Erika, I feel like I’m always saying, “amen, sister!” to you . . . but it’s true. I think, though, that if people learn the role of fats and how important they are, that eventually, slowly, they’ll start to shift their paradigm. And we’ll keep working on it!

I tried to comment on this a few weeks ago, but was having browser problems… Anyway, I wonder how long it will take to get rid of the low-fat mentality. It’s become such a part of the food culture- I can’t go anywhere with a dish without someone asking if it’s low-fat. We’ve all been so inundated with the idea that everything should be low, reduced or non fat that I wonder how long it will take to eliminate the mindset.

The number one request I get from people is for more low-fat recipes. I hope the trend reverses itself very quickly.

I’m glad you enjoyed the puree! I’ve found it to be somewhat addictive.

Lia, I’m so glad the comments are back online; I have a lot to chat about! First, I was thrilled to read your post about “Eating Fat to Stay Slim.” Being a Registered Dietitian, I’m one of the few who advocates that exact approach. Last year, I posted the health virtues of eating fat. Check it out on my blog: http://www.voiceofreason.net/the_voice_of_reason/nutrition/. Most important, I made the onions and puree recipe you shared and, while it was a bit time consuming, it was worth every minute in the kitchen!

There are a lot of steps in this chile-nut paste, but trust me, it’s worth it!
