Chapter 2013: Light up the strange dreams in your heart (8)
American fast food is almost the simplest method of cooking food in the world. As long as the meat is fried, it is fried, as long as the vegetables are topped with salad, and as long as the sauce is poured, it is as if it is free.
If you can put sugar in it, take a sack and pour it in.
There is a phenomenon that the food eaten by the poor and the rich in the United States is actually completely different.
In the United States, there is a supermarket called an organic supermarket. Note that when many people hear the name of this supermarket, they think that the things sold in the supermarket must be very healthy.
But in fact, only organic supermarkets sell ordinary fruits, vegetables and meats that meet EU standards, while other ordinary supermarkets sell lower-grade vegetables and meats that only meet American standards. To put it simply, there is no restriction on lean meat.
Food ingredients that are carefully added and have unique pesticide testing standards.
Therefore, in the United States, any wealthy family will definitely go to an organic supermarket and spend extra money to buy ordinary ingredients.
And in many cases, only organic supermarkets have ingredients that you can cook yourself, while ordinary supermarkets mostly sell semi-finished canned and frozen foods, which also contain lethal amounts of oil and sugar.
You have to pay extra to buy food in organic supermarkets. If you don’t have money, you can only buy things in ordinary supermarkets, and you have to endure a diet high in oil, salt, and sugar. This is also the world’s highest obesity rate in the United States.
The first reason.
Another reason why it is impossible for the vast majority of ordinary people to eat a light diet is that all restaurants outside, especially the fast food restaurants that ordinary people eat most, have a lot of cheap fried food, with lethal amounts of seasonings, and thick
You can drink as many thick sugary drinks as you want.
The lethal amount here is definitely not an adjective. Although many people may think that Coke is sweet enough, almost no gourmet fast food restaurants will dilute Coke syrup according to the guidelines and add less water, otherwise they will be complained that the Coke is tasteless.
If you bite into the fried chicken and the oil doesn't explode in your mouth, then this store will definitely not last long. If you can't taste the rich syrup flavor in any of the pies and tarts, it will definitely close down soon.
When Stark took a bite, his first feeling was that it was salty, salty, and his second feeling was that it was greasy. The aroma that he didn't know where it came from went straight up, as if he had swallowed a whole piece of butter.
Stark had to spit out what was in his mouth.
To be honest, if it wasn't so unpalatable to a certain extent, Stark would not do such a slightly rude move. Although he seems very rebellious among the rich, he is still a product of elite education after all. More importantly, he
I don't want to lose face either.
But he really couldn't stand it anymore. After vomiting, he had to hold the burger in front of him to confirm that he had taken a bite of the cheeseburger and that the chef had not mistakenly stuffed butter and salt into the burger.
He took a closer look and found that there were three yellow salty cheese slices in the burger, and the slightly cold meat on the edge was turning white. This was the mark left by frying the meat with a lot of butter, and he had never been in a cheeseburger before.
I have seen such a scene before.
Steve sighed, took a bite of the burger, swallowed it, and then said: "I don't know whether I should tell you, but the cheeseburger you treated me to at Stark Group last time was different from what ordinary Americans eat.
There’s a big difference.”
Steve showed Stark the cheeseburger in his hand and said: "There will only be one kind of cheese in it, most of it is cheddar cheese, and a few will mix some mozzarella cheese, but because the quality is very average,
So you can only add more to get the fragrant smell of cheese."
"And the burger you eat will have at least three kinds of cheese in it, and the chef will also have a mixture of fresh cheese and semi-dry cheese carefully prepared in proportion to enhance the aroma."
"As for the steak, this is an ordinary beef steak. Fry it in 300 grams of butter so that the beef filling and the outer skin are all soaked in butter. Some restaurants will also use 100 grams of butter to fry the bread.
, also to enhance the fragrance.”
"The meat patties made by the Stark Group's kitchen not only have to select the quality of the beef, but also do not use a meat grinder to make the meat filling. They are all cut by hand, and most of the oil comes from the fat of the good beef itself."
"The bread base is also baked with carefully blended flour, and occasionally lightly fried with olive oil. Even the sesame seeds sprinkled on top are carefully selected, and every particle is intact."
"Most of the pickles here are canned products. Take them out of the can and put them in slices." Steve pointed to the pickles sandwiched between the bread dough and the steak, and then said: "And the Stark Group
The pickles and peppers in the kitchen are pickled in the Mexican way, so both the storage temperature and the timing of use are just right.”
Steve picked up another onion ring with his fingers and said: "The structure of the thing and the shape of the flour on it are to absorb more oil, and the potato wedges are also there."
Stark looked at the cheeseburger in his hand with an embarrassed expression. He felt that he would never be able to eat it, but he was too embarrassed to waste food.
"And your concept of food." Steve shrugged, put down the food in his hand and said, "Throw away what you can't finish. There's nothing embarrassing about it."
Stark's eyes scanned the table, and finally stopped at the apple cinnamon pie. He said hesitantly: "There can't be so much oil in it, right?"
