Teasing the Tomme (#5)

[anutcanfly]

That's good to hear. I thought I was going to have to work a little harder at being a tease!   

I'm about ready to make another stinky.  What would be a good follow up to the last one?

My cave should have run out of room months ago... don't know where all goes!

My family and friends have gotten tired of free cheese - go figure? SOme doctor in town is telling everyone cheese is a heart attack on a plate so no one is eatting cheese these days.

Debi, that's so terribly inaccurate; how unfortunate. It is carbs and dietary imbalances that tend to cause heart disease. Fat actually helps to prevent it. Cheese from grass-fed cattle especially.

[MacGruff]

Debi - I would be most happy to take some of your cheeses off your hands!   

[Boofer]

Cheese from grass-fed cattle especially.

Hey, where else can you get your daily CLA and have it taste so good?

Debi, maybe if you charged them some trivial amount for the cheese, then they'd realize it had more value.

My brother and brother in law have both had heart by passes and their doctors say you should not eat a piece of cheese bigger than a dice cube so they quit eatting it. My guys at work will eat anything I feed them and ask for more but they prefer  meat with their cheese! I have requests  for sausages and meat products all the time which I get a good price for but cheese not so much.

Yeah I hear you about the wrong info but what does our Billion dollar food pryimid/plate say? Eat more carbs! Go figure!

Its still not definitive that saturated fat (as from cheese) causes artery problems , the accuall reason is still unknown.
It all depends on what drug companies are pushing out and what studyies they are financing.

I say eat moderatly what ever you love,excercise and dont smoke.
If that doesnt work ,you were likely born not to live to be a 100.

I read an interesting article about how modern western science only knows how to deal with disease , they dont know how to keep you healthy when your healthy.

It has been one of the most insidious lies of modernity, that the food pyramid in any way makes sense. In truth, the studies that started this entire line of very damaging thought started with Ancel Keys in the 1950s, who used poor science to push an agenda through. We were not designed by and large to eat carbs and grains. Out diets for thousands of years have consisted of a great deal of fat, meat, and veggies.

Its still not definitive that saturated fat (as from cheese) causes artery problems , the accuall reason is still unknown.

It actually is known, with a high enough correlation to diet (with a contribution of genetics). Basically, processed foods high in carbs, as well as high carb consumption seems to be a directly contributory cause, whereas consumption of high quality fat seems to reverse heart disease factors.

It helps to remember/remind that the people trying to tell us abundant carbs are good, are the same people that insisted that polyunsaturated fats were healthy.

check out  the book Nourishing Traditions." what the diet dictocrats don't want you to know"  by Sally Fallon..it gives the full scoop on all of this and is a really good read.. it is actually a cook book.
I have had to deal with this stuff as I have a son who is type 1 diabetes.... they try to tell me he should be eating non fat foods.....

Thanks, I'll look into the book.  I like to be aware of these things.  It's upsetting how often what we are told has little to due with what is healthy and more to due with what is profitable. 

[DeejayDebi]

That's a really good book. Lots of the olde ways in there I really like it.

I do believe genetics plays a huge role in heart problems but as long as doctors say don't eat cheese people will do as they say. Or try. In  the mean time my sausage and deli meats (which are about 25% to 30% fat) are irrisistable! 

[anutcanfly]

My Sweety doesn't eat meat, so I try not to when he is home, so needless to say I'm generally salivating when I look at all the sausages you make.  I consume a lot of eggs and cheese.  Also butter, I have a special taste bud tuned into butter, not polyunsaturated fat.  I find that I feel satisfied much faster/easier if there is a little butter included. My blood pressure is normally 100/60, or less.  My weight... not telling!  But it's bread and cake that really packs weight on me quick...I go on a maintenance diet every winter.    I'm a paraglider.  As such, I have to keep my weight in the range that my wing is designed for.

[DeejayDebi]

Always wanted to try that! Looks exciting!

You can likely arrange to go on a tandem flight, but you need to be warned... it's addictive and known to create serious changes in life style!    I went on a very brief tandem on a date, and immediately changed everything in my life to accommodate the need/passion.  You can bring up a topic of a sexual nature that will normally catch and hold peoples attention... but around paraglider pilots the topic will switch right back to flying in less than a minute!  We are all just that badly hooked.
