Healthy food: Should we be eating more fat?

[Guest guest]

For breakfast, Barry Groves had an extra large egg and a 3oz slice of

liver, fried in lard. He washed it down with a cup of cocoa made with

double cream.

At lunch, Barry, 72, who lives near Oxford with his wife , 70,

will enjoy pork chops, with the fat left on, plus a few green

vegetables in butter.

Finally, the couple will have a light supper consisting of cheese

with a home-grown apple or pear, topped with cream, followed by more

cocoa...

In his new book, Trick And Treat: How Healthy Eating Is Making Us

Ill, he argues we’re being tricked into eating an unhealthy diet so

we can be treated with new drugs such as cholesterol-lowering statins.

His advice is: “Cut down on bread and eat more fish, eggs, butter —

any animal protein, anything that used to move around.”

that really cheered me up!  i believe, as ms. fallon does, that perhaps our

bodies can REALLY protect itself if it just had those good fats....and then

perhaps we can stop being so anal about eating cocoa and natural sweets?  all i

have to do is pick up my fanny farmer cookbook and realize what a total

contradiction to our modern diet is compared to what we used to consume.  i also

love to see hear how the amish eat good fats and pies as well....very cool.
