Chapter 2015: Lighting Up the Dream in My Heart (8)

American fast food is almost the easiest way to cook a type of food in the world, but if you can fry meat, you will fry it, if you want vegetables, you will pour it with salad, if you can put sauce, you will squeeze it like you don't want money, and if you can put sugar, you will take a sack and pour it in.

There is a phenomenon that the food that the poor and the rich eat in the United States is really two different things entirely.

In the United States, there is a type of supermarket called an organic supermarket, and many people think that the supermarket must be healthy when they hear the name of this supermarket.

But in fact, only organic supermarkets sell ordinary fruits, vegetables and meat that meet EU standards, while other ordinary supermarkets sell vegetables and meat that meet US standards, simply put, there is no restriction on the addition of clenbuterol and ingredients with unique pesticide testing standards.

So in the United States, any family with a little bit of money will definitely go to the organic supermarket to buy ordinary ingredients.

And in many cases, only organic supermarkets will have ingredients that can be cooked by themselves, while many ordinary supermarkets are semi-finished canned and frozen foods, which also contain lethal amounts of oil and sugar.

If you don't have money, you can only buy things in ordinary supermarkets, and you must bear a diet high in oil, salt, and sugar, which is why the obesity rate in the United States is the highest in the world.

Another reason why it is impossible for the vast majority of ordinary people to eat lightly is that all the restaurants outside, especially the fast food restaurants that ordinary people eat most often, have a lot of cheap fried food, lethal seasonings, and thick sugar water drinks are unlimited to drink.

The lethal amount in this is definitely not an adjective, although many people may think that Coke is sweet enough, but almost no gourmet fast food restaurant will dilute the cola syrup according to the guiding standards, and will put less water, otherwise it will be complained that the cola is tasteless.

If you bite into the fried chicken and the oil doesn't burst in your mouth, the shop won't last long, and if any of the pies and tarts don't taste the rich syrup, they will definitely go out of business quickly.

Stark's first feeling as soon as he took a bite was salty and salty, and the second feeling was greasy, and he didn't know where the fragrance came from and went straight up, like swallowing a whole piece of butter directly.

Stark had to spit out what was in his mouth.

To be honest, if it weren't for the unpalatable to a certain extent, Stark would not have made such a slightly rude move, although he seemed very rebellious among the rich, but after all, he was also a product of elite education, and more importantly, he didn't want to lose face.

But he really couldn't stand it anymore, and after he vomited, he had to bring the burger to his eyes, confirm that he had taken a bite of the cheeseburger, and also make sure that the chef had not mistakenly stuffed the butter and salt into the burger.

When he looked closely, he saw that there were three slices of yellow salty cheese in the burger, and the slightly cold meat was turning white, which was the mark of frying the meat with a lot of butter, and he had never seen such a scene in a cheeseburger before.

Steve sighed, took a bite of the burger, swallowed it, and said, "I don't know if to tell you or not, but the cheeseburger you treated me to last time at Stark Group is very different from what the average American eats." ”

Steve took the cheeseburger in his hand and showed Stark and said, "There will only be one cheese in it, most of it is cheddar cheese, and a few will be mixed with mozzarella cheese, but because the quality is very average, you can only put more cheese to have the fragrant smell of cheese." ”

"And the kind of burger you're eating will have at least three cheeses in it, and the chef will have a carefully proportioned mixture of fresh cheese and semi-dry cheese to enhance the aroma."

"And the meat steak, here is the ordinary beef steak, put 300 grams of butter to fry it, so that the beef meat filling and the skin are all soaked in butter, and some stores will also use another 100 grams of butter to fry the bread embryo, also to enhance the fragrance."

"The meatloaf made in the Stark Group's kitchen not only picks the quality of the beef, but also does not use a meat grinder to make the meat filling, it is all hand-cut, and most of the oil comes from the fat of the good beef itself."

"The bread crust is also baked with carefully blended flour, occasionally lightly fried in olive oil, and even the sesame seeds sprinkled on top are carefully selected and the grains are intact."

"Most of the pickled cucumbers in here are canned products, and they are taken out of the cans and sliced and put in." Steve gestured to the pickled cucumber sandwiched between the bread crust and the steak, and said, "The pickled cucumbers and peppers in Stark Group's kitchen are pickled in Mexico, both at the right temperature and at the right time." ”

Steve pinched another onion ring with his fingers and said, "The structure of the thing and the form of flour wrapped around it are just to absorb more oil, and so is this potato wedge." ”

Stark looked at the cheeseburger in his hand with an embarrassed expression, he felt that he would never be able to eat this thing, but he was too embarrassed to waste food.

