Re: Better alternative
Precisely! Fat got vilified, then carbs, and now sugar. We're left with food items with lab chemicals devoid of any real flavour and in some cases abominable.
I see them all the time, going in this months' diet of fashion but then start opening packets next minute because their body is hungry. Then stating its not working for them. Or worse, they starve themselves 2 or 3 sizes down, then go back to their old ways (the ones that got them fat in the first place) and guess what happens next?!!
People haven't realised the fact that if you overdo you'll, well, get fat! Just drink and eat sensibly, do a little exercise and for the vast majority of people, that'll be just fine.
I'd rather fat, carbs and sugar any day. All in good measure. At home we're well fed and none of us is anywhere near overweight. Maybe cooking from scratch may require some effort but it does have its magic!
