some healthy choices.

That's what I was kidding you about. Cardiologists decided in the '50s that, since coronary plaque was fat and cholesterol, we should stop eating products high in those two items. And eat "healthy grains" instead. Turns out that diet switch made us fat and caused Type II diabetes. Which is counter-intuitive.

But the concept that it's wrong to eat things like butter, etc, is so ingrained in us that it's hard to change.

Peter,

I am not what you would call a healthy eater, but even I have do try to make some healthy choices.

As far as "healthy choices", there are fundamental disagreements what those are. 2 people will tell you with a straight face "X will kill you" and "X will cure you". And a third person will tell you "Eating X will make no difference whatsoever"...

Now, you can substitute pasta for X, and then butter for X...

Joe
