Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: Bad fats in turkey and chicken
It's the reason we raise our food
No messing around with nature! Granted the food costs more - but if you can find the farms to help supply you it's well worth it 
BTW - chick - we are having leg of goat tonight - awesome food!! We were scared to try it but now it's one of our favorites to the point my husband is agreeing to let me add a few to the farm this year on top of my kids 4-H project ones!!!Comment

Re: Bad fats in turkey and chicken
I'd love to raise all my own....we do have the space.....but I am a big WIMP when it comes to salughtering, and there is no one who does poultry processing in these parts. We raised our own pork a couple of years ago and the flavor difference was AMAZING.
The fatty acid analysis done by the Iowa University on grass fed versus "factory farm" fed is astounding. No wonder the food tastes better!Comment

Re: Bad fats in turkey and chicken
The sad thing is that even what are described as 'whole natural foods' are not natural anymore. They are genetically modified, growth promoted, fertilized, irradiated, surface treated and who know what else.
Of course we are told that all of these things have been well researched and are perfectly safe and in no way harmful, by the very same people who for years have been telling us that it is a well researched fact that to lose weight you must eat low fat and have lots of starchy carbs, and that sugar is fine really, just, you know, be a bit moderate.
That would fill you full of confidence that they are right this time round too, wouldn't it????
