@@fluffdj2837 yeah I agree Indian homemade food is so much better than food in America cause we eat our greens well, we eat lentils that are packed with proteins and we have so many vegetarian options too I've seen in America that people eat junk so much and way too much cheese and meat that spikes the cholesterol level.
