Here! Unfortunately, my family falls into that category. Over the last couple years, I have been trying to cook more whole foods, use olive oil, and buy whole grain breads, but it is hard sometimes. Sometimes I have to go with More Filling/Less Money items. I think you gals are right about the chemicals, and such, so I am trying to make little changes as I can. I would be interested if anyone who buys and cooks this way is also trying to lose weight. Or I guess I should say, who IS losing weight. Anyone's thoughts on this would be appreciated. :-) Here! Here!

I have a friend that recently switched to butter so it made me look into it as well. I agree with you, but I will say, that while God did make the animals and their products for us to eat, I believe in meats and the like being consumed in moderation, which I think is another thing that led to obesity---overeating! People that cannot eat things in moderation! Thanks for this. I have a friend that recently switched to butter so it made me look into it as well.

Guess what it is! Eggs bacon (no Nitrates and nitrites of course!) fish meat and veggies. No grains sugar juices or fruit for a couple of months only. I was told to eat only butter olive oil or coconut oil and avocados. Later I can add back sprouted bread and a little fruit. I can use real cream on berries in the morning only. I'll let you know how it works. I did the Atkins diet years ago and within 3 weeks lowered my Cholesterol by 100 points, and lost 20 lb! With a high fat diet! Proves it the low fat junk that's killing us off!! Thanks for a hilarious and informative blog! You go girl! I am on a diet to lower my VLDL and Triglycerides and to raise my HDL. Guess what it is!

I cannot say enough how much I support you in butterfressing. Ever heard of Yogurt butter? Absolute nectar of the gods, best eaten on fresh German bread. Good on you.

Good for you Laura! I can't wait to hear all the great advice I know you will give. We try to eat everything REAL. I just love my farm fresh milk! What upsets me the most is all of the new "organic" or "healthy" foods that have hit the market lately. Just because it says it's organic/healthy doesn't mean it is. A friend of mine started buying the whole wheat white bread for her kids, thinking it was so much healthier than the white bread. When I made her read the ingredients it was made with the same "enriched flour" that the white bread was! Not a bit healthier! Store bought bread it horrible for you - It is loaded with preservatives to keep it fresh until you get it. Well, I guess that's my soap-box! Woohoo!! Good for you Laura!

You have a lot of folks interested in hearing more including myself! I am very interested to hear more about how to make it happen, I'm already all for REAL food, it is getting harder and harder to find real food and not to mention fitting it into a budget. I have to feed a lot of people a lot of food and really want it it be real food. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to reading more! Wow!

That's why I prefer to cook from scratch. However, I disagree about eating dairy products. I'm reading "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell (available from Amazon.com). I'm discovering what science tells about fats and proteins from animal sources. And I'm convinced that fats and proteins from plant sources are the healthiest fats and proteins.
