New Taste for Slimming Veggie Food

2002/03/01

The arrival of Spring heralds many things, not least a sudden urge among people to lose the extra weight they have gained during Winter's and attendant holidays' over-indulgence in heavy foods that, while helping keep one warm, pile on the pounds.

Which is why we are now seeing a sudden rush for keep-fit centers and a growing army of joggers on the streets. There is also an increasing urge among women especially for slimming vegetarian food instead of fattening meat- and fish-based soups and stews. Lighter clothing too is now reappearing, a reflection of people's seasonal switch to light, non-fattening delicacies.
