In reply to varsha. Thanks Varsha for this useful information on fats. Yes I do the same for kids, but for me and my hubby, I use it sparingly. We do take nuts more often though for the good fats in it. These posts are my experiments with food and may be outdated, its good to get meaningful suggestions and advice from people more informed.Thanks again Varsha.

and Sanj! except for the fat confusion,the post scores high as usual.

And believe me I have transitioned from fat eating phobia to a stage where I embrace the good fats with open arms.It has been amazing for my skin,hair and energy levels.

Sanj! please bear with me but this pyramid is totally outdated.

Today,we know that healthy amounts of Good fats(unrefined oils as well as saturated fats like butter and ghee) are absolutely essential for good health.More so for growing children.
We need to be wary only of the refined oils and processed stuff(trans-fats laden sugary things).
This is fro Walter Willet Head of the chair of Nutrition of Harvard School Of Public Health.
Please feed the kids full cream milk and douse their veggies in butter and olive oils(Extra virgin) Get cold pressed oils if you can.They are essential.

We do need such reminder notes for ourselves to tell us how far we’ve come from being ‘natural’ in terms of food. That was worth a read! Great effort!

Very informative post. I have always tried to serve my family fresh, well balance healthy foods. My daughter is a good example of how my effort has paid off. She also stays out of the sun or wears sunscreen if she is out in the sun(hard to avoid the sun living in Florida) I know that doesn’t have anything to do with food, but it a great way to stay healthy and younger longer.
