Five reasons you should be eating it. No one should be eating low-fat dairy, or low-fat food in general. It’s all an abomination based completely on junk nutritional science over decades.
I should note that Costco only sells zero-fat Fage yogurt (last I checked). They make a 2%, but not a whole-fat version. But Trader Joe’s has started to make a whole-milk version, and it tastes great, and is only two bucks, compared to $2.67 for lower-fat versions, and more than that for Fage.
This is the only reason I choke down the swill every morning. It’s totally on faith.
It’s also worth noting (as I’ve long suspected) that there does seem to be a genetic component to its effects, which is probably why I a) don’t like the stuff and b) it has no discernible effect on me.
A lot of other food producers profited from the demonization of fat. This is the biggest health disaster in history, I think.
[Update a while later]
There is no reason to even consider eating reduced-fat cheese. Same with all dairy, including milk. Low-fat milk is a nutritional abomination.
It’s almost impossible to find whole-milk mozarella, at least shredded. Fage won’t produce a whole-milk Greek yogurt; best you can do is two percent. And Costco only sells fat-free. Fortunately, Trader Joe’s has started selling its own brand, in whole-milk, at a lower price, so that’s our new yogurt.
This seems like too much work for me, given that I’ve never had a good cup of coffee (it’s just a matter of to what degree it tastes less awful), but here’s a guide to roasting your own.
This is an excellent example of how simplistic too many people’s (including medical professionals) view of diet, dietary fat and obesity remain. The simply notion that you are what you eat is stupid.
Seriously, they not only taste bad, but they’re bad for you, and don’t help with weight loss. But they’re big business.
No, “journalists,” it’s not not fattening.
How they ruined my barbecue (he means grilling).
…isn’t just ripping its customers off, it’s endangering their health.
I rarely shop there. The prices are outrageous, and the benefits vastly overstated. “Organic” is largely a scam. I never pay a premium for it.
…continues to preach junk science:
The American Heart Association recommends a heart-healthy dietary pattern emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other nutritious foods and specifically that at least half of grain consumption should be whole grains. Whole grains provide many nutrients, such as fiber, B vitamins, and minerals, which are removed during the refining process.
No protein, no fat. This is the kind of diet that helped kill my father from his second heart attack decades ago, at age 55.
