We all heard the saying: Ignorance is bliss.
Of course, ignorance isn’t something we typically desire. It is human nature to constantly seek knowledge, to relish in new information and deeper knowledge. That’s why we study. That’s why we read the news. That’s why we love to gossip. But when that knowledge is skewed and tinted, it just becomes toxic to our minds. And thus it’s up to us to distinguish what is truth.
Unfortunately, the word “truth” is a very ambiguous term. I mean, truth is defined as "an obvious or accepted fact”, but fact is also defined as “a truth known by actual experience or observation.” Eh?(No, seriously. I copy and pasted from dictionary.com)
Ultimately, I think that truth is a subjective view on the reality around us that is portrayed heavily by our mind. Our mind is a very powerful thing. It is also an extremely complex organism, one that is made up of so many different things: beliefs, culture, upbringing, background, experiences, relationships, you name it. So, how do we even trust our mind to figure out the truth, when it’s so subjective to outside influences?
Truth can touch upon so many issues and topics, so let’s focus on just one subject: food.
Scientists and doctors have been analyzing food and nutrition for a very long time. They’ve poked and prodded and experimented and calculated and taken notes after notes on food, trying to determine which food is good and why it’s good and how it works on the human body.
And I wonder what kind of contribution that has made. We’ve certainly amassed a shitload of knowledge. We’ve been told that whole grain is good, refined sugar is bad, omega-3 fats are great, trans fat is horrible, we need xx% of protein in our diet, and have a mega-long list of vitamins and nutrients we need to ingest each day, along with daily percentage recommendations.
The result? We’ve gotten a whole lot more stressed out, anxiously trying to meet all the doctor’s advices…yet we’re not exactly healthier, are we? Disease rates like cancer are increasing, and so are the rates of mental illnesses like depression and eating disorders. So what went wrong?
Simple. We just know too much, yet we know too little. The knowledge we gained have only given us more paranoia and misconceptions. It is human tendency to take things to the extreme, and to divide things into “good” and “bad” categories. We think fiber is good, so we bulk up on them. We think protein is good, so we gorge on them. We love the idea of a “perfect” food, so random “superfoods” like goji berries go in and out of fashion.
In truth (no pun intended), we’ve gained only enough knowledge to realize that we actually cannot ever understand every fine detail of the miraculous human body, and all the intricate powers and life in food. A slice of whole grain bread isn’t just about the fiber, the complex vitamin B’s, or the plant protein. There is just so much more going into that simple piece of bread that nourishes our body than just the few factors that we discovered through science, like our saliva which digests it, our emotions when we’re eating it, the type of soil the grain was planted in, etc.
Of course, some basic knowledge about food and nutrition is important, especially in this age where we are surrounded by tons of items packaged as “food” which really are just human-made chemical products. But it’s all too easy to take this knowledge to the extreme, and take it to the negative direction, because as much as we know, we’ll never be able to get the whole picture of it.
I should know. I used to be a walking encyclopedia of nutrition. I could name the positive and negative effects of most foods, and I had memorized the calorie content of every grain and fruit. But in reality, I never knew the whole truth, and the bits and bites I knew about nutrition set me off into the negative direction. And of course, my own eating disorder played a lot into how I read all these “truths”.
For example, there was a time when I read up about how cow’s milk is not fit for human digestion. In interest, I read up even more deeply into the subject, and received so many plausible and convincing information about the horrible effects of cow’s milk that I rejected any kind of dairy for a very long time. I even did a presentation in class about it.
The thing is, once such information enters your mind, it’s very hard to eradicate it. It’s like a poison that first infects your thoughts, and then transfers to your very actions, behaviors and habits. A simple misinformation turned into something much more serious: a paranoia, which in turned affected my physical health.
My conclusion? We humans are dumb. It’s dangerous to know too much and to absorb everything as the absolute truth, because we can never be able to understand and view the whole picture. There are more to facts than the things we can see and touch and hear. Sometimes, we just have to concede that we are ignorant, to see “truths” with a grain of salt, and to trust things unto God whose wisdom is infinitely grander than ours.
Anyway, thank god my “Milk is the Devil!” phase is gone. Ever since I’ve discovered the wonderful, delicious goodness of cheese, I’ve completely changed my perception on milk. And trust me, I’ve eaten loads and loads of cheese. And I’m still alive. In fact, I’m much, much, much healthier than my “no dairy, no refined flour, no this and that” days. So much for those “truths” about the dangers of milk consumption.
