So long low fat!

“It is now increasingly recognized that the low-fat campaign has been based on little scientific evidence and may have caused unintended health problems.”

I'm super happy about this.  I've been saying that animal fats are healthier and healthy for people, but people don't listen, probably because I don't have a fancy science degree.  I should just forward this article, each time someone asks me how I stay slim, because when I tell them, they roll their eyes, or make some joke about lard and continue to get fat.

It's a bit funny that I came across this news today, because so far, I had a bacon and tomato sandwich for breakfast and then one for lunch.  It was one slice of rye per meal, fried on both sides in the bacon grease in my cast iron pan, so the bacon crisped up to perfection, and the grease didn't go to waste, then topped with delicious Ayrshire bacon from a local pig farm and tomatoes and onions from my backyard.  Awesome!

This is such a treat.  I don't eat like this all the time, every day, but since I have the bacon and tomatoes are in season, I'm totally indulging.  One open sandwich per meal is totally healthy and nutritious.  I had   a fresh peach in between breakfast and lunch, which was delicious, so sweet and juicy, as it should be.  I bought a basket of peaches, and some bruised when the basket fell off my seat, when I had to slam on my brakes, so I made peach pie, also delicious, but I will post that later.
