The more I eat and enjoy the food prepared for me in Salzburg the less I want to go back to the states. All the foods seem so simplistic to me. Everything is basic and less processed. In my first few days here I have only seen 3 Burger Kings, 1 Starbucks, and 1 McDonalds. It amazes me that no one expects on fast food for meals. I might be wrong in my observations but all I have seen is fresh veggie/fruit stands and restaurants. I know the restaurant food might not be the best but the lack of fast food presence has really impressed me. The foods here are all meats, cheese, and bread. With that being said and such heavy foods being present at every meal I have yet to see one over weight person. I think that this simplistic food living has prevent them from gaining so much weight. With less processed foods the body probably functions much better. When the body doesn't have to work in over time to break down all the fake chemicals that we add to our foods it would probably make us function much more efficiently. Well in the culture they also walk every where which is not as common in the US. Being in this different environment has been so eye opening in the sense of my blog. I can say that I have experienced new foods, but now I have seen the foods and what is traditional. I love that the foods seem heavy and rich, but they are so very very simple.
Hope you enjoy this insight. I know that keeping it simple is the way to go :)
Happy munching!
