Just not the prime example I think @helensaramayOf course we all eat and cook with fat where appropriate and without it we wouldn't be able to work with fatty acids and things would go wrong.
Boiling onions?! As someone who enjoys them raw I can't stomach that concept.
Back to the fat in nuts
I enjoy raw onions too, love a few bits of raw onion with a piece of raw carrot,
We make our own coleslaw, and that's always got more carrot and onion in than store bought stuff. It's better because we can add spices if we want them - lots of options! It's gorgeous in sarnies with any other ingredients we want, and brilliant as a side at dinner.
I think vegans still eat fats just not animal fatFollowing on from a different discussion, where the idea of a vegan diet with no fats was mooted, I would like to know more about the role of fat in our everyday diet please.
Not so much from a heart health point of view, a there are many thread about that.
More from the stance of are fats vital for our bodies and what happens if we dont eat enough, or cut them out of our diet.
Brenda Davis, RD, a plant-based expert and coauthor of Becoming Vegan, says that researchers have clearly demonstrated that by reducing calories from fat to no more than 10% and dramatically reducing harmful fats, heart disease can be successfully treated (and in many cases reversed), and type 2 diabetes can be effectively treated.
I hope you've reported this person to the moderators.I got my very own stalker by suggesting that fats might be a good thing - someone who posted messages insulting my mental powers, ideas and intelligence etc - me - brain the size of a planet... well not exactly but you get my drift I am sure.
He seems to have backed off responding to my messages now - but he replies to posts straight after I do, so he's still on my trail and letting me know he is.
Although we are composed of basic atoms, there are some complicated molecules which we can't make just by sticking atoms together. Usually we have the ability to make them from simpler molecules, but we need to absorb them.
It is rather like reusing old bricks for a new building rather than starting off with clay and firewood.
Essential fatty acids are absorbed and joined up to make what we need and the rest is burned as fuel.
This is a topic I am particularly interested in at the moment, since my wife has gall stones and has been advised to eat minimal fat. Consequently I have figured the only way to cook passable roast potatoes is to cut each one into small pieces, boil them and then agitate them in a colander. Sprinkle them with black pepper, garlic salt and whatever herb you like and cook till crispy. Although they don't have the glorious effect of potatoes roasted in goose fat, they are still good, especially if you use a good quality spud in the first place. I cook large mushrooms upside down in the oven. I realise this is all absurd to anybody on a LCHF diet, but it has kept my wife away from pain (and inflicted pain) for 15 months! I have to analyse every single item that we eat -a sort of role reversal from when I was Type 1. My only concern has ironically been whether I am getting enough fat myself. I deal with this in other ways!OK @db89 and @Robinredbreast perhaps mushrooms wasn't such a great idea.
What about roasting potatoes without fat?
I was going to ask about cooking onions and then remembered my MIL boils these ... and loses all the flavour.
And then there's the good ole avocado which is high in fat.
I'll go back under my rock, stop arguing and try to do some work for the next hour or so
That happened to me.It also seems like gallbladder health requires fat - it triggers the gallbladder to contract and expel bile - without contractions the gall will become thick and sludgy and eventually stones develop. Then all sorts of bad things can happen leading to gallbladder removal.
It was not on this forum, but yes, the insults got so bad that I reported the worst one of them, but I think there were several posts removed - it was quite a strange experience though.I hope you've reported this person to the moderators.

I wonder where some people get the idea that Vegans do not eat any type of fat at allI don't know how people manage to eat well without fats. What do they spread on their fresh crusty bread rolls - I love them still warm from the oven liberally spread. Or cheese, and vegennaise? Dry sarnies?? Yuk. No delicious desserts?
Nope. Aside from needing the fats medically, they're a must in making food a sensory pleasure. And I think it ought to be a pleasure