Biz is one smart blogger who shares my affinity for cheese. In fact, she is hosting this week’s BSI (Bloggers Secret Ingredient), and she chose cheddar cheese as the secret ingredient. Ah, I love that lady!
I decided to stay relatively tame with my recipe this time. No rude fish staring you down, I swear. In fact, my recipe submission would be a take on the classic comfort food, scrambled eggs. Except in my case, it is more like scrambled cheese with eggs. Hey, you gotta let the cheese shine. 
Scrambled CHEESE with eggs
Beat together the eggs, cottage cheese, and 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese. Set aside. In a frying pan, heat up the oil or butter, and then toss in the garlic, onions, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until soft and fragrant, scrape them into a plate and set aside. Next, in the same pan, turn the heat down to low, and then pour in the egg-cheese mixture. Stir the mixture while it cooks: All things said, I’m very interested to see what you guys have to say about all that flood of nutritional information we are receiving. I’d like to think that I’ve made my opinion clear, but actually, there is more that I wanted to say which I left out because of space issues. Question of the day: So help me fill the gaps in! Do you agree? Disagree? Think I’m full of bullshit? Let me know (No, really. Just don’t be too nasty about it).
Continue stirring and stirring until it is all cooked through, then mix in the stir-fried vegetables, and the remainder of the cheese. Serve with your choice of starch for a well-rounded comfort meal. 
Okay. I sprinkled a tiny bit more cheddar cheese on top. I couldn’t help myself. It was just begging for it. 
This recipe is so simple, and so versatile. I make this when I come back home from classes at 2 pm, starving. 
It doesn’t require any thought, and you can use up all sorts of leftovers in the fridge. Instead of the onions and mushrooms, I have also used bean sprouts, chickpeas, kidney beans, and zucchini.
The cottage cheese in there makes for an ultra-light scrambled egg. It’s so fluffy, and the texture is impossible to mess up, unlike the regular scrambled egg. 
And don’t forget your carbs! I used pita bread for mine, but really, anything goes.

I agree – there is always a lot of conflicting information given about foods and our health. They’re always correcting old studies w/ “new” information that says the exact opposite!
Personally, I try to just eat like I was born in the 1800′s. I buy fruits and vegetables in their natural form and grains like quinoa, rice, pasta, etc. Also, Johnny’s whey allergy helps a lot in this situation b/c I can’t even cheat and buy things like Rice a Roni or Hamburger Helper. I also try to eat w/ the plate rule of half veggies, 1/4 starch and 1/4 meat. Basically just avoiding all processed foods and starting everything in its natural state. Sure sometimes it’s more expensive and takes a lot more time, but it’s what I’m used to so I don’t really even notice.
Onto your eggs and cheese! Yum! I’ve never tried eggs w/ cottage cheese in them, but it does look fluffy and light.
Great post! Personally sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a know-it-all about nutrition and all that jazz because I was perfectly healthy prior to that and just ate whatever I craved. Some days I craved lots of fruit so I ate that, sometimes I felt like a rosemary chicken potato pizza so I had that, etc. There were no guidelines- I couldn’t tell you anything about how protein metabolises or how many calories are in a slice of bread.
I agree a lot with what you said. While there is a lot of scientific basis to food/nutrition- there is also a lot of trendiness and marketing ploys put in place- look at all the fad superfoods we’ve had (like you said)- acai, goji berries, green tea, and now chia seeds! All this knowledge interferes with how we choose to nourish ourselves, and since it comes from so many different, varying sources- a lot of our information is probably incorrect and therefore can end up being detrimental to our health.
That whole cows milk thing- if you’re talking about Skinny Bitch, that freaked me out at first too- then I was like, this is PROPAGANDA- why the hell am I going to listen to two insecurity-exploiters in search of making the Bestseller list when all my doctors recommend dairy consumption for calcium, and when all my ancestors have been consuming dairy for centuries?
and life without yoghurt/cheese/ice cream? Helllllllllllllll no!
Liking your eggs recipe- and LIKE that you’re emphasising the carbohydrate inclusion. It truly pisses me off how people so often claim that they’re so ‘healthy’ and all- and even some blogs I’ve seen- but carbs are FREQUENTLY left out! Hellloooooooo, now its a proven fact that we need ENOUGH carbs to function!
