zetsui, Pakistan has brilliant restaurants and the food industry is quite flourishing there so I wont say that people cannot feed themselves. There is a class of people who is suffering unfortunately like every other country in the world.
Also , I feel Pakistani cuisine is one of the most balanced coz they have so much variety in veggies and meat alike. Our food is deep rooted in Hikmat , which in older times used to be a very strong treatment for almost all illnesses. A lot of that still remains with us in our desi households , for example, we put haldi in our food coz we know its a really good antibiotic and makes healing faster. We add onion seeds in , coz we know its really good for the joints etc etc ..
But I agree with you, some times people dont realize what they are doing unhealthy , for example they put in too much oil for their own good , or , get used to eating too much sugar etc .. but that is an individual thing , the cuisine itself is not at fault.
I personally cook curry in just two tablespoons of oil! and keep the spice levels to medium to keep it healthy. We vary through the week with rice, meat , veggies and lentils .. We eat raw veggies in the form of salads and steamed veggies in chicken stock etc .. that is what healthy diet is all about isnt it?

Well that’s what I’m saying. This processed food, rice, white aata, ghee, they have to get their calories from somwhere right? Whereas a lot of the Lebanese Syrian cuisine gets it from hummus/eggplant/taboli/tahini
Also people need to stop worshipping Khalijis after living there so long without citizenship. The burka culture, or throwing Arabic into words won’t make them any less accepting of you. They are not the only arabs.Khalijis are a minority in the Arab world. The most populous Arab nations are in North Africa. In fact Yemenese food is often considered right next to ‘Hindi’ food in the Arab world because of the similarity in spices and tastes. Again typical Pakistani world view, challenge it and it comes up with conspiracy theories. Jo qaum apni buriyain nahin maan saktii..woh taraki pasand kabhi nahin ho sakti
Also as far as spices. What is the use of spices if you eat bakharkhani to complete your daily caloric environments? lebanon is a country far poorer than Pakistan, but their age of living and life standards are far better because of their diet.

No thats only the traditional meal of saudi called Qusi everything else is very healthy i have middle eastern friends and can vouch for how healthy it is i think one of the healthiest. Plus they serve salad with every meal and eat large quantities and afterwards there desserts are fruit no kidding (i’ve been to many arab house holds). The ones that have high obesity are basically cause they eat fast food all the time not cause they eat their own food.
Re: Pakistani Food is one of the worst for your health and well being. ME food the be
To those of you going on about “Arab cuisine,” you do realise that the Middle East is not a single country and that “Arab cuisine” varies from country to country? How healthy or not it is also varies from country to country. Lebanese cuisine is quite healthy and is very similar to Mediterranean cuisine. Palestinian cuisine is similar and has many raw vegetable/salad type of dishes.
However, have you ever had Iraqi food? It has large portions of meat, usually fatty cuts of lamb or beef, and many deep fried foods, such as kibbeh and fried aubergine. Yes, they do eat vegetables but these are often fried or breaded and there are numerous heavy rice dishes. Not exactly healthy.

Sorry what are khalijis? I’m not really familiar with Middle Eastern/Pakistani food as I’m neither
I was born in Canada and I’m Indian so most of the food my mom cooked was vegetarian and a mix of north and south Indian cuisine. But we still don’t eat Indian food every night or even everyday.
Re: Pakistani Food is one of the worst for your health and well being. ME food the be
Khalijis refers to Arabs from countries surrounding the Persian Gulf. It’s rather ironic that the OP is going on about people worshipping them as he seems to be the only one doing that in his original post declaring the apparently innate superiority of food from the Middle East over Pakistani cuisine.
