Commenting on “Monash hospital fights fat”
http://waverley-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/monash-hospital-fights-fat/
I get very upset when people use derogatively the term "junk food" on food items that could be good for the children if taken in moderation.
Anything eaten in excess will have undesirable effects, including the so-called healthy foods. Fried food can increase appetite, and may be used as a motivator and enticer for someone to consume his/her meal with other "healthy" foods.
Steam Dim Sims can be considered as a reasonable balance diet - the “skin” is made out of flour which contains protein and carbohydrate; the minced meat is protein; some may contain cabbage which is a form of fibre. The meat does contain fat, but the fat content in a Dim Sim would not be as high as that of butter being spread on a piece of toast.
I can't really see why Sushi be a much better food than pizza. The seaweed sheet is high in salt and possible iodine. While it may reduce fat intake, it increases the chances of high blood pressure, and causes side effects for iodine intolerant consumers.
