This is so true. Growing up, I drank several glasses of whole milk every day. My dad cooked fried eggs and thick sliced bacon for breakfast almost every day. We fried everything from corn to okra to chicken to chicken fried steak. Then we topped it with butter. We put heavy cream in our Dr. Pepper because it made it taste like the leftover soda from a float. We ate dessert everyday after lunch and dinner.
And we were all thin and healthy because we were active, and everything we ate was fresh.
My Dad is in his 60's now. He still eats cheeseburgers all the time and drinks at least one large Dr. Pepper everyday, and he's healthy as an ox because he he has a very active lifestyle. I'm 35, have a desk job, eat fast food at least 3 times per week, and struggle to get to the gym on a regular basis. And I wonder why I'm 40 lbs overweight and my knees hurt. It ain't the butter and cream that's the problem.
