Hi Tabitha. Why does junk food have to taste so good? Lipids taste yummy! Once in while those drive-thru meals are fun, but I guess we just can't make a steady diet of them! The trouble is, eating healthfully has become such a problem. Every day we hear such bad news about traditionally healthy foods. I had been substituting a lot of chicken and fish for beef. I was avoiding beef because of both the high fat content and fears of mad cow disease. Well, now we are inundated with news about "bird flu" possibly infecting chickens. I'm so sick of the news! Potatoes are looking better and better -- and safer!