He opened the outer shell and poured the pie out. There was no trace of butter condensation on the crust, so he took a small bite, then another small bite, and then spit it out again.
This time it's not because it's greasy, but because it's sweet.
The filling inside was completely made of melted sugar. In addition to being wrapped in syrup, the apple pieces were also pickled with sugar, which made Stark cough violently.
He panicked and grabbed the Coke next to him and poured it into his mouth. Steve immediately ducked to the side, and Stark spit out a mouthful of Coke.
Steve quickly patted him on the back to prevent him from choking. When Stark recovered, he looked at the Coke in his hand in disbelief and said, "Is this Coca-Cola? When did this company secretly change it behind my back?"
Lost the recipe? How can it be so sweet? And why is it so flat?!"
"Most of the cokes in fast food restaurants are flat, and usually these fast food restaurants put double the amount of syrup." Steve shrugged, wiped the table with a paper towel next to him, and then said, "There are also
Sugar, you can put it in yourself."
"This meal probably provides the calories I need for a week." Stark stared at the table in disbelief and said, "It's terrible."
Then he looked around and found that the strong Steve was not conspicuous in this restaurant, where there were all big guys of different sizes.
It's just that Steve has thick bones and muscles, while most of the others are just fat.
Suddenly, Stark's genius flashed through him again. He put his hands on the table and looked at Steve and said, "Is dietary structure also a prerequisite for the birth of superpowers?"
In just one second of speaking, Stark had already clarified his thoughts. He said: "Look, we almost never see very fat superheroes."
"Of course I'm not saying that fat people can't be superheroes, but we have recruited so many young heroes for the Avengers reserve force, and none of them are fat."
"According to Matt, the young heroes he recruited in the Bronx and Queens, especially those who had awakened their own superpowers, were relatively healthy before awakening, and almost none were extremely fat or extremely thin.
"
"Interesting." Steve commented, "But it makes sense according to common sense. If Peter is a fat man weighing two to three hundred pounds, will the Osborne Group accept him as an intern? Then he
Is there any chance of getting bitten by a spider?"
"Take another example of me. I didn't have the chance to join the army because I was thin. If the doctor hadn't shown mercy to me, I wouldn't have had the chance to become Captain America."
"To put it bluntly, extremely fat and extremely thin people will lose a lot of opportunities, and these opportunities may be the cornerstone for them to become superpowers, not to mention the many people who are too fat and too thin and have to be hospitalized. They and the outside world
With fewer interactions, there will naturally be fewer opportunities.”
"But we don't actually need to make the food so high-calorie, do we?" Stark pointed at the food on the plate with both hands and said: "This is neither delicious nor healthy, but they are all used to it.
This is not a good sign."
Stark sighed and said: "According to previous statistics from SHIELD and Spearhead, the United States has the lowest proportion of awakened superpowers, while Southern Europe, East Asia and the Middle East have the highest, all of which are famous birthplaces of gourmet food.
."
"And in these places, most of the awakened superpowers are ordinary people, which shows that their overall health index is higher than that of the United States."
"Most of the attention paid to humans by various civilizations in the interstellar world comes from the great achievements made by powerful individuals among humans. We have always believed that there are no rules for humans to awaken superpowers, but now it seems that a healthy body is the necessary cornerstone."
Steve also put his hands on the table and looked at Stark and said: "Are you going to adjust the American dietary structure? But with all due respect, it is difficult."
"Even if people's tastes can be adjusted within one or two generations, the diet structure also comes from good cooking methods. The United States has almost no local cuisine of its own, and the cooking methods of foreign foods have also been greatly simplified. We are a
A society that values efficiency.”
"Ingredients are also a problem. If you want to be healthy and delicious, the ingredients must be of high quality so that you don't need so much salt and sugar for seasoning. If you want high-quality ingredients, you have to adjust production standards."
"You should know better than me that this is the lifeblood of class division. The United States has always been a class-segregated society. In addition to the location of residence, it is also based on the level of food. It is impossible for the upper class to accept everyone as bad, so you can only let everyone
Better people."
"Even if you have the technology, they won't agree to let you change it, like when you build an air transportation system."
Stark's face gradually darkened. When the air transportation system was mentioned, he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.
To put it simply, there are people with money and technology, but they are restricted and constrained everywhere, as if everyone who has the power to approve construction is very opposed to it.
Because of the pressure brought by Schiller, they did not dare to cause accidents as blatantly as before, and then controlled public opinion and publicized them to create panic.
But they still say one thing and do another, praising technological progress and bragging about the country's strength in the media. They can delay and delay things whenever they turn around, and secretly create stumbling blocks.
It's a pity that politicians are still the same politicians, and Iron Man is no longer the same Iron Man. A broader stage will give people greater ambition and firmer determination.
Stark's eyes flashed with cold light. He did not explain more, but said briefly.
"The United States is the golden wheel of Noah's Ark. When we sail into space, we will either lift all mankind together or be crushed to death together. There is no other choice."
