Now, I may not get this all right . . . I just saw a TV
program on I think PBS that was saying the big problem it is
going to be to convince people that lard, real butter, fat
is actually good and that the stuff they've been saying for
years, is good is really bad like margarine etc.
Seems that hydrogenated fats are the problem and are used in
everything today because they were suposed to be good vs.
the BAD natural stuff. Well, what bother some researchers
was that when people started eliminating butter, lard etc,
instead of the artery/heart problems going down, the number
got worse and have continued to get worse for 30 years.
Apparently the gov. knew about it and all kinds of payoffs
were done to keep this info under wraps. As I said, from
memory, a couple weeks ago.
So it appears that the Polish diet compared to what one
would normally eat is actually better for you. Hard to
believe because all commercial breads, processed meats,
baked goods, imitation butters are all made with these
artery clogging hydrogenated oils. Some manufacturers are
starting to eliminate them and go back to things like palm
oil because it actually does less damage.
Gawd, leave it to big business to screw the public for
the sake of the almight dollar/currency and screwed them
for 30 years.
If you see the program advetising similar, check it out. It
was quite enlightening.

Quoted message said:No, this is not a bad-taste ethnic joke. This appeared in
Wednesday's Chicago Tribune, under the headline of "Praise
the Lard." A Polish physician named Jan Kwasniewski
published a book stating that the "ideal nutritional combo
came from eating three grams of fat for every one gram of
protein and half a gram of carbohydrates." In practice,
this amounts to 250 grams of fat and 2900 total Calories
per day. This diet has taken off among the Polish
community in Chicago, particularly senior citizens. The
sample meal plan published in the paper looks like this:
BREAKFAST 2 slices homemade headcheese loaf with mustard 1
soft-boiled egg 2 cheese-lard pancakes with butter Tea
with lemon (no sugar)
LUNCH 2 slices baked blood sausage fried in bacon fat Tea
with lemon (no sugar)
DINNER Broth with 2 egg yolks Hash browns 1 strip bacon
This makes Atkins look downright prudent, something I
never thought I'd say.
