Righto!

One of the more hilarious memes of recent years is the healthy, low0fat Mexican diet.

We used to eat regularly with a recent Mexican immigrant family in Billings. Only time I’ve ever seen anybody with a 5 gallon tub of lard on the floor next to the stove.

You can cook healthy, low-fat food using some of the same flavorings a traditional Mexican cook uses, but it will not taste anything near as good as the plate of enchiladas a grandmother hands you when you come by their trailer with the children's Sunday School homework.

That's just a fact of life. Peasant cooking is bad for you unless you get barely enough to survive.
