   Abdullah,

   The meaning of the word “healthy” in our perception in Kuwait (and the region), lets say for the past 100 years, has changed dramatically.
   Back in the days, Kuwaitis used to think of the word healthy = fat. The “healthier” you are the wealthier you are. 3ala golat’hom “bint 3iz” and “chatf o ridf”. No one wanted the skinny girl..
   Nowadays, being “healthy”, slim and fit, requires more money, time and effort. It’s a luxury for some.
   Thus, Self awareness and weight control became associated with wealthy educated people, and excess weight and neglect is associated with ignorance and destitution.

   Well people buy this food even if they’re rich :p
   But what can you say ? People are really ignorant on what’s good for their health and what’s not

   Junk food lowers the body’s energy, eat healthy and youll feel the difference .. people get addicted to it coz theyre generically modified thats why you see these chain restaurants mass producing .. think why would paris hilton advertise for carls jr (hardees), i dont think its for the money, do u?

    point taken. BUT heading to these chains on a semi-daily basis routine, is what concerns the docs, experts and analysts.

    Your absolutely right, i mean regardless of food made in these restaurants, food at home might have a junky itch to it, just strip off salt and sugar for instance and all the difference in the world pops out.
