Within three weeks，the formerly healthy Gameau became moody and sluggish （迟钝的）．A doctor gave him the shocking diagnosis：He was beginning to develop fatty liver（肝） disease．According to the Mayo Clinic，the most severe outcome for fatty liver disease is liver failure．
Gameau reportedly consumed 40teaspoons of sugar per day，or slightly more than the average teenager worldwide．According to the American Heart Association （AHA），the average American consumes 20teaspoons of sugar daily．The AHA's daily recommendations for sugar consumption are 6teaspoons for women and 9teaspoons for men．
Doctors called Gameau's mental functioning"unstable"，and the father-to-be reportedly put on nearly four inches of visceral （内脏的） fat around his waist．He was on the fast track to obesity．Gameau said his diet left him feeling hungry，no matter how much he ate．His final meal，which consisted of a juice，a jam sandwich，a bar，and a handful of other snacks，is similar to an ordinary child's school lunchbox．"Sadly，it was very easy to fit comfortably into the small plastic container，"Gameau wrote on his blog．"The last meal is for all the people out there，especially parents，who are led to believe they are doing the right and healthy thing for their children．They are making an effort，yet they are horribly let down by the lack of integrity in marketing and packaging strategies．"

3．In Spain，there are as many gazpachos（西班牙冷汤菜）as there are Spanish people．Everyfamily here has its own recipe with its own little changes．
I much prefer gazpacho mil do in a food mill，as that：allows tor some texture （口感），and that is the way it was made when I was young，Nowadays it is done in a blender，an electric machine tor mixing soft foods mil liquid together，but it does not torn out exactly the same．Machine-blended gazpacho with bread and olive oil is more like a salmorejo （chilled tomato soup），but without that soup's creamy smoothness．
Although tomatoes and peppers arrived on our tables by the 16th century，red gazpachos that mod them did not become popular until the 19th century．Big landowner families that had a lot of country employees generally had a"gazpachero"，a man who would prepare gazpacho for the peasants working on their estates．These men made gazpacho by pounding  the vegetable mixture in an olive wood bowl，as in a mortar．They were very patients，as it took quite some time．
The main difference between gazpacho and some of its variations lies in texture and emulsion （乳状液）．In a classic Spanish gazpacho，olive oil is simply stirred
in at the end； in salmorejo，porra and other soups？the olive oil is emulsified，resulting in rd brighter orange colour and a smooth，creamy texture．Pipirrana's components are the same as those in gazpacho，but  they arc cut into pieces； with the addition of a little water or ice cubes，it turns into a liquid salad，and the bread is served separately，for dipping．
Gazpacho is a sophisticated （复杂的）dish that takes to a multitude of variations．But with all its versatility （易变），it still requires a certain balance of components．In particular，too much vinegar or garlic can ruin it
Here in Spain，gazpacho can be a drink，a dip，a sauce or seasoning，a starter，a main dish，even a dessert．It is eaten at any time ot the day and at any time during a meal．Nothing is more delicious than a piece of toast with a little gazpacho or salmorejo for breakfast!Gazpacho goes well with almost everything but is difficult to pair with wine．The best wines to drink with gazpacho are sherries （fortified wines from Jerez）and whites．
