally turns down someone's appetite but are the choices most students have?

2) Hawker stalls
Personally speaking, i'm one of those who would skip her/his recess hour by lurking in a library so that i can save up the money just to buy snacks outside school. but believe me, it happened when i was in primary school. when i was in secondary school, i brought food from home or buy breads from bakeries. the reason is simple. hawker stalls offer a much wider choice of snacks which you won't get to see in your school canteen.

3) Parents
Parents are too busy~ Parents don't have time to fix snacks for their kids~ bla bla bla~ then teach your kids to fix them on their own! it can be light sandwiches with chicken ham or boiled hot dogs with scrambled eggs in a hot pack. all the parents need to tell them is that to have a balanced diet. breads with jam spread are fine too~

in my six and half years spent in high school, i can count how many times i have ever eat anything that was made by the school canteen tenderer. most of the time, it was either Gardenia bread that cost me 50cents or starve until i gets home and eat homemade food. now,that's a bad habit that can result in gastric pain~ so every single party have co-operate and find a resolution for this obesity problem --> similar to how i end a essay! lol..kthxbai~