Sorry for rambling! Got a lot to say as you can tell
hmmm. eggs with cottage cheese?! sounds intriguing.
hahaha. hmm. dic sharing was meant to be document sharing. =D
he was basically asking for a peer editor…but only came across as FUNKY with the dic sharing. =D
Obviously, Sophia my dear, I think you’re a load of crap.
JUST KIDDING.
(SRY, your teaser at the end of the questions blurb was just too tempting…)
But no, seriously. Ahem. As someone whose name LITERALLY MEANS TRUTH in Greek, as defined by the Book of all books – which contains words of the Life of all life – I feel like I should pipe up.
Without being pushy, I know the definition of my name. And I know, therefore, that real truth ISN’T akin to some wavering mumbo-jumbo like nutritional analyses… Truth is a Person. A Person in whom all things came into being because He willed it so. A Person who chose to share with anyone and everyone willing to believe into Him His life and nature because it was according to His good pleasure.
AND I love this:
John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
36 If therefore the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed.
The real Truth FREES us!! Mind-blowing.
So I think the real bottom line for all the discrepancies and worries about discerning the truth with regards to nutrition, to health, to all these outward things is just as one notable statistician once put it: We’re drowning in a sea of data, and thirsting for information.
I love how you call this “cheese with eggs.” My husband always jokes that when I’m eating pasta or a hearty veggie soup, that I have just as much cheese in my bowl as anything else. Hey, it’s good stuff, and I can’t resist.
You’re full of it, duh!
Haha, no, you hit the nail on the head. I’m slowly losing my OCDness when it comes to nutrition…no small part because of you.
I think a lot of the knowledge we have is good, because it will eventually trickle down. You forget–so many people are completely and utterly ignorant of nutrition, to a point that it’s bad for their health. Like those who refuse to eat nuts because they are high in fat–they don’t realize it’s good fat.
I do think knowledge is power…but I mean that in every sense. It’s POWER. You have to be able make use of it or it’ll just screw you up…it’s like handing an AK7 to a guy whose only fired a pistol. And why do you need an AK7 at your hip all the time if you aren’t in the army? I think it’s good to know about nutrition–and I find it a very interesting topic on its own–but there is a definite limit to its usefulness. Salmon is good because it has Omega 3s. Omega 3s are healthy fats that help your heart. There. Bam. If you’re not a dietitian or scientist or have serious related health problems, you don’t need to know about each kind of essential fatty acid or the proper Omega 3/Omega 6 balance.
I’m not saying you should not pursue knowledge if you like…but words, whatever their form, are powerful. I do not wish that I knew -less- than I do now, but I will agree wholly that I have no need for a lot of the info I know and it has weighed too heavily on my mind. But as I’ve said, it’s slowly lightening.
Sophia, I couldn’t agree with you more!!! I heartily support everything you wrote! When I suffered with ED/DE, I also knew the calorie count of everything and count spout off nutrition facts ad naseum. But ironically, I didn’ t know anything about HEALTH, both mental and physical. Yes, the nutrients are good, and I still try to eat nutrient dense foods, but food also nourishes our souls and spirits. Sometimes eating a bowl of chocolate ice cream is the best thing you can do for your body. I have found, of course, that I feel better on more quality food, but I also consume my fair share of social food and I don’t seem to gain weight from it!
My general opinion is that less processed is better, and that anything God made is EXCELLENT in its natural state.
That dish looks soooooo good, want it right now! Could you come over?;)
I really agree with you. More knowledge had two results. Knowing more and knowing less…because of all the conflicting rresearch findings… I think the solution is to ‘just’ listen to your bodys needs and cravings. Nothing more, nothinng less:)
Have a great weekend girl, your commens always mean the world to me!
xxx Julia (Taste of Living)
I love your interpretation of truth. I agree.. humans are dumb! We do neglect to look at the whole picture. I like your observations here. Very, very true.
The scramble looks great! Keep creating, you never disappoint!
Sophia, I totally agree. We now have too much information and in my case, the more info I accumulated, the further I got away from “the truth” – the truth who is Jesus, the truth that truly has the power to save. I guess I am learning to keep everything in perspective and not to let myself be taken away by all the “truths” that the world offers.
And regarding your comment on my post, please please, do make me your pumpkin soup. I’m already craving for it. Hehe…
Oh Sophia, I love you for writing this post!!
