Spam pizza, is that really different to a “ham” pizza from a non gourmet shop?
Dot, you have never tried SPAM, have you?
BBQed spam is nice.
Three?
Fuck, they’re huge.
I hope they were steamed.
Umm… no.
And I would say the same to JC if he wrote such a silly comment.
I never said anything about a tiff, Lizzie. My comment was about feelings and the desirability of not giving a fying fluck.
So what?
Butter churns and pots and pans are not natural.
I would say it is added in manufacturing. I wouldn’t worry about it, I’d worry about older antioxidants like TBHQ.
Which is still used in a lot of Asian products, like Taiwanese chips (“Lonely God”, which are delicious).
John H probably knows but look up the Krebs cycle and interestification.
IMO you only need essential proteins and fatty acids, the interaction of various monounsaturated band polyunsaturated fatty acid chains in your body is quite complex. You can have an anti-nutritive effect without knowing.
If you are worried about fatty acid nutrition, consume dairy, milk fat has a very complex fatty acid profile.
Don’t start me on the irrational fear of trans fats or the outdated stuff about seed oil being evil.
If you have English mustard on lamb, you are eating seed oil AND a lot of trans fats.
Dairy, olive oil, meat, moderate seed oil and avoid less safe preservatives.
In other words, eat as your (great?) grandparents did before they got old.
My guilty vegetarian pleasures are dried mango, apple butter and banana chips cooked on sunflower oil and seasoned with pepper.
I am not dead yet. Good BP, pulse, blood sugar. If you bring a”SEED OIL IS A TOOL OF THE GLOBALISTS!” placard to an anti mandate rally, you are not a “King”, you’re an utter tool.
Yeah, I have once, it is horrendous.
I like bully beef though…
Cooked breakfasts are very civilised. Not sure about a full English after some of the slop you get in some of the caffs in the old country. Probably draw the line at steak and eggs which was known to happen after we knocked off a killer during my limited station days.
“Hormel” pre packaged TV dinners are an abomination.
I think my fear of trans fats is very rational.
Greeks are bloody awesome. Straight in, seat, no COVID liturgy.
Not those trans fats.
Dot, you have never tried SPAM, have you
Yeah, I have once, it is horrendous.
Spam sushi is an island favourite, great for hangovers to. Best purchased at a service station.

JWH you are a fraud. You don’t feel for anyone. Just are just going on again.
Arky has also mentioned here that his wife disliked him blogging. No disclosure there. And Cassie sent me a screen shot of Johanna’s lying; important that I mention that I have it, I think.
Otherwise, I have many had other personal conversations and my lips are absolutely sealed.
As for ‘Hyacinth’, that shows precisely where your opinions have always been, embedded in a very large piece of nonsense and fabrication about me here. I stand by the truth of every event and circumstance I have ever related here as part of a discouse on some matter or other. Years ago I altered the time-frame of it, precisely to turn doxxing obsessives like Johanna off the scent when being doxxed would have killed my husband’s career stone deawd. That is all. How dare you impugn my integrity and truth-telling: people who know me can vouch for it, which is more than can be said for some of the unknowns here who have far more ‘swiss cheese’ about them than I do.
I don’t expect to know everything about everyone on a blog, disclosures are up to individuals, and many do disclose, while others eschew doing so. No-one here knows everything about those who come here, but a certain level of integrity is required and I do have that.
Now I really have to get working on that submission, which will not write itself.
apologies for hurried comment, typos are obvious.
One further addition: If Hyacinth’s little gaggle of friends here actually cared for her state of mental health, then they would be counselling her to cease and desist with her ridiculous, childish behaviour. It has become more than tedious.
There is nothing preventing Hyacinth from starting her own blog where she can post her narcissistic tripe and rage against her so-called ‘haters’ till the cows come home.
I’m certain Dover would add the link.
Steak, egg and home made chips was my favourite dinner growing up. The chips were home made and deep fried rather than baked, of course. Frozen vegetables and TV meals were something you only saw on American TV shows.
JC, I know you love a nick-name, but I gotta ask.
Where the hell did “Driller” come from?

