Those who raise fish or animals are always concerned about food conversion rate (or ratio). According to a friend who raises bangus (milkfish), food conversion rate simply means this: If you give this much feeds to the fish you are culturing, you will produce this much kilos of fish in a certain number of days. (Sorry, I forgot the ratio, got to find my notebook where I wrote it then blog it later).

Anyway, my concern here is the food conversion rate among the human species, the womankind specially. Why does it take very little food to make too much flesh, or too much body fat?

Don’t lecture me on the calorie intake or calorie burned ek ek. Been there, done that.
I’m just worried about the extra kilos I’m lugging around, especially around the belly area. Just about three months ago, the extra kilos are not there. Now my pants can hardly fit and I can’t afford to buy an entire new wardrobe.

Don’t lecture me about doing regular exercise either. I’ve brought a bunch of CDs on exercises and well, they’re there.

I just think creation’s so unfair. We have to feed animals and fish that much feeds for them to build that much flesh. We humans eat very little and yet we gain too much weight in too little time.
