What? I think you're not talking about the OP Hillary anymore.
hillary's a vet, so there's imo, a very good chance she understands
about adding good quality fats to a diet.

No. I'm not. I was giving examples of someone I know. The thread drifted.
Sorry to confuse you.

Excuse me, but *I* was the one who asked for calorically dense foods. I
was *not* the one who was not into putting oil and fat in the food. I'm
all over oil and fat.


Right, I know. Sorry if it came across that i was on your case. I'm
saying the comment that you **weren't** into it was a bizarre one.

I never said Hillary wasn't into it. I said a mom I know has a child who
only ate veggies wasn't into it.

Right, ok, went back and re-read. Definate drift, too liberal a use of
pronouns, I guess.

I'm still voting french fries off the island in favor of less
questionable fats and oils used in more nutritionally sound ways.

Mc Donalds fries-bad
potatoes cut up, tossed in oil and baked- good

"Dawn Lawson" wrote

There're good fats and bad ones. French fries are further over to the
"bad" side of that balance.

I think its a matter of defining French Fries.
A potato cut up and fried, or coated in olive oil and baked till crispy, is
the equivalent of a baked potato with butter

Baked fries are the best, IMO. I just like how they turn out.

Which was where I stepped in to this bizarre off-shoot of a perfectly
good thread. typical french fries bad, sliced oiled baked spuds good.

If they're both in oil, why does the method of cooking make a difference?
Not a challenge, just curious. I always hear that baking is better, but I
assumed it was because less oil is used. Is that correct? If the kid needs
more fat, isn't frying okay?

Yes, of course, that's why I feed her all the fat.

Well, I think she was choosing to fill up on milk at the expense of more
calorically dense food. I mean, if you have a boob in your mouth most of
the day, and you're actually drinking milk from it, you won't eat as much
food as you otherwise would! Breastmilk only has about 20 cal per oz.
Peanut butter, on the other hand, has about 200 cal per oz; cheddar cheese
something like 120 cal/oz...you get the picture. We'll see if my guess was
right. She DOES seem to be eating a lot more than I had expected.
