Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / October 2003Re: what's the meaning of "comfort food" in English?
I have no idea what a beanie weenie is. That happens to be your comfort food. It stands to reason that in various reigons, and or countries, that it will very greatly. I can, however, assure you that in my area of the USA it is primaraly used to refer to food which is high in fat and/or sugar. It has been proven that when you ingest the formentiond foods that your body sends out reward signals, via dopamine. That is why " most " people crave junk food, high in fat and sugar. Or conversely different people would eat different foods for comfort. Anyone who knows what high-fat and high-sugar foods are doing to their chances of living to a ripe old age would not be too "comfortable" with that knowledge :) >I have no idea what a beanie weenie is.

The junk food also contains Trans-Fats which have now been linked to early onset of things like heart/blood vessel conditions, secondary diabetes and Alzheimers. Not a comforting thought -:) |
