Indian food was my favorite when I was younger and used to eat anything and tons of it.

Now that I’m older, I’ve learned importance of eating simply (I’m even questioning whether food should be cooked—I suspect humans started cooking food when overpopulation made food scarce; cooking would then have begun as a way of making formerly inedible food, edible).

Not necessarily — if you try southern Indian dishes, they are far healthier than punjabi/northern Indian dishes.

Ah, that brings back memories of my time in England when you eat a spicy curry at a Bangladeshi “Indian” resto and wash it down with Tiger Beer.
