Does Skim Milk Come From a Cow?

You are afraid of fat. You have been taught that fat is bad for you and it should be avoided. Fat has been accused of many things from making you gain weight to causing your heart attack. The reality is you need fat to waterproof your skin, for insulation, for stored energy, to build cell membranes and to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The problem arises when you eat too much fat. Too much of anything can be bad; if you eat too many carrots you will turn orange.

You mean well when you eat your salad without oil, or you choose a diet dressing, but you are losing the nutrition in the salad because your body will not be able to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins. Fat adds richness to food. The richer taste enables you to feel satisfied and to feel fuller quicker. If you do not feel satisfied you will eat more, and eating more defeats the purpose of eating fat free food. Fat also adds flavor and, therefore, pleasure.

Let’s Cook Tonight® believes in eating real food with real flavor. Real food has fat. Whole, full fat, milk is the way it comes from a cow. Skim milk is processed milk. Real food has flavor. Compare the taste of whole milk to skim milk. For maximum health, flavor and enjoyment, it makes sense to eat fat. Just do not eat too much of a good thing.

Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.

Simple cooking idea: Store ground coffee in a glass jar in the freezer. In plastic, it will absorb orders.
