I definitely used to be all about the low-fat/non-fat foods, but that changed about a year ago when I moved to Florence, Italy for 4 months to study abroad. Not only was I eating most of my meals with a host family, but even when I ate on my own, it was very difficult to find low-fat products. Not surprising that everything I ate there tasted a million times better than at home!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513119579988423378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-8621998055882375472011-02-10T13:27:54.940-07:002011-02-10T13:27:54.940-07:00oh and butter? i love butter.oh and butter? i love butter.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367253838866005395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-75226268760601838852011-02-10T13:27:23.473-07:002011-02-10T13:27:23.473-07:00preach it girlfriend!!! i hate the way fat gets s...preach it girlfriend!!! i hate the way fat gets such a bad rap. i am ALL about whole fats... whole milk, whole yogurt, grass-fed, free range beef, fish oils, nuts, coconut oil, olive oil....<br /><br />i love this post. fat free doesn't mean healthy, amen!!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367253838866005395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-72142453886653100872011-02-10T11:37:11.890-07:002011-02-10T11:37:11.890-07:00so true!

My Spanish family would cook a huge (we're talking 3-4 course) absolutely wonderful lunch for us everyday at 2pm full of good (and bad) fats, then we'd eat a late dinner of tapas, and in 2 months I lost 10 pounds (we also walked everywhere).
