Obviously, no butter and no salt.
Are you saying that this thread has run it's course?
Or, perhaps, that optional viewpoints are not tolerated?
Many folks believe that moderation is the best way to go vs. rigid avoidance.
Believe me, I do understand the dietary preferences of the younger crowd these days and when preparing for a large family reunion, make sure to have all the fruits and veggies and non meat dishes I can think of.........the number of those who partake of this vegatarianism has grown.........but then, I also prepare good old comfort foods for those who just enjoy life and enjoy a special treat...........and who look forward to the typical holiday fare from the good old days.
So, bring on the popcorn. Another friend of ours died at age 50 of a massive heart attack....while sitting in his reclining chair. He had survived one before but his wife insisted he walk around the high school track every day.............they came home to find him deceased.
Same lady who brought a slice of "low fat cheese" to go on his "low fat hot dog" which she brought in her purse. We all know those low fat foods aren't necessarily what they appear to be...........poor guy died anyway. He could have enjoyed one last grilled hot dog, the regular way.
We went to the funeral a few days later. So, moral of story, substituting low fat food when one already has heart disease, doesn't always work. I know. You will say her choice in food was bad; I agree.
But it was a big deal to them at the time.
One happy thought..........the young children of today DO INDEED KNOW HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY FOOD SELECTIONS.......we see it in our grandchildren.
