Food, glorious food!

Something off topic but definitely related is the topic of food. Having just come back from the supermarket and putting my groceries away I begun to reflect on peoples (and my) dietary habits. During my time in the queue at the supermarket I am often able to predict what the person in front of me has on the conveyer belt or if what I see on the belt is indicative of the person buying. Most times I'm right and most times I'm appalled. People shopping with kids filling their trolleys with high in fat, high in sugar products and buying bundles of it. I don't understand how they can do it. When one thinks about it the consequences of constantly ingesting this stuff can lead to dire consequences and thus may be considered of form of suicide! We also now beginning to learn more and more the strain this can present to the medical industry and other forms of public services. Of course one could argue that it is the government's (and other regulating bodies) fault and we are not to blame and blah, blah. I believe that people with high self-efficacy (e.g. us martial artists) can do better than this, choose our food correctly, research and buy and cook wisely. I personally have started a veggie patch in front of my bungalow that is going well and try to eat as healthily as possible (well 90% of the time anyway). If you catch me off guard please remind me;)
Manaka Sensei by the way, follows a strict Japanese diet of pickled vegetables, rice, curry and spicy korean foods. I have never seen nor heard him eating hamburgers, ice-cream and other western 'poisons'. One most remember that the Japanese cuisine traditionally is very healthy, low in fat and contains a good balance of proteins and carbohydrates.
