Default Re: Washington Post: Butter is Back

[QUOTEThe diet pendulum may have needed a push, but Lichtenstein fears that we're just replacing the low-fat dogma with some other simplistic diet debate, such as good fat vs. bad fat. "The argument shouldn't be reduced to stick margarine vs. butter," she says. "That's just trying to find another simple answer."[/QUOTE]

I absolutely agree. Seems that we are trying to replace "fat is bad" with "carbs are bad". The former message led us down the wrong road for 20 years, why should we believe that replacing it with another simplistic message will be any better. Seems to me history is repeating itself.