Thanks for the tucker blogging, btw. It is very up-cheering to see others engage in the very thing that I am a ‘rat with a Gold Tooth’ about. It was sausage that nite, if I remember correctly.

Dover, are you getting sponsored by the NDIS?
There is nothing “mere” about “Tucker blogging”, ‘elf Nazis get massive erections about controlling other people and shills see public money like cartoon wolves, dollar signs in both eyes.

Martyn Iles shares that there is a clear opposition to the knowledge of the truth.
Lol. It came from Driller himself.
There was a discussion on the old blog about the now ex-prince Andrew and where things were headed over the Epstein saga. Not suprisingly, the FNQ wronglogist made what is possibly the worst prediction ever posted on the Cat. He suggested that the Brits would overlook Ex-prince bonking barely legals and or underage gals and in fact applaud him.
The subject then moved onto the moral ethics of say a 50 year old man attempting to leg-over barely legal girls. Driller and Adonis both argued that if the gal is over the age of consent then it’s a green light. Driller suggested it was fine drilling them. Hence Driller since then. I think he doesn’t like it but I’m not sure. 🙂
I can only assume that the luvvies at TheirABC have their power bills paid as part of their employment contract. Otherwise, how could they publish this rubbish:
I don’t know where to begin about this pack of lies.
Firstly, while they claim that prices have fallen a few percent in the last three years (I don’t know if that is true) they neglect to mention that they rose up to 50% in the preceding years. It’s just like what they do to temperature data.
Secondly, while we are paying US17.6 cents, they neglect to mention that in red states in the US people are paying less than half of that. A ranking with such a wide range is deceptive unless you include the actual numbers, which they didn’t.
Thirdly, there is no mention of the cost of taxpayer and consumer subsidies to ruinables. As for the opportunity cost of expensive power being prioritised over cheap power in grid management, it is incalculable, so they don’t mention it.
Usually, the lies are annoying but of little consequence in the big picture. These lies are immensely important to the economic future of this country and its people.
Sloppy and dishonest, but good enough for those driving what they imagine is the ‘energy revolution’ with our money.
Biggles, you don’t like Arky because you insulted him & he requested a meet with you & I think his intention was to get you to apologise to him or he was going to tear your stupid head off your shoulders.

No.
Read upthread. The bint brought me into it. I retaliated – as is my right, as Hyacinth claims is her right over and over and over again. I’ve had a complete gutful of her. Just giving back, which is well deserved, that’s all.

Nearly breakfast time here.
Thought I might get a coffee and croissant at the station.
I’m off to Narbonne on the slow train.
I was going to go to Muceum yesterday, it looks a bit like the Melbourne museum so I was dubious. I wandered around Fort St Jean, why wasn’t the 13th century chapel open? You can go up top and cross a long footbridge over water to get to the new modern museum but the wind was mad and I’m a scaredycat (along the street outside the huge bins had toppled and blown along the footpath) so I thought I’d go round the long way at a lower elevation.
The deportation museum is tucked in at the base of the old fort so I went there as well, by the time I’d done it was too late for the other.
Only a couple of exhibits, some FFI memorabilia, the outfit someone wore home from Ravensbruck, the rest was photos of people and families and their little histories plus photos of the round ups and dynamiting of the quarter. There were little theatres where you could watch survivors tell their stories interposed with historical photos. I think they were all recorded around 2003.
Most of the French rounded up were sent back to Marseilles after being held at an old military camp in Frejus, around 600 were sent to Sachsenhausen, resistance members, prostitutes, homosexuals, vagabonds, those without papers. 100 returned.
The interviewees told of how barricades were erected around their suburb, being loaded into trams, then into cattle cars at the station, of fathers never seen again, of being dispossessed of their homes, of 12,000 French gendarmes who assisted in that dispossession.
But even worse was to come; Jewish men and women in late middle age who just looked so normal and nice and ordinary telling stories of unspeakable horror, about being packed so tightly into cattle cars they had to stand with their arms in the air and the only relief coming because people died, and so much more horror on horror, then coming home to French indifference and often great responsibility. Eighteen year old girls coming home to be heads of households because younger siblings had been hidden and there was no one else.
And they just did it.
When I was involved with schools the Catholics had (I hope they still do, too!) a policy of never refusing to enrol a child no matter how long it might take the parents to pay off the fees. Some independent Protestant schools may have a similar policy but I could never get Anglicans to adopt it, which was very shortsighted of them.

