I used to joke to people about me being the only fat veggie they are likely to see. Over the next few years, reading and learning more, I evolved again and became a strict vegan. I can look back now and see it so clearly. When we gave up meat, cheese became our staple. It was from the health food store, and rennetless.
More oil makes it taste better.
Finally a year ago, I was able to return to a healthy weight. It was not the knowledge that most of us eventually learned, about eating all you want as long as it's low fat. It was the new, wonderful turn of events in the food market which has made low fat eating delicious, nutritious and easy. If people turned to low fat eating, even as little as ten years ago, they wouldn't have had anything to eat except bland, tasteless food. A few who knew and understood how fats, including oils, should be used sparingly, would have had to spend hours cooking everything from scratch.
