  • Hmm I think it's fine if someone is a social butterfly, they don't have bad intentions etc. I am talking about someone who seems like you can trust them but actually they have other loyalties, I live in a place where people get arrested for supporting democracy for example

  • I’ve had friends that were friends with ex-cons, etc.

    you do you but I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who'd been in prison. If I worked in a field where they do background checks i would absolutely need to know if my friends were friends with those in prison. There's a difference between dictating who people are friends with and knowing who people you give information to are close with.

  • i’d be very surprised if there were not methods waiting to be discovered for prepping bean paste, fish sauce, doubanjiang etc in more health-conscious ways.

    i think the problem is all of these pastes are fermented and i at least don't know how to ferment something without using a lot of salt. even make your own doubanjiang paste will tell you to use a lot of salt to ferment the beans

  • I think some kind of food is just not designed to be healthy. It was made to be tasty without thinking about health. You can either make it more healthy and less tasty or you can eat it less often (as a treat).

    yep, that's true. our typical dishes are actually not much meat and have a lot of vegetables like water spinach dishes

  • I think you were the only one who understood my question

    Cutting down on the sauces is a good alternative and what I'm doing in the meantime; unfortunately I think these sauces are heavy contributors to the flavour of the dish so the result is the flavour is kinda weak in the dish. Doubanjiang or gochujang for example are staples of the respective Asian cuisines and dishes.

  • Many western foods made at home can easily made with less salt and rarely require sugar to be added.

    I can't reduce the salt or sugar in the premade sauces that are required in east asian dishes. I don't know what duck sauce is but we don't eat that in asia; it's also a condiment and not a required ingredient in our dishes like fermented bean paste

    this sample recipe for taiwanese spicy beef soup which is a classic taiwanese dish as you can see requires both rock sugar and salt to be added to the already salt doubanjiang: https://seonkyounglongest.com/taiwanese-beef-noodle-soup/

  • hi, thanks for the response. I am looking more to help Canadian families like those in rural areas or those suffering from child poverty; i am not referring to new immigrants/refugees.

    For example, there are programs where you can sponsor a child in a developing country; i am looking for programs where children/families in canada can be sponsored to alleviate poverty.
