[loyamx]

@valelmheart well there are 32 states in Mexico and about 10 traditional dishes per state, in that case i can give you 320 TRADITIONAL dishes from Mexico, and dont worry about 20 are only Tacos o Burritos!!!

[miketechno]

why are there so few mexicans showing us how to make mexican food?

[ned262626]

a le crouset pot abused with metal tongs and spoons, oh dear

[2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA]

The thing is that in mexico eating healthy is expensive, so people that dont have much mopney have no choice but to eat junk food and a lot a lot of tortillas, beans and rice.

[Arbiterisl33t69]

@2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA

Corn tortillas are healthy, beans and rice are, as well.

[2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA]

@Arbiterisl33t69 To much carbs every day is not healthy. "The corn is transgenic" Mexico only produce 40% of what is consume the 60% is importet from the USA. To much carb will get you fat.

[carsiotto]

@2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA Mexicans have been eating tlaxcalli (tortillas) for thousands of years. The tlaxcalli isnt the problem. What is put in it, becomes the problem. Also most importantly, our level of activity has gone down so this affects weight gain.

[2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA]

@carsiotto My friend what mexicans eat now are not the same, the corn is not the same. 60% of the corn that mexicans eat is imported from the USA and it is highly modify for cows and pigs so they can gain weigh fast. Mexicans eat to much tortillas because they dont have a choice, theres a lot of deceases that comes out of obesity from eating to much tortillas. Guess who benefets from that? The same who produces the modify corn.

[carsiotto]

@2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA Well I recognize that the corn has been altered by American scientist madmen. Secondly, Mexicans eat too many tortillas cuz they dont have a choice? Do you know anything about Mexican culture or history? Mexicans created the tortilla just like others have created bread. Difference is, tortilla is healthier. Perhaps you dont eat them, but that doesnt mean that societies have thrived on the tortilla. You should read up.

[carsiotto]

@carsiotto I meant "have not thrived". Ever look at the back of pack of tortillas? You really dont know what you're talking about considering that there are many types of corn produced, some for animal feed, and some for human consumption. Both are different from each other.

[carsiotto]

@2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA The stuff that goes into the tortilla has more fat than the tortilla itself, jesus thats common sense. Whats more fat? 1 pound of carnitas or the 4 tortillas to eat that? Dont be silly. I will admit that there are crappy tortillas on the market, but fresh ones only require a few ingredients. Lime, corn and water. That's it. 0 sodium, 0 cholesterol, 0 sugar, 0 fat, 1g Fiber, 1 g Protein, 12g Carbs, 50 calories per serving. What kind of crap do you eat? haha

[2DAREPUBLICAMEXICANA]

@carsiotto Dont be a moron what to you think corporate farmes feed the pigs and cows so they can get big in a short period of time? CORN 12g of carbs but what kind of carb?

[mcbece]

white people love chipotle these days we hardly even use those peppers !

[tikaroshi]

yeah i agree, but not everywhere in mexico can you find "garnachas" mostly in northern mexico and df, that is because of the americananized lifestyle, where people do not make excercise anymore and rather watch tv for10 hours, everywhere else people are very fit, so let's not kid ourselves, PROFECO stadistics have proved that it is way more harmfull the fat from burguers than the one from gorditas tacos etc... And by and large, the lack of economical resources is the main problem in nutrition.

[PACSATOWN05]

thats Skip's brother from espn

[tikaroshi]

people in mexico are fat because of macdonals and kfc, before those, most of the people where really thin..

[guy00also]

@tikaroshi i know when i was small there was no fast food restaurants in mexico, but now u can find them everywhere

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

@tikaroshi Nah, its because of the tacos, gorditas, tortas, and tamales from the corner + posole, mole, carnitas and the fact that a lot of the food is fried.

Half my family over there is fat as hell and they never eat mcdonalds or kfc.

[sandynow]

@tikaroshi and sodas!! . The mexican food is healthy. I don't eat fast food, neither sodas. I eat chilaquiles, tortillas, enchiladas, tacos, sopes... , fruits and vegetables and I'm very thin!! (I live in Mexico City)

[ttiiyy]

@tikaroshi Ugh, that's not entirely fair. Mexicans do put a lot of cheese in tacos. The FRIED beans are not that healthy either.

[tikaroshi]

@ttiiyy That's not the way mexicans make refried beans, and we do not use cheese in tacos, that's the way US think we do, we use another kind of cheese, a white called fresh cheese, and the fried tortilla chips are proved to be even healthier than the potato chips. I can say that I've stayed away form mcdonalds and KFC and I'm very Fit, you would be amazed hahaha, so ok let's just blame the industries of fast and cheap food, I believe that everything that's home made it's the best choice to eat.

