Outside of Kim Jong Un, are there any fat Koreans?

Ping!................

I eat the stuff most every day. It’s good.

[animal172]

Yummy. I love me some Kimchi.

[billorites]

Plus, it puts lead in your pencil.

[montag813]

It’s not just kimchi. Kombucha will do the same thing, as will good sauerkraut and fermented dairy products like kefir.

[Jonty30]

The lesson here is not the Kimchi, but to stick with real food and minimize processed foods.

[Twotone]

From what I’ve been reading lately, any fermented food is good for gut health.

[PGR88]

Who knew there’s a “World Institute of Kimchi?”

Do they give tours?!

[dynachrome]

High salt content is a drawback. It’s good stuff otherwise.

[brownsfan]

I guess if your meal makes you throw up, you’ll lose weight.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Very cool. Never had kimchee but I appreciate all things naturally fermented.

I’ve tried fermenting my own sauerkraut with no success. Brands like Bubbies and Olive My Pickle offer kraut, pickles, and olives that are wonderfully, naturally fermented, bu t the cost is prohibitive.

As a result of my knowledge, failures, and lack of funds, I don’t typically buy or eat any of these items that are processed with chemicals.

I’ve got a head of cabbage in the fridge waiting for a salt bath and a long rest in a glass jar. Guess it’s time to give it another try.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I strongly suspect any live culture veggies have this same effect.

Pickles and sauerkraut, in particular. Easier to find for Americans, in every supermarket refrigerated section.

[Celtic Conservative]

But I hate cabbage in anything except Cole slaw.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I could try that. But, do you have to wash it down with Kombucha, which I’m not fond of?

Fatties: Addiction to ultra processed foods & their health risks

[Jan_Sobieski]

Yum! I could do it! (Just need more breath mints)

[FreedomPoster]

When our son was house shopping 6-7 years ago, he looked at a townhouse that had been owned by Koreans. It had a counter-height special kimchee refrigerator in addition to the regular refrigerator.

[9YearLurker]

Because it puts people off of eating altogether?
