[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they prefer the taste of Cool Whip, margarine, or non-dairy creamer, I judge their taste buds. If they like it because it has happy associations, I'm glad it makes them happy, but I'd probably leave it on the side of my plate.[/quote]

Do you like the taste of butter?  I love real butter!  Lucky for me, I never liked that crap margarine my parents fell for and served everywhere, they were told it is healthy back then.  I always bought butter, now I found out that without knowing at the time I did my arteries a favor. My Dad had a quadruple bypass and 99% blocked arteries, compliments of "eat margarine Dr" and propaganda back then.[/quote]

So he only ate margarine?  No beef or other artery-clogging real food?[/quote]
Of course he ate other things, but you need to educate yourself some.  Any natural fat can eventually be dissolved in our bodies, but not hydrogenated fat, it never goes away. One is a natural fat, the other one is unnatural fat. There is only one kind of natural trans fat occurring in cows and other ruminants, but it is insignificant in percentage. My father ate moderately, mostly soups and stews. My grandmother who insisted on cooking with lard and butter long after shortening was a fad, never had cholesterol or heart disease, died of old age. I am not saying this to preach, but because I am seriously concerned about what we and our kids are having as food options today. In most store bought cookies, chips, even peanut butter there is trans fat(+sugar) which makes it a lethal mix for early heart disease and diabetes. So when we substituted butter and lard for "Healthy" vegetable oil which is hydrogenated, we started ingesting this like nothing before.  Because you probably knew not to eat too much butter and whip cream, right? So, even if on the label for that peanut butter says 0 transfat, it is not true.  Read the ingredients, and it will most likely say "partially hydrogenated oil" and that way the scam is allowed, because it is under certain percentage, but it is still there. Now imagine 40 years of eating peanut butter, chips cooked in trans fat, cookies, pies, just about anything at all might have it, and you are feeding your kids 2 decades of fat that sticks to their heart and arteries before they ever finished college.  Add to that enormous amounts of sugar, that is also know to raise cholesterol and that is what I worry about. I understand maybe it is not my concern what others are eating, but still I worry as that means that anytime I give my kids money to buy food after school or go out, they are eating something that is making them sick. So, it should be an issue for all of us, but the food industry is too powerful and shuts down most effort by scientist who are telling it like it is. I would think that this is common knowledge among people here, and more educated people in the US, but I am finding that it isn't.  I mentioned this to my SIL who's DD is obese, and has been since young age, and she knew nothing about it, despite battling her DD's obesity and her own weight for years and years and being highly educated.[/quote]

Sweetie, you are WAY too invested in this. You need a new hobby. Maybe knitting. Because no matter what you eat and no matter what your kids eat, you're all gonna die of something. However, if you can knit, it probably won't be of hypothermia. So you can feel good about that.[/quote]

I bet you are the same pp as unclench poster. Go knit yourself a brain.  I might die reading your condescending post. Does it make you feel all tingly being a biatch or you just forgot to take your Prozac today? But, lucky for me, you won't be around too long, seeing how you eat trans fats and are lazy as heck sitting down knitting.  Just you keep eating your crap food, natural selection has the upside.[/quote]
