Chapter 28 - 28: Advertisement (1)
The Empire was a society without a developed food culture.
The asceticism of the church had made no attempt to develop it.
Naturally, the food was tasteless, and few people wanted to eat many of those tasteless meals.
The slimness of their people was a phenomenon, not a choice.
In a society without a developed food culture, 'processed food' appeared.
The rise of processed foods awakened the desire for gourmet food, and a variety of cuisines began to emerge.
With more food to eat, it was only natural that the slim population would gain weight.
The obesity rate has been rising, albeit slowly, since the introduction of cola.
The obesity rate, which had been rising silently, rose sharply with ramen noodles and exploded with wyvern chicken.
The problem was that it exploded in the wrong direction.
