Eat Butter

[Andy12345]

how many other things we believe to be healthy are not i wonder, butter for instance lol, who's to say in 50 years they won't discover that our great great grandchildren's forehead bumps are due to the increase in butter consumption or that lettuce that was believed to be good for so many years isn't in fact shortening our lives for a reason we cannot yet test

As to hard butter, I have recently found the perfect place to keep it - in the cupboard next to my integrated freezer. That cupboard is always a bit warm and keeps butter perfectly spreadable. My husband also proves his bread in there - not that I eat it any more (sigh ).

I took a pack of butter to 2 recent dog sitting jobs... At home I have a butter dish and my old dogs never took food off the worktops ( getting a fridge open n eating meat-yes). So I left my butter on the back of the worktops... Needless to say, the dogs took it and have very nice glossy coats!

Wasn't there a Woody Allen film along the same lines?When he went into the future and everything that was perceived to be bad for you was good and the reverse!,

My two dogs are loving my LCHF diet! Every time I go into the kitchen now they come galloping in to see if mum will give them the empty cream tub or butter paper to have a lick of, then sit with a "I'm so starved" look on their faces in the hope that I'll share a bit more of my fatty food with them. They fortunately are a bit too small to reach the worktop, and the little one on his hind legs is barely tall enough to see onto the kitchen table...

The reports about obesity in animals that live with humans is just as scary as what has happened to us! We all should be eating real foods - forget the food-like products. Even the poor animals that raid our bins are getting fat and diabetic.

now that you mention it. I have a pedigree patterdale terrier, and he suffered from fits. The vet gave him tablets! But a very dear elderly woman down the road suggested to just give him dog food of just meat! I stopped the drugs that weren't helping and guess what?
The fits stopped and the dog is a healthy 5 years old. No fat on him and when I went back to the vets, he said that my dog will suffer.
Well! The one thing that isn't suffering is my dog and the other is my bank balance!

By the way, I still hate butter!

My Goodness, are vets now getting into the realms of prescribing unnecessary pills and meds for animals, just as doctors have been doing for us humans for so long? Where will it end?

They are under as much pressure to promote certain brands of drugs just as GPs are!

But why? Why have we gone preventative crazy. Take this pill, "just in case". The NHS was set up to give medical help to the poorer people in society. Today, it is dominated by preventative pills and procedures which are turning us all into junkies and guinea pigs.

 

[Lamont D]

Why. Is a good question! The NHS is there to provide everyone with care when suffering or ill.
However when the system can't cope and the system allows queue jumping because people get prioritised because they can afford to pay, at the disadvantage of those who can'. Then the system cannot work better or efficiently. There are too many people in trusts and health companies, drug companies and private health care that take resources away from the frontline. Political agenda is the main culprit,
There is five tiers of health care.........the mega rich ( royalty etc.) the super rich, the rich, middle class (bupa etc) and the rest.
Until the system treats everyone the same then the health service can't work like it was initially designed!

The education system is exactly the same! The majority get the worst and the elite minority get the very best!

We feed the dog a raw food diet. The best we could find. He's only a year old, so you would expect him to still be sparking with health. But hopefully, he will stay that way instead of degenerating into the dull eyed, dull coated, stiff legged, stocky older dogs we see on walks.

There's a very simple test to know if your dog's food is good for it - does their **** smell?

Seriously.

His doesn't. It is a neat, firm, almost scentless pile.

Only dog food that's filled with cereals, processed meat derivatives (slurry), meat flavouring and preservatives, all cooked to destroy the nutritional benefit, makes stinky dog poo.

re NHS though this is a bit off topic.:
My father has the bottom rung of treatment ie ordinary NHS. In the last couple of years: 2 knee replacements, heart valve replacement , not a routine treatment in a man of 84 (NHS but done in the private wing of London hospital with ambulance to take him there and back) several lucentis injections each costing hundred pounds a vial. Not to mention the cost of all his medicines, regular blood tests etc.
I think he's got his moneys worth from them and certainly paid less than most countries in the world. He always praises the care he gets. If he were here in France he would have contributed to board and lodging costs in hospitals ,something towards the cost of some of his medications and 30% of the cost of some of his treatment. (unless he had extra insurance). If he was in the US he would probably be dead.

Re butter as I said eat it but I agree with Nigel about moderation and think that what David Katz said back in February is apposite.

I would argue we are not, and were not confused - we are, and were conflicted. We were, and are, active participants in a massive collusion at the level of our culture. We wanted to have our low-fat cake and eat it, too. In other words: we probably really knew all along that “low fat” advice really meant eat more mixed greens, but we WANTED it to mean: keep eating pastrami, and dilute the calories with low-fat cookies. And so we did. And here we are

and this more recent blog from him is even more to the point.

What an excellent quote, Phoenix. So true.
