Why Eat starchY Eoods2

Why do we eat starchy foods fried
In fat when we know that the fat sur
rounds the starch grains and prevents
the digestive fluids from reaching
them? Starches are carbohydrates.
Their digestion IL started by diges-
tive juices In the mouth. Fats are not
dlgested until they reach the intes-
tines. Hence the layer Of fat which
surrounds the starch particles In fried
foods Is not broken down until 1t is
too late to digest the starch.
Butter and olive oil are fats which
are emulslhed In the stomach, and
foods fried In them are not considered
indigestible.--Popular Science Monthly.