There is way too much information out there, all conflicting! And it just makes us dumber! Then every once in a while a semi-smart person comes out with a book about going back to the basics. We humans have made things so complicated that we just don’t know what to do anymore. Its all about keeping it real!
Have a great weekend
OHHH Sophia, I couldn’t agree with you more! Especially as an RD, I sometimes get so frustrated because I can’t answer everyone’s question. I just had this conversation with m dad the other day. I sometimes learn more things from what people tell me THEY have heard, than I am actually teaching them! I feel like there is SO MUCH information out there (mostly false info) that it causes me stress just thinking about all of the stuff I need to stay on top of. I always feel if I don’t know the information, I can’t teach it to people, and I can’t eat healthy! But that was the old me. The new me realizes that there is absolutely NO WAY that I can know everything about nutrition, and what really matters is that I know enough to make myself happy and healthy, and to teach people what they need to know. Sometimes I get ridiculed for not giving enough detail in my nutrition “answer” or explanation, but I think it’s good to be basic. If I give too much information I will loose people and they will give up out of frustration! The bottom line is, we know what is good, we know what is not so good, so if we just listen to our body, eat when we are hungry, don’t eat when we’re not, and eat those “not so good” foods in moderation, we’ll be just fine and dandy! Who needs gram and percentage recommendations anyway, unless MAYBE you are training for a marathon or trying to heal from a burn?!
Great post
There’s definitely way too much conflicting information out there. I went without cheese for many years of my life because I thought that fat was bad. I guess it’s important not to pay attention to what particular thing is bad for you at any given moment since that seems to change yearly. I think it’s more important to pay attention to what is good for you. Like I don’t think suddenly people are going to say that vegetables are not full of vitamins anymore, that they are bad. But things that are sometimes labeled as bad are often flipped to being good (fat, eggs, carbs etc) at some point. It is very confusing.
I couldn’t agree with you more! First, I freakin’ love cheese. I eat everything. My entire family has always eaten everything, lived well into their 90s, and lived happy, healthy lives. It is just like everything else – EVERYTHING is fine in moderation.
You are right on target with this one. The more I learn about food and nutrition the more confused I get. There’s just so much information out there right now and conflicting I don’t know who or what to believe any more. Fad diets, fad superfoods…I’m going crazy here!
Mmm cottage cheese in an omelette! I like it. I’m one of those people that loves cottage cheese so it’s so up my alley! My husband’s family has all sorts of theories on what is good for you with food and I think they’re quite conflicted and confusing so I don’t really listen anymore!
AMEN to this! I just finished reading Michael Pollen’s In Defense of Food a few days ago- if you haven’t already read it, I’d highly recommend it! Like many of the other commenters say, I used to confuse calories and health, so my diet consisted of mostly processed foods that were uber-low in calories (low-carb bread, diet soda, Light ‘n’ Fit yogurt, Lean Cuisines). But once I did my research, I was amazed at how much good, clean, pure, FOOD you can eat and still be healthy! I probably eat twice as much as I did a few years ago, its just the good stuff, not crap. Great post!
Oh Sophia, just one thing! Those eggs need ketchup!!
There is this funny new age book called “Ask and it is Given,” and my therapist had me do an exercise in it, which was…interesting. But they talk about how we define our truths based on our experiences and current perceptions. Often something we feel is “true” comes from the experiences of people around us. It’s up to us as individuals to build our own truths using the power of positivity, according to the book. It is a little mind bending to think of truth as such a fluid concept when we are brought up to believe that there is only true or false (again OTHERS’ perception).
So anyway, yes, I agree with what you are saying. Everyone has different “truths” when it comes to food and what will work with their bodies. No one needs exactly x number of carbs/fat/protein a day. Some people tolerate milk or soy differently than others, and some people are weird crazy food bloggers who care way more about it than anyone else–that’s me! Love ya! xoxo
Girl if you had a wok, I could only imagine what goodness you could make. I will look up the dish you left on my blog when I am not in so much of a raging hurry to get to the post office before it closes. you are just too darn cute!
wow – this is a really really good post. The whole thing u talk about about the “truth” and in the end …we all just get so stressed…we are “dumb”…
i like this.
Love this post! I never know what to believe. I feel like every day there’s a new study out conflicting with a past one on what’s healthy and what’s not.