There’s a few here who really need to have a Bex and a lie down and reflect on themselves. I normally scroll past the abuse and madness but there’s so much that it takes up huge slabs of the page. There’s no need for it, if you don’t like or aren’t interested in what someone says just ignore it.
I’ve accused people on other sites of TDS but there’s a sort of derangement here that I don’t understand. It’s getting to the point where I’m about to bail.

In the minds of the public it is a moral and ethical argument rather than a legal one.

DOH Whistleblower Says Covid Inflated for Profit ‘He went for gunshot wounds and was coded as COVID’

COVID Cases Inflated for Profit: ‘The Guy Went in for Multiple Gunshot Wounds and he was Coded as COVID’
• Jeanne Stagg, a whistleblower who worked in Inpatient Utilization Management, approached Project Veritas after seeing cases coded as COVID-19 that she says should not have COVID-19 listed as the “primary diagnosis.”
• Stagg: “I’ve tried to raise awareness to my leadership and even with the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Department, and it just kind of fell on deaf ears.”
• The Chief Medical Officer for United Healthcare of Louisiana (Medicaid) opined in a recorded phone conversation that the Medicaid rate for reimbursement of COVID-19 patients, which is faster and significantly higher, could be the motivation for the improper “primary diagnosis” codes.
• “Oh, yes. Yeah. I would think that there’s some motivation that it’s driving higher rates of reimbursement or quicker reimbursement, or something, because otherwise there’s no reason to put, you know, something like that as a leading diagnosis in an asymptom– basically asymptomatic patients,” said Dr. Morial, Chief Medical Officer for United Healthcare of Louisiana.
• The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals has suspended utilization review which is the process of determining whether health care is medically necessary for a patient or an insured individual. The whistleblower says this could be a major contributing factor to spikes in COVID numbers, which then influence public health decisions.
[Baton Rouge, La. – Feb. 2, 2022] A source who works for United Healthcare of Louisiana’s Inpatient Utilization Management Department is blowing the whistle on COVID-19 cases possibly being inflated for financial incentive. The brazen instance of such potential abuse was a patient who had multiple gunshot wounds with his primary diagnosis listed as COVID-19.
United Healthcare of Louisiana is the states’ Medicaid arm, and as the whistleblower Jeanne Stagg points out in a conversation with the Chief Medical Officer of United Healthcare of Louisiana, Dr. Julie Morial, there are several financial incentives for hospitals to prefer to code patients as COVID-19 hospitalizations.
“Well maybe that’s… maybe that’s driving some of the motivation,” said Dr. Morial before stating that the Medicaid rate for reimbursement of COVID-19 patients is both higher and faster.
Project Veritas also published footage of a leadership call within United Healthcare of Louisiana wherein the whistleblower’s attempt to discuss the improper primary diagnoses she is seeing was dismissed.
A major element of this story is the fact that recent actions by public officials have allowed the problem to persist, and the whistleblower believes erroneous codes could be the cause of COVID-19 spikes which influence major public health decisions.
A health plan advisory, which announced that all utilization management for all medical hospitalizations [including but not limited to initial service authorization and concurrent reviews], must be suspended was the action taken — which is in question.
“Now, this is not specific to COVID-19. This is every single hospital admission. We’re not allowed to do medical necessity review. So, it gives the hospitals free reign to admit anything they want. Code it however they want,” says the whistleblower, Jeanne Stagg.
United Healthcare of Louisiana’s Dr. Morial was contacted for comment on this story and said, “When I see a patient, and if a patient is presenting other symptoms that aren’t suggestive of a COVID infection, even though they may test positive for COVID, that’s not my primary diagnosis.”
Damn! I’m with Red and paying 32.23 and 19.65. But I am in Victoria!