"And your notion of food." Steve shrugged his shoulders, put the food in his hand down and said, "If you can't finish it, throw it away, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." ”

Stark's eyes wandered over the table for a moment, and finally stopped at the apple cinnamon pie, and he said with some hesitation, "You don't have that much oil in it, right?" ”

He opened the outer shell and poured the pie out, but there was no sign of butter condensation on the skin, so he took a small bite, another bite, and then spit it out again.

This time it's not because it's greasy, it's because it's sweet.

The filling was completely melted sugar, and the apple pieces were wrapped in syrup and pickled in extra sugar, which made Stark cough violently.

He grabbed the Coke next to him and poured it into his mouth in a bit of a panic, Steve instantly dodged to the side, and Stark squirted out a mouthful of Coke.

Steve hurriedly patted him on the back to prevent him from choking, and 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 the formula behind my back? How can it be so sweet? And why is there no gas?! ”

"Most of the cokes in fast-food restaurants are flat, and usually these fast-food restaurants put double the syrup." Steve shrugged his shoulders, wiped the table with a tissue next to him, and said, "There's sugar next to it, so you can put it yourself." ”

"This meal provided about the calories I needed for a week." Stark stared at the table in disbelief and said, "It's horrible. ”

Then he looked around and saw that the muscular Steve wasn't conspicuous in the dining room, and it was all big guys.

It's just that Steve is thick and muscular, while most of the others are simply fat.

Suddenly, Stark's genius inspiration flashed again, he put his hands on the table and looked at Steve and said, "Could the diet also be a prerequisite for the birth of a superpower?" ”

Within a second of speaking, Stark had already cleared his mind and said, "You see, we've almost never seen a very fat superhero. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that fat people can't be superheroes, but we recruited so many young heroes for the Avengers' reserves, and none of them are big fat people."

According to Matt, the young heroes he recruited in the Bronx and Queens, especially those who had awakened their superpowers, were relatively athletic before they awakened, and almost none of them were extremely fat or skinny.

"Interesting." Steve commented, "But it makes sense to make sense, if Peter is a big fat man of two or three hundred pounds, will the Osborne Group take him as an intern?" So is there still a chance that he will be bitten by a spider? ”

"Another example is me, I didn't have a chance to join the army before because I was thin, and if it wasn't for the doctor's opening up to me, I wouldn't have had a 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 of their superpowers, not to mention many people who are too fat and too thin to have to be hospitalized, and their intersection with the outside world is reduced, and there are naturally fewer opportunities."

"But we don't really need to make food so high-calorie, do we?" Stark pointed to the food on the plate and said, "It's not tasty or healthy, and they're used to it, it's not a good sign." ”

Stark sighed and said, "Previously, according to the statistics of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Spear Bureau, the United States has the lowest proportion of awakened superpowers, and Southern Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East are the highest, all of which are the birthplaces of some famous foods. ”

"And in these places, most of the awakened superpowers are ordinary people, which means that their overall health index is higher than that of the United States."

"Most of the attention of various civilizations in the stars for human beings comes from the great achievements of powerful individuals in human beings, and we have always believed that there is no law on the awakening of human superpowers, but now it seems that a healthy body is the cornerstone of necessity."

Steve also put his hands on the table and looked at Stark and said, "Are you going to adjust the diet of Americans?" But IMHO, it's hard. ”

"Even if people's tastes can be adjusted in a generation or two, the diet is based on good cooking methods, and the United States has almost no indigenous cuisine, and the cooking methods of foreign food have been greatly simplified, and we are a society that emphasizes efficiency."

"Ingredients can also be a problem, if you want to be healthy and delicious, the ingredients have to be of high quality, so that you don't have to use so much salt and sugar to flavor them, and if you want high-quality ingredients, you have to adjust the production standards."

"You should know better than me that this is the lifeblood of class division, the United States has always been a society of class segregation, in addition to the location of the residence, but also the level of food, the upper class cannot accept that it is bad, so you can only make everyone better."

"Even if you have the technology like that, they won't agree to let you change, like when you built an air transport system."

Stark's face gradually sank, and when he mentioned the air transportation system, he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

To put it simply, there are people who have money and technology, but they are restricted and constrained everywhere, as if all those who have the right to approve construction are very opposed.

Because of the pressure brought by Schiller, they did not dare to blatantly carry out accidents as before, and then control public opinion to publicize it in order to create panic.

But they still say one thing and do another, praising technological progress in the media, boasting about the strength of the country, and turning their heads to drag and drag, secretly making stumbling blocks.

It's a pity that the politician is still the same politician, Iron Man is no longer that Iron Man, and a broader stage will give people greater ambition and firmer determination.

Stark's eyes flickered with a cold light, and he didn't explain too much, but said briefly.

"America is the golden wheel of Noah's Ark, and when we sail into space, we either carry all the humans together or we are crushed together, there is no other choice."