Ah, CHEEZY eggs – nothing better! And great idea of adding cottage cheese – I have never done that before!
Have a kick ass weekend Sophia!
I totally agree with you! That’s why I love my major (psych). Yes, it’s a science, so we’re always trying to find information to support our theories and hypotheses, but at the end of the day, theory does not equal fact! There are things that support a claim and things that don’t support a claim and that’s really all we can say. Am I making sense or just rambling like a science freak haha? Bottom line: I’m with you on this girl!
Also, have you read Michael Pollen’s “In Defense of Food”? He kind of talk about the same thing. He says we live from health study to health study…”carbs are bad” to “carbs are good”. And all of those studies have so much conflicting evidence that we should just ignore them all and eat “real food”!
You’ve hit the point exactly! Count me among those who absorbed so much information that it nearly me paralyzed me. In fact, my blog name “Tangled Noodle” was inspired by the fact that I felt so confused about the conflicting arguments about food and nutrition. For a time, I lost all joy in eating – it was always about how many calories was I consuming. I’m learning to pick through the morass and form my own opinions and strategies for healthy eating – so far so good! Thank you for yet another wonderfully thought-provoking post (and cheesy scrambled eggs)!
beautiful scrambled eggs… i totally agree with your sentiments! Humans are generally pretty dumb and will believe anything “research” tells them!
I don’t think it’s always so much the information as how it is presented to the public. With stupid headlines blasting us every day with ways to lose weight, look better, live longer, etc, all due to whatever the Superfood of the Day is, of course it’s overwhelming, distracting, and unhealthy. I don’t think that means nutritional research is bad. Just because you and I don’t need to know anything about the amino acids found in corn doesn’t mean that it is not benefiting research and development (both medical and otherwise) in other ways. I think that the “ignorance is bliss” argument can apply in some cases, such as not counting calories, but it would be misguided to extend it to large realms of life and/or society.
There are too many conflicting reports about what we should or should not eat. I get tired of reading about it and thinking about it sometimes. I just do the best I can now and stop obsessing about it. So I end up eating scrambled eggs. Seriously, sometimes I eat them twice a day! No thinking involved…it is great!
Did I hear you say Cottage Cheese? WOW, I love you! I love Cottage Cheese!
Ugh, that “anti-dairy” thing completely happened to me. Not “for the animals,” but because I read how horrible it was for you, etc. I took it like it was God’s truth, and nobody had shone it to me, damn it! Maybe it’s true, but maybe it’s not. I drank skim milk like 3 times a day until I was 17 and was perfectly healthy, and then I stopped consuming dairy for awhile. When you reintroduced dairy into your diet, did you find it upset your stomach or was hard to digest or anything? I really, really, really love cottage cheese (among other dairy), but I feel like I get stomachaches from it now
I often wish I had never “gotten curious” about any of the extreme nutrition stuff.
Mmm at least I’ve had no problem with reintroducing eggs…
P.S. I’m glad you eat oats every day too
I’m not even a huge fan of cheese but that dish looks AMAZING! It’s been way too long since I’ve had scrambled eggs with cheese for that matter and I think that needs to change!
About your “truth,” I definitely believe that sometimes ignorance is bliss. I miss the days when I didn’t know the calorie count and nutritional information for every food. I lived a much freer and happier life for the most part. It’s funny how I wish I could just UNlearn all that info and go back to being “just me.” Oh well.
Keep making delicious concoctions and meals!

Great post, you are right, we think too much and over analyze it way too much.
My grangrandmother lived until she was 106 years old, and she was extremely healthy little lady.
She had no idea about nutrition all she new was pick the produce from her back yard and cook it.
No sophistication or machines that time, just love and a brick oven. I wish we could have their wisdom. Your scrambled eggs looks divine.
Hi!
Oh Sophia, Sophia…full of wisdom and intellingence. Is there one time when I didn’t share your point of view?
I agree with EVERYTHIG. Especially if we use the ‘high-school girl gossip’ example. Sometimes, it’s better not to know what this girl said about us.
xo
Vanilla
Right on, Sophia! As you said, I think that it’s really tempting to try to see nutrition in terms of magic bullets, when in fact the interactions between our bodies and what we eat are infinitely complex and varied. It’s not necessarily that a certain vitamin will lead to health – it depends on where the vitamin is coming from, how it’s digested, and how it interacts with myriad other nutrients.
