Fat, Food, and Filosophy (And Vietnam Has Nothing To Do With This Post...

...except that Vietnamese eat alot, foreigners in Vietnam eat less but Vietnamese are thin and foreigners are,in comparison, bigger and from my observations, Filipinos arethe baddest fattest Southeast Asians, salamat adobo.)

The existential catastrophe for Schopenhauer was not so much eating as munching. Schopenhauer railed against the aimless nibbling of peanuts and potato chips while one engaged in other activities. Once munching has begun, Schopenhauer held, the human will cannot resist further munching and the result is a universe with crumbs over everything.(Woody Allen, Thus Ate Zarathustra in The New Yorker)

okay, okay, toi hieu.

...Kant... proposed that we order lunch in such a manner that if everybody orders the same thing the world would function in a moral way. The problem Kant didn't foresee is that if everyone orders the same dish, there will be a squabbling in the kitchen over who gets the last branzino. "Order like you are ordering for every human being on earth," Kant advises, but what if the man next to you doesn't eat guacamole. (Woody Allen, Thus Ate Zarathustra in The New Yorker)

and if I start eating pho every day, would I be thinner?

Calling All Cannibals.......

Iraqis are terrorists. Indians are taxi drivers . And Filipinos are maids. In Vietnam, we are singers and dancers and in Japan, we are prostitutes, too. Hurray! (Jokes!)

On a more serious note ie. lower do, my friend touched this subject in her blog.

Case in point: overseas migration. Filipino* (m)*others leave their families because they have been socialized to value them in a way that enthrones sacrifice,suffering and upward social mobility as virtues. (You Can Because You Must)

To the long list of jobs outside Philippines Filipinos are filling up, usually with lower pay and less privileges, not inVietnam though or at least the Filipinos Iive met here, thus replacing the locals, we can now add that Filipinos are also biscuits.

That's not a job, but take not the fun out of it, shall we?

Filipinos is the brand name for a series of biscuit snacks made by Kraft Foods. In Spain and Portugal they are produced and sold under the Artiach brand name. Under license to United Biscuits, in the Netherlands they are sold and produced locally under the Verkade brand.

Wanna eat Filipinos? Admit, don't be ssshy.

We eat dogs. We eat cats. We eat rats. Umm, do we also eat bats?
