tgiving it up

This is  your typical (sorta kinda) LowFat Turkey Day Dinner.

The butter is the fake kind. Same with the cool whip.

Gravy - from a can.

Omega 3's are a fat.

Did you know that?

They are not a mystical entity!

They are an Essential Fatty Acid.

Part of the class of fats called PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids!

PUFA's!

People on a low fat diet MIGHT NOT be getting all the

ESSENTIAL fatty acids their body needs.

Maybe why our diets go hay-wire at times.

And they say that excess Omega 6 causes 

huge problems in the body. And the "mind!"

Al movements and thoughts of the body

are made possible only by fats.

All conductivity.

Everything!

All the synapses and myelin.

This is what the body (in it's amazing wisdom) pulls from - to form itself.

And heal itself.

Notice - if you will -

The walnuts have as much Omega 6 

as almost the rest of the meal!

YIKES!

The serving size here is one cup.

But that is about 2 or 3 handfuls...

to be honest. Pretty typical.

If people who blog about how good Omega 3 is,

And how Omega 6 is not good ....

....they would not eat such amounts of the stuff.

They would not eat much at all. (n-6)

So they must not really believe it!

Not a very popular opinion, eh?

Moving right along...

Any big plans for Thanksgiving?
