Monkey eating Ice Golas!

The Indian Ice Gola, a type of ice-cream is famous. So popular is it that monkeys too love it! This is a kind of instant ice candy made from crushed ice. You need to add salt and make small ice balls. Pour a sweet and colored flavouring syrup on it and viola! A gola is ready to eat. Golas are typical of India and sold everywhere by vendors, particularly at markets, fairs and tourist places. These photographs are of monkeys eating the golas thrown away by customers.

This monkey is making the most of a brown gola at a tourist spot in Mahabaleshwar.

If one has found a gola, another is not far behind. They are biting hard!

This monkey is worried that the gola is dripping water, and never mind the garbage around! Sadly people discard the food in open garbage bins.

Cronut craze

It's the new craze in western countries, this sinful dessert which is a combination of a doughnut and croissant. It's deep fried like a doughnut but the ring shaped dough also has layers. And layers mean more fat which is placed between the layers! These are medium sized cronuts from Theos, a bakery in South Mumbai. Must be at least 350 calories each although one cannot be sure how much fat is actually used inbetween the layers. A plain doughnut is usually around 200 calories for a medium sized one.

A cronut is one of the worst high calories culprits. Pure junk. While sugar, white flour in abundance plus far too much fat. Mostly refined oil used for frying. Theos says they use butter for the dough not margarine, but most bakeries used margarine in their bakery products and margarine contains the dangerous transfats. It's a hydrogenated fat and bakery products found in supermarkets in India all contain this. Causes the arteries to clog. Best make your favorites at home, using butter.

Chocolate Donuts photograph and illustration

These are photographs of chocolate coated donuts. Donuts are a high calorie food. Calories in donuts can range from 200 Kcal to 400 Kcal, depending on whether they are cream filled and also their size. A plain medium sized donut (without a topping) can be about 200 calories while a cream-filled large donut can contain 400 calories. A 75 gm jam filled donut is around 250 calories.
Donuts are an unhealthy food. Junk Food. They have little fiber, but are high in sugar and salt. They are ofcourse high in fat content as they are deep fried. If cream filled, they contain even more fat. The flour used is white refined flour or  "maida."

Please avoid eating these doughtnuts because they are fried in Crisco oil which is in part a full hydrogenated fat. Apparently they have re-formulated the oil in 2004 to reduce the transfats and it is less than one gram of trans fat per serving (the law allows them to declare such low levels as zero transfat). These doughnuts  are from madaboutdonuts but other doughnuts too will be fried in vegetable shortening too, perhaps worse than Crisco. It was sad to see people thronging the shop for these doughnuts which will only will increase their chances of getting a heart attack. A recent study showed that this type of fat (reformulated to reduce trans fats) is not much better than the original full of trans fat version as it "increased volunteers' blood sugar by 20 percent while simultaneously lowering the body's HDL cholesterol."

This is the same picture as above but it has been worked on in Photoshop and turned into a colored illustration.
