I have been thinking about your comment, and I think I finally get why I love Thai & Indian cooking (and all other spicy food)...they are the utter triumph of present self over future self.
You see, in order to restore balance among the humors in your body, you must also eat fiber-intense foods.
I suggest my ritual breakfast of bran flakes, organic raspberries, sliced almonds, and skim milk. Raspberries are one of the fruits and veggies a I care about the pesticides because you eat the skin. Oranges, OTOH, can be doused with stuff and still have edible fruit.
