I fear not fat, but grains and sugar. Except for sugar in chocolate. Having a turkey sandwich right now, turkey rolled up in cheese with bacon jam.Out with the carbs and sugars,in with the fat.
This is great news. Now I've got my fingers crossed for cigars!
I'm pretty sure that if I live long enough, there will be a study that says bacon, booze, and babes increases your lifespan by 15 years. Of course you can add another 5 if the babe is your wife!

Not sure it will. The idea that grain is bad is gaining steam. Now I have no idea about the folks that are gluten intolerant, but more people are choosing to avoid gluten not by necessity. Of course you can always find someone claiming dropping one thing from their diet turned them from sickly to superman.how long before the anti-gluten thing goes away?
I'm waiting for the anti-carb thing to go away... as I guiltily eat pasta and rice. Well, maybe not so guiltily.how long before the anti-gluten thing goes away?
Agree. There's always some new food item to avoid and it goes in phases. Don't overdo any food group, but unless you have some medical reason for avoiding something, most things are OK in moderation. I got this advice a long time ago from my mother who was a dietician. Of course she would probably be seen as a dinosaur now, but it's worked OK for me.You must eat carbs, because that's where the body gets it's power, but don't over-do it. That applies to all food groups. Simple.
Full of carbs or full of fat?Damn the "scientific" studies. I'm dying with a full stomach.
This is a pet peeve of mine, every time I go to a grocery store for just normal butter I have to search through multiple shelves of spreads claiming they are more butter like than the other. I just want regular butter!!!
This stuff drives me nuts. I don't want the diet, low-fat, lite, or other special versions of things. I want normal food, yet for so many products you now have to search for that.
It seems like most people are on diets and I think that's the problem. You shouldn't go on a diet you should just find a balance between lifestyle and food that works for you and do that all the time.
When I go on low carbs, my energy level goes through the roof, I sleep better and everything works better. Unfortunately, carbs taste so darned good and I have moments of weakness that can last for a couple months. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
A lot of friends are eating paleo, and are lean, healthy and extremely fit.

There's always water, of course; but I refuse to play into the bottled water racket. If I don't bring enough of my own, I'd rather drink out of a leaky fire hydrant than pay what stores are charging for bottled water. Dopey yuppies complain about the gas prices and whine about global warming, but then they pay ~ $8.00 / gallon for water that had to be schlepped in on smoke-belching, diesel-fueled trucks that get 4 MPG. Sheesh.

That makes two of us. Tap water (in most places) is OK by me. I just refill an empty pop bottle I keep in the truck. YEP! I'm cheap.
Yeah the US has a great municipal water supply. This whole filtering water/bottled water movement has always been perplexing to me, seems like a bunch of people searching for a problem they can buy a solution for.
That said, I'm on well water with a high level of iron oxide so I do use a britta filter on the sink... usually. Sometimes the bathroom sink is closer and I just cup my hands under the faucet and drink. That or the garden hose. Do kids still drink from garden hoses? I used to... well still do sometimes.

Yum! I still remember the stroganoff my aunt would cook when I was a kid. She lived to her late 80s and was active until the day she died.stroganoff! includes everything that has been banned or advocated for at one time or another.
butter, egg noodles, beef (or chicken), sour cream.....
