Healthy Fats for Children, The Best Omelet Trick, and Start a Backyard Revolution

It’s probably not surprising that the topics of my latest contributions around the web are saturated fat and growing food for freedom. 

The first of these articles is over at Simple Bites and covers children’s need for saturated fat. Here’s an excerpt from the full article:

When all you have heard for 30 years is “Fat is bad!” you tend to want to feed your children according to that philosophy.

But that doesn’t make any sense. Breast milk, the perfect food for baby, is at least half fat, much of which is saturated fat and even (gasp) cholesterol. I don’t believe that a child’s need for saturated fat and cholesterol ends when weaned.

And I am not alone…

Then you can find me over at the Plan to Eat blog sharing the trick for a fluffy delicious omelet. No surprises here – it involves butter! Oh, and if you haven’t been over to Plan to Eat lately you will find that they completely redesigned the whole site and it is just lovely. They are also cooking their way through Jamie’s Food Revolution after a 2 week break, and if you join them you can win a free one-year membership to their menu planning and recipe sharing website.

Finally, at Keeper of the Home I share my thoughts on growing and preserving food for sustainability in Plan & Plant Now for Sustainability, Freedom, and a Backyard Revolution. In that post I cover:

• Why Producing Your Own Food Matters
• Why It Doesn’t Have To Be All or Nothing
• Three Sustainable Methods for Food Preservation, and
• Why Now Is the Time to Start Your Revolution

I hope you will join me around the web and I thank you all sincerely for your comments on my last post.
