I'm not sure I follow all this blather about "eating healthy." First of all, the specifics of healthy eating are astonishingly fluid - first butter is bad, then not; eggs'll kill you, then eggs are a perfect nutritional choice; oil is bad (except for good oil); bacon is bad and yet the Two Fat Ladies Who Cooked started each recipe with "line your baking dish with bacon." It goes on and on.
I am a student of the "everything is OK in proper portions" school. Just because my portion of whipped cream is way larger than yours or I feel I'm getting my vegetables simply by letting them sit on my plate - not through actual ingestion - my portions are proper as far as I'm concerned.
Then there are the fads - gluten-free is a current one. As the name implies, gluten is the glue that holds baked products together. Ever eaten a gluten-free cookie? One bite and the rest of the cookie is a pile of crumbs in your lap. Heck, the Chinese even make fried gluten balls - mmm. And who hasn't eaten glue in kindergarten? I know it held me together.
One wonders how mankind has made it thus far in our evolution, what with - until now - being blissfully ignorant of the evils of gluten and its ilk.
