why do people think doubles is good for you?

[mammadon]

I heard somebody say this recently and i was like "eh eh! what wrong with you, boy?" :lol:

Doubles may have channa in it, but people, dis ting is fried! And fried food has plenty fat in it. everything in moderation. a doubles now and then is alright, but not everyday or several times in a day. This is why there is so much obesity and diabetes and ting in trinidad; it's diet.

Try telling the doctor when you get chest pains "well i eat plenty doubles and dat ting real healthy" and see what he/she says. :lol:

[sapodila]

well I does have a doubles (that's 1) when I have a craving for it or if I come across a reputable restaurant that sells doubles. I know that too much of the good stuff is NOT GOOD fuh me. ;)

[brag]

Just like eating hamburgers, fried chicken, bake and shark and fried vegetable snacks every day.

[sylvestter]

kemist, yuh on d right track; doh study these ultra-healthy types who will micromanage themselves to an early death with stress. Eat yuh doubles, lots of greens and fruit, and yuh will be just fine.

Anyone ever thought of making doubles with whole wheat flour, and frying in olive oil?

....... could be a market out there

Then it wouldn't be the real thing, would it? And who wants a facsimile? Not me! Gimme de fry op bara an curry channa an plenty, plenty hot peppersauce jess drippin' wit bhandania.

[snowbird]

Look, as meh healthy lifestyle guru Kevin Tredeau says ....... if you are going to eat something that's not good for you, you may as well enjoy it; theorizing that the guilt of eating it will only make eating it a double whammy.

[Falcon]

Snow, olive oil cannot reach the temperatures required for effective frying. Plus the profit margins involved in making doubles don't allow for what the industry would consider a luxury alternative. Plus no one would pay the new hiked price. Plus it won't taste the same. Plus nobody have the right to be eating so many doubles that it warrants a change from veg to olive oil. That is just greediness.

why do people think doubles is good for you?

ppl actually think that doubles is good for you? :shock: :shock: and who are those ppl who think that, is it the same set of ppl who flock KFC, burger king, churches and pizza hut on a daily basis?

[strombo23]

all within moderation.

[trini123]

People in general just fool themselves. They hear to eat more vegetables and turn around and eat french fries. Now when stats are done they say YES ppl are eating more vegetables but it's really french fries & we keep getting fatter & fatter.

Yeah, yuh eh hear somebody tell him it recently? One person is enough for consensus when you're a Trini.

[travelbug]

Anything that tastes as good as a hot hot doubles will never be good for you! 8-) Moderation though, once a month for me, even in Trinidad.

KFC is another story though...

[BW]

Eating ah good 2-3 doubles with plenty pepper does make me feel real good. That is all I goh say.

[Mivo]

[Babygirl]

So true...it's deep fried white flour...the channa and seasonings are the healthiest parts.

It's very unhealthy to eat everyday but in moderation, it wouldn't do much damage.

[Solachica]

I hear somewhere in Vistabella selling chicken doubles. Not sure how tht is done or if its really true.

I eat doubles sometimes on a morning when I didn't eat at home. I stop in santa flora and eat.

I can't get enough doubles! I only discovered them a couple of years ago when I heard about a Trinidadian food place around 7 or 8 miles away. They are so, so good! :D

Ok I didn't read all d other posts, but do ppl actually think that doubles is good for them?! What about doubles is "good"? All d oil they use for fryin? I have had to deal with patients who are doubles vendors - guess what - they overweight or obese, have high cholestrol, diabetes. I really doh think doubles "good" for u.

Now we see the TGIF and TUESDYS scoring a D and an F in terms of the health aspect of their meals-we should return to our diet-including doubles. Last night I passed a Kentucky around 9.30pm and the average age of the people in the line was about 21. We losing culture in many more ways than the obvious. Children doh want to eat the traditional local menu because the North Americans have a whole litany of positions on what is good for you and what is not to support the sale of their products. But surely-they can not be an example of good eating habits.
