There are many factors that can influence foods quality and nourishment. This apples to meat and vegetables. One of those is the cultural factor. Different people react differently to various types of food. I believe that we are finding difficult to respond to antibiotics and steroids stuffed meat and genetically engineered vegetable.

It seems to me that the history of eating habits of some nation is also an important issue here. And I believe that the recent popularity of "fast foods" can be linked with a rise of different diseases. Along with pollution and most importantly stress. When I was younger It was easier for me to go out and have a pizza slice but there is a reason my mother got upset when I didn't ate her Manestra (a kind of Croatian vegetable and meat soup) even if she didn't know it. Thats the food of my ancestors, it's in my genes. Thats my food.

I'll be alright if I from time to time eat some different food, as long as I come back to my own.
