food

We just watched a documentary that is entertaining, funny, and informative.  It is an answer to the documentary "Supersize Me" and is called "Fat Head." We streamed it from Netflix. (Have I done enough promotions, yet?)

I found it fascinating.  I have always been interested in knowing about fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and what makes some people fat and others not so much.  This documentary takes a hard look at what information we have been fed (pun intended) and the "studies" that support them.

So, start giving your children whole milk (their brains need the fats), use butter, eat meat. Low-fat diets can cause depression, saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease.  Trust mother nature.

Go to the website.  I recommend it.

I read a book recently called "Real Food" that taught those same things. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables, of course, but including milk, butter, and other whole foods in your diet and why it's so much healthier. It was fascinating!

I LOVE BUTTER!!!

Haha but in all seriousness, I definitely plan on watching that this week. I love documentaries...especially those on food.

I'll have to watch it. With a large vat of popcorn. I see it as health food--whole grain corn (fiber!) plus real butter. Mmmmm...

I'll leave the whole milk for Annabelle, though.

Let me get this straight, eating fats such as milk chocolate, bacon, and buttery popcorn prevent depression? You needed a movie to teach you this? :)
