Eat the fat!

I didn't mind bread and butter growing up, but the WORST fat I detest to
this day is in the inside cuts of prime rib. All those wide, uncooked, off
white rivers of fat to have to carve around! Might as well eat raw bacon
fat, imho. Fat is flavor only to a point.

The prime rib crispy ends were my favorite! To coin a phrase, that was like
jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire! :9

I was overweight back in the 1940's. I voluntarily checked myself
into the Soviet Gulag Penal system where I lost weight, my stomach
problems were cured, my blood sugar became normal, my blood pressure
stabilized, and I started to grow most of my hair back. I was 65
years old at the time, and when released, I married a 25 year old
buxom beauty from Texas! I'm still kick'n after all these years. I
converted to Mormonism and have many many wives. Too numerous to
mention. You can too!

One of the books I read (I believe it was Gary Taubes) said people do best
on their indigenous diet. The problem with Americans? Unless you're a
native American and eat *their* indigenous diet (I doubt very many still
do), you are screwed.

The obesity epidemic hit Early Americans (not native, out of Africa and
all) some time ago. A combination of being largely forced off their
previous diet, government food handouts to fight poverty (and of not
necessarily the healthiest food options i.e. "government cheese") and
less physical activity combined to hit their population pretty hard. Add
in the alcoholism epidemic they had as well and it was pretty ugly. The
Indian casino boom has helped a great deal in both fighting poverty and
providing for a better diet and better education, which is improving
their obesity epidemic.

you just posting whatever you think will sound good?

That would work if people still labored as they did in their
"indigenous" times. Take our local population here on the Texas, Mexico
border. The culture was agrarian. Indigenous people worked in the fields
all day long. The rice, beans and tortillas (read that as carbs) was
appropriate for the high caloric needs of hard field work in a hot climate.

These same people now have more sedentary occupations and the high
carbohydrate diet is what's making them diabetic and fat.

Cut off and split the florets into small segments and add to a tossed
garden salad.

With a vegetable peeler pare away the fiberous part of the stems and
shred the tender parts to make broccoli slaw. Shred in a little
purple cabbage and carrots to make a very colorful and tasty dish...
serve garnished with raisins and sunflower seeds.

I try to always eat quality fresh veggies raw. I would only use old
limp broccoli for soup, or try to revive it by steaming.

The other day a visitor from NYC brought me a bottle of Greek Oxymel
(Ciotrofi); made from aged wines, honey, fig extract, and currant
vinegar, very tasty on salads... I think it's nicer than balsamic
vinegar.

So cook your prime rib roast and the fat won't be RAW. That inside
white fat is probably the most digestible of the whole roast in case
you don't know it. If you don't like to choke down the slimy crap,
save it and cook it later or save it and invite some native Alaskans
for a feast.

Without having read the article, I'd be inclined to believe that
statement. It's pretty well known that lots of low-fat products are not
especially healthful; they are high in calories and sugar?to compensate
for palatability due to the reduction in the fat content.

Who eats their indigenous diet, especially those of European heritage?
One of the staples of the European diet is potatoes, unheard of until a
few hundred years ago. Then there is the tomato, which is also a late
comer to Europe. Fruits like peaches and cherries came from Asia. A
lot of the old time European staple foods like barley, turnip, beets and
parsnip aren't even very popular. It is little wonder that Europeans
were so quick to jump on the New World imports.

The thing I am still wondering about is how I ended up with coronary
artery blockage is that I never did eat a lot of rich food. I am lactose
intolerant and never was a milk drinker. I never consumed much cream or
cream. I did not eat a lot of fried foods. I never liked fat. I usually
cooked and at lean meats and if there was fat on my meat I cut it off
and threw it away, or gave it to the dog. I didn't smear butter on
bread and rolls and rarely put it on vegetables. I only had bacon once
or twice a week and did not eat a lot of eggs.

When I had to change my diet after a coronary problem it was hard to
reduce the fat consumption, because there was not a lot to begin with.

I only had one artery that was blocked,but it was 100% blocked.

I liked most vegetables and they were part of my dinners. Perhaps the
problem was the lack of fruit in my diet. A lot of fruits are hard on my
digestive system so I tended not to eat a lot of them. When I met with a
dietitian that was her biggest criticism. She said that I had to have a
lot more fruit.

Cook it and eat it and make soup from leftovers if there are any.
That's what I say!

My wife loves fat. She eats a low carb diet and figures she can eat lots
of meat and fat as long as she has lots of fruit and vegetables and
avoids carbs. It works for her. She looks great.

I used to cut the fat off my meat and leave it on the plate, thinking
that it would go to the dog. One day I walked into the kitchen and found
my wife eating it. Hell, I didn't like it along with the meat. I can't
imagine eating the fat on its own.
