If I want something without fat in it, I'll drink water. Otherwise, I'll eat ice cream (not ice milk) butter (not margarine) milk (not 2%) and cheese, with all the natural fats in them. I will also cook with lard and eat red meat.

One's body makes cholesterol, and if one doesn't eat natural fats, the body will try to replace the needed fats with the worst kind of cholesterol. Which is why folks who take cholesterol-lowering drugs find they don't work after a while....

(One of my family members gave up fat and her hair fell out. In gobs. She now cooks with coconut oil.)

By G-d, that was interesting - the health mullahs are wrong, as usual!

I cook with olive oil, eat red meat at least 3 times a week, eat a dozen eggs a week, use butter, drink 2% milk, am over 50, and my combined cholesterol was at 167 just the other day.