In my misspent youth, I spent a lot of time thinking about food strictly in terms of calories, which led to a lot of unhealthy behaviors. Now that I focus on eating a variety of whole foods, I feel so much better in so many ways. Unfortunately I can’t eat cheese, though – I’m lactose intolerant. Too bad since it’s so delicious!
Thank you for this thoughtful and provocative post!
i used to be so lost and confused when it came to food, always trying the next diet etc. now i just do my best not to eat too much crap, and i leave it at that!
great looking eggs, and cheese! that’s my kind of meal!
Those eggs look awesome, I would have never thought to put cottage cheese in eggs!
As always.. you are totally brilliant (…with maybe just a bit too much time on your hands
hehe.. new recipe AND time to ponder?)
I totally agree – knowing too damn much about nutritional information lead me to the worst state of health imaginable. Ironic eh?
xox
Tat
i agree with your food philosophy, i think the more we scrutinize/analyze our diets the more stressed out and unhealthy we become! this is where the thinking like intuitive eating or even michael pollan’s approach of “eat food, not too much, mostly plants” comes in, if we still need to cling to some defined approach to eating. I wish we could shake off all the years of societal obsessing over nutrition, but by the looks of the shelves upon shelves of dieting/health books at the bookstore i don’t think this form of ignorance/truth is likely to happen anytime soon. aw sophia i always love your sequences of food shots!! pretty
I agree with you on this – Americans are pounded with partial truths about food of all kinds. From the ‘Got Milk?’ campaign to organic soda, we are told what we should eat, how much of it, and what it will do for us, but we don’t know WHY or HOW what we eat impacts our body. When I stopped eating dairy, I felt so much cleaner and less bloated. There are a lot of reasons that eating this way caused me to feel like this, but what I knew was that I liked it more than Cabot sharp cheddar. But that doesn’t mean that it should be the same for everyone, because everyone’s body is different and handles things differently.
I agree w/ you completely. All the information thrown at us is completely processed and oftentimes altered. It’s just as bad as the food!!!
I agree 100% When we restrict a whole food group, we’re missing out on a whole group of nutrients as well. Moderation is key!
i agree that we know so little about food and our body and it’s insane to NOT to or TO do something because others say to do so. I learned to listen more to my body and I feel much better this way than following some rules.
I agree! I’m definitely guilty of thinking I’m much smarter than my body is at knowing what will best fuel me. I’ve made restrictions many times before and tried hard to control everything, but that did me no good! Listening to what our bodies want rather than what we think it should want is the answer… most definitely!
Your cheesy eggs looks great!!
“My conclusion? We humans are dumb. It’s dangerous to know too much and to absorb everything as the absolute truth, because we can never be able to understand and view the whole picture.

Amen, Sophia!! I couldn’t agree more … I feel like the more I “know” the more dumb I really am!
i think we are dumb and we NEED God because He knows whats best for us, and WE do not!
I agree with everything you said!!
LOVE your meal! cottage cheese in eggs?!? can you taste it?!
So, so true… Like coffee for example. I wish they’d just decide whether it’s good or not and deal with it!! Although I think we need to draw the line somewhere, and have our little vices. I like coffee, and I don’t know that I’d stop drinking it if they found something wrong with it!
The good thing about those studies though is that sometimes they can make you think of a food differently!
It doesn’t get much better than cheddar cheese with scrambled eggs (which is perhaps why I am eating mine, having prepared it before even reading your post) right now. Ahh goodness! Gotta love cheese
i love cheese and eggs! it is so comforting and the best meal dinner lunch and brekfast! as for the truth…there is SO much conflicting info out there. I will eat one thing because it is the newest ‘superfood’ then the next day I will read an article about how that food is not good in large doses or it only has its effects in a certain way. I miss the days of just eating and not worrying about what people were putting in my mouth! i know it sounds silly, but we think way too much about some foods these days! i will NEVER give up foods that I love!
Yay! Your scrambled cheese with eggs! I remember you tweeting about this a long time ago… My mom just recently introduced me to cottage cheese in scrambled eggs. SO good!
For a culture who is completely obsessed by what we eat, we don’t care about it very much!
Remember the margarine craze? 
Very good post! It’s so true that we have so many conflicting reports these days, things change from day to say. It’s hard to tell what’s what. Who knows how nutrition will be in the next year, the next 5…etc…
