REGINASLORAC


It is well known that nowadays our feeding habits are changing in some many ways. I would like to remark two of them.

First of all, it is noticeable that when we go to buy some food into a supermarket, we can feel almost as if we were at a Chemist's. We can find prebiotic and probiotic food, complementary feeding such as vitamin sticks and w-3 or w-6-rich milk, oils that are found in blue fish (so, is that mean that when we have some of those milk we are just drinking something similar to a sardine-milk shake?). All those chemical modified foods are advised in a deceitful way, that makes us feel psychologically healthier when we eat or drink them.

In second and last term, I would like to notice that everyday is more common to follow what I would like to call a “globalized diet”. It is not necessary to go out visiting other countries just because of their different diet. There is no need to go to Mexico just to taste a taco, or neither go to Japan to taste their famous sushi. You just have to go down the street and it is sure you will find any exotic restaurant, ten minutes far from home. Some years ago, you used to go to eat some tapas in a bar, but now you are just asked to go eating a shawarma, a piece of pizza or a frankfurt (by the way, it's necessary to remember that these sausages, which have been accepted since so many years ago as a part of our fast-food habits, come from Germany!).

The well-known and hardly advised Mediterranean diet is starting to introduce these new products, chemical ingredients and globalized food, and is still starting to become a mixture of taste, textures and flavours that do not let us know where it is being evolutionating at least. Maybe, one of the results is going to be something like a “calcium-and-vitamin-enriched sushi-pizza”...
