I'm old enough to remember when the cholesterol wars raged on TVs and in the media and people shied away from butter. But having seen other fads come and go, I largely ignored the controversy and continued using butter and whole milk for consumption and cooking. I've always lived by the maxim, Moderation in all things.
It seems to have worked OK. I'm alive today and still very active, do the gym 5 days a week, row 10 miles per week on a rowing machine, hike, and engage in all sorts of activities. But I have started losing friends and family to diseases like obesity, heart problems, and (most likely) COVID jabs... which I also refused to take.
I'm pretty sure that the people who know me think I'm a bit of an "odd duck" and a contrarian who doesn't buy into every new fad that comes down the pike. I lost a couple of acquaintances during the COVID hoax, but that's OK, I never valued their fake "friendship" to begin with and my life is actually better without them in it. To this day I cringe when I hear people speak of the "PANDEMIC!!", knowing it was a hoax. But why bother correcting them? It's pointless to argue with fools.
When cooking with butter, I like to use the very best that I can find, like Irish butter or, when I can find it, butter made by a local Amish community.
But have you priced real butter lately? ARGHHHH!!! Take about setting your hair on fire and pissing you off all day, just take a walk down the dairy and meat aisles of a grocery store and see just how much the deep state tries to keep us from purchasing real food. A pound of good butter should not be five bucks. It ought to be only a couple of bucks. And $20 per pound for a rib eye steak!!!!! To me that is darn near criminal. Yet, I try my best to keep man-made foods out of my body and supply it with what God has provided to us. Eggs, bacon, ham, ground beef, and no sugar. I'm feeling better. Once you get the crap out of your diet you begin to cure your ails.
So very true. I have lived by my own instincts for a very long time, but it was the COVID hoax that really heightened my awareness and when I took over my own health decisions. I do go to a doctor for annual checkups and blood-work, but I take anything he says with a grain of salt and a teaspoon of skepticism. I know that basically he's a pill pusher and works, not for me, but for some pharmaceutical company.
My doctor tried to push the jab on my husband and I and I flatly refused much to his dismal. he truly is a pill pusher. When he suggested I needed statins, I researched them and told him I wouldn't take them or cholesterol lowering drugs. he has resolved himself to the fact that I am there for a yearly check up some blood work and that is it and only because I had cancer 24 yrs ago.
Similar story here... throat cancer in 2013, due to exposure to radionuclides where I worked, got through that OK but have since taken charge of my own health and well-being. I figure if I keep rejecting my doctor's pills he will fire me and I'll go elsewhere for my checkups. At this point, I don't really care.
So very true. I have lived by my own instincts for a very long time...or is that still small voice ?

Hmmmm, you might be correct, yet i dont wanna pay $30 a year for the prison buying less expensive better quality butter. I'll take that $30 and just go to my local supermarket. Good idea though if you desire to shop at Costco or Sams
I watched one of those survival shows and this guy killed an animal and cut off all the fat to save it and secured the meat, and animals came and stole all the fat and left the meat. That told me all I needed to know about fat and have been enjoying it (in moderation) ever since.
When I cook bacon, my wife eats around the fat and discards it... I tend to eat the whole thing and sometimes even pick up what she's left and have that too. One of my favorite meats is beef brisket, and I like to saute it in butter, drop in chopped green onions, and two farm fresh eggs (I get them locally from a farmer friend), and top it with Havarti cheese. It's a rather rich breakfast, but I work out so much that any caloric overload is used up... and I stay a consistent 173 pounds on a 6-foot frame.
Several of my contemporaries ask me how I keep so trim, and I tell them about my gym workout activities and all the other things I do, and that's where I lose them... "Sounds like too much work," they often say. Well yeah... living a long healthy life is hard damned work.
I always eat the entire slice of bacon, it's too tasty not to! My dad would always eat around the fat and leave the fat. He was thin and wound up having a heart attack as soon as he retired. Not saying skipping the fat was the issue, just saying what's the point in being so careful lol.
Yeah that was the show! The guy was not fat to begin with and was losing weight - after a certain amount of loss they pull you out of the competition. He was really great at survival and wound up winning. It's a great show for learning survival tips! I only watched that one season but I'd love to go back and watch the rest.
One of my favorite shows. My family doesn’t understand why I like it so much, and it can be hard to explain. There’s a miniseries Alone Survival Skills where past contestants compete on a project you may like. Think it’s on Hulu.

Totally Agree
Costco is our answer

Also men need cholesterol to make testosterone. Which I think is another reason the DS went to war against it.
And women need cholesterol to produce all the hormones they need. Cholesterol is needed to produce all hormones.
All boils down to , they want us ALL DEAD.

I'm an old time fiddler and via this conversation, it reminded me of an old time tune called "Streak o' Lean, Streak o' Fat".....

Sacrilege! The fat's the best bit! I wish I had a wife who did this as that would be heaven lmao
I had no idea fat was that important until I started watching Alone.
Yeah that was the show! The guy was not fat to begin with and was losing weight - after a certain amount of loss they pull you out of the competition. He was really great at survival and wound up winning. It's a great show for learning survival tips! I only watched that one season but I'd love to go back and watch the rest.

Wool yeah...but that's one of the reasons we love you fren 😁
Thank you!
