Of Cheese and butter!

 Of Cheese and Butter

In the recent years all I observe is whatever food we order, its topped with cheese, double cheese and even triple cheese and butter is added to every dish!

How and why did this happen? 

Even our humble idly is disguised as fried idli, spices added and topped with cheese! Cheese dosa, paneer dosa, butter dosa, cheese cake, etc.. are the others on the list!

Pav bhaji, pasta and pizza do not need a special explanation as they are all loaded with butter and cheese! Who came up with this idea, I wonder! 

May be some Guru said "Be like Krishna", is that misunderstood?! What they meant was his character and not his physique! That too he used to eat dairy products only as a kid!

No wonder, now kids have put on weight and adults are obese! We don't know how much butter, paneer, cheese and milk are added to our orders when we eat out. For example, almost all kids love Pasta. If that's white pasta, its made of Maida, milk and cheese! And topped with cheese!

When we were kids, the max pampered food was a dollop of butter on Adai and Nombu adai.

People are scared of eating ghee but not cheese and butter! Actually melted ghee has loads of nutrients too! 

Study claims that cheese is addictive and now we know why we want that cheese burst pizza every time! 

Relishing the food is important as much as the indulgence in moderation!

Because the more is added, the tougher to reduce! 

I mean the weight, the most dreaded number!