[ttiiyy]

@tikaroshi

A) You first said that you do not use cheese and then you said you use another kind of cheese. What the hell are you taking out? Do you see how that makes no sense at all?

B) Fried torilla chips are healthier than potato chips? Really? LOL I'm an American, and I stay away from both of them. In the US, they now sell some oven baked potato chips. That's definitely a healthier option than frined tortilla chips.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Bless your heart .Let me explain since you seem to have a hard time understanding. Mexican food tends to be lighter and healthier and more fresh than Mexican-American food. Corn tortilla chips are healthier, mainly because they dont contain the same preservatives and ingredients as potato chips. Where im from in chicago, I can get fresh tortilla chips made the same day. Way healthier than potato chips. So run along :)

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Its apparent that what you are familiar with is Mexican-American food and not so much traditional Mexican food. Mexican food is one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. Low on fats, dairy and meat. High on proteins from beans, fish and vegetables. Tortillas or tlaxcalli is so healthy too.Have you ever seen mexican cheese? Its pretty basic. Simple and fresh but the reason is becuz mexicans dont eat tons of cheese like europeans.

[ttiiyy]

@tikaroshi Oh, by the way, corn chips that are often eaten with salsa are not baked. They are FRIED, too. Stop blaming Americans for everything. Take some responsibility for YOUR OWN EATING HABITS. Yes, in Mexico, people FRY corn tortilla chips.

[gabrielo12q]

sorry but my tinga is better dude

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Is there such thing as UNhealthy Mexican cuisine? I can sense racial overtones here, but personally I find loose stool is the signature of a healthy digestive system.

[raqlynn]

ur a fucking idiot

[RockyBalboa211]

Well I would find that most people assume that mexican food is what they find at taco bell or other fast food tex mex places. Yet, actual mexican food, found in mexico is entirely different. I mean most of its fish based or made with alot of healthly herbs. Also the way people eat in mexico is different as well.. usually its a real big breakfast, with a light lunch, and light dinner. Usually thats why the food is so healthy for later hours.

[ttiiyy]

@RockyBalboa211 So why do Mexicans eat differently in the US? Just to please fat Americans? 

[RockyBalboa211]

@ttiiyy: Well, I would think that since fattier foods are cheaper, they would eat more calorie filled American foods, like fast food.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Americans are fat because they have taken european cooking methods and exaggerated it. Then they took those exaggerated methods and applied them to everything from Mexican food to chinese food. Americans have serious issues with food.

[ttiiyy]

@carsiotto Well, I guess at least you are fair.

However, I do not agree that Mexicans always eat healthy. I have noticed that many Mexicans eat fried beans. Now that is also eaten in Mexico. Don't tell me that that is healthy food. Also, Mexicans eat fried burritos IN MEXICO with beer as well! I know that! I have seen that on Travel Channel.

I know the American food is very fattening. I get it. It's not as if Mexicans always ate healthy, for God's sakes.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Well lets analyze what you're saying. ALL cuisines have good and bad foods. I agree that fried beans would be on the bad side. Im not saying that Mexicans never eat bad food. What I am saying however is that the traditional Mexican cuisine is very healthy. It focuses on fresh and rich foods. What makes Mexican traditional? Well, there is pre-chautemoc and post-chautemoc food. After and before the euro invasion.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy After euros invaded, they brought pigs cows and other fattening product. Before that, Mexicans ate a mostly vegetarian diet, including tlaxcalli (tortilla). Now the modern Mexican still has these healthy foods but also with a euro twist, with the addition of fats and meats. Its not until you analyze Mexican-American food, that things get crazy and really fatty. Secondly burritos hardly make up the core of Mexican cuisine, so its unfair to just point that out like you have. Research.

[ttiiyy]

@carsiotto I believe in what I see. Hispanics are FAT. That's all.

Besides, there's a big difference between the words Mexican and Native American. Many Mexicans are proud of the euro/Spanish influence. Their ancestors were treated like pigs and forced to learn Spanish. And today these pathetic people are proud of speaking Spanish. They have no self-respect. Their ancestors were TORTURED by Spanish for God's sakes.

Native Americans in the US are not like that.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Haha ur pretty dense. First of all Mexicans arent Hispanics.Spaniards R, and if you know anything that doesnt have to do with your rotting anus, then you would know that. Secondly, its obvious from your previous posts, that you're a hater. You are right, however about Mexicans not really embracing the reality of being Mexican. I agree with that. But not all mexicans live a euro lifestyle and not all admire the spanish. So fatso, lose some weight and pull your head out of your greasy ass.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Also, Mexicans are Native Americans you dumbass. As in Native to the Americas. Many are pure blood, most are mixed but ALL are a majority indigenous blood population. Grow a brain you wet piece of American fat shit.
