Mmmm, smells like fried maggots and heart disease!

I've lived in my 3J apartment for 32 days and still haven't gotten over the aromas that waft into my 2nd story bathroom window. Fried food, specifically. For the most part, meat on the street is fried heavily, so it tastes absolutely great but promises high cholesterol and fat. Fried chicken, pork, beef, fish, shrimp, intestines, eggs, noodles, rice, maggots, grasshoppers, frogs, crabs, roaches, scorpions, bananas, squash... and countless items I haven't learned yet. At home in the US, I try to steer away from fried food in any form (except for the occasional donut). Here, it's become a staple in my diet. Yes, I even eat maggots! Although I haven't seen this dietary change manifest itself in excess weight (yet, likely due to smaller portions and constant sweating), I can imagine the blood pressure in my arteries is less forgiving! I shall eat less fried food, though I will continue to enjoy the smell of it in my bathroom.