As a llow-IQ Ieftard simpleton who believes in every passing political fad from global warmening to BLM’s use of “equity” to end 50 years of racial equality in America, Test captain Pat Cummins appears to be the main wagger of the tail of the dog at Cricket Australia who wants truth-telling banned so everyone can get a prize and team excellence is abolished.
Because CA, like Australia, has zero leadership, Cummins looks set to get Justin Langer sacked to suck the dicks of the millenials in the team who don’t like the dominance that won the hit-and-giggle world cup and the Ashes.

Was using Pacific Hydro in Victoria when I renovated my house for power, 18c a KW and off peak 9c. Bills were very cheap, even when the central gas heating was used with the fans going constantly in winter. Used Click for the gas but they turned out to be very dodgy with undisclosed fees they try on till you used their T&C’s against them, avoid them at all costs. Wonder how many just pay without scrutinising bills?
NSW we used Red Energy when living there 25c/kw and 15c/KW off peak. Was still a third less than Ergon and we used reverse cycle air con on heat a lot from May to September.

Picked out an old electricity bill from 2010 to compare with the latest one from 2021. It is difficult to do a direct comparison because of changes to supply charges and different rate changes for domestic, commercial and controlled load (hot water).
Overall cost in 2010 was 18.34c/kWh.
Overall cost in 2021 was 29.52c/kWh.
Had to go find an electricity bill to confirm, which required disengaging VPN since Goolag Mail goes into conniptions if I have it on when accessing their server. They’re utterly anal. (My electricity bill isn’t attached to a Goolag email, but my email software does all my emails at once, which then causes Gmail to go berko if the VPN is active. None of the other email servers care. Another reason to detest Goolag.)
Ah, here we go. Actual Cafe Bruce rate is $0.34859/kWh plus $0.17666/kWh for off peak HWS. Add $0.97273/day supply charge. If you prorate the supply charge onto the per kWh rate it is 31.5% more, at least for me.
They then discount by 30% because I pay my bill on time, so technically you could reduce those numbers accordingly.
After swings and roundabouts, yes I get charged about 36c/kWh except for the off peak hot water. Thanks Greenies.
Have I ever mentioned we don’t pay anything for power where I live?

I’m paying 19.657c general, and 12.848c for controlled-load-1 electrickery in metro Sydney.
The real killer is the supply charge, 80c daily, before using the first microwatt.
The lesson I learnt after habitual ripping-offery is to shop around, and often.
Just like telcos, electicity providers cannibalise the small players and quietly jack up prices, in classic, u-beaut, ozzy-matey oligopoly fashion.
IMO, AGL, Origin and Red are to be avoided at all costs, plenty of much cheaper alternatives.
Updated Standard 11 again this week. There is a lot of fluff in the course caught by site inductions but the first aid component is a particular waste of time, all sites I know of need of a separate stand alone senior first aid course.

Living in one of the couple of king maker electoral seats, last election I was absolutely swarmed with polls on my phone. Back then I hung up on them all.
Here we go again. But nearly three years later boy aren’t things different. I’ve grown so much!
To start with, to my surprise as I responded to my first ever phone poll, I now identify as a 30 year old woman, with a high school education, working full time but making less than 60k a year who utterly loathes social housing but lean toward voting labor.
I’m going to enjoy this.
These LWNJ’s cant even make simple calculations about the impact on the future from their idiotic decisions they make based on ‘mah feelings’. It’s not until they are personally impacted that they realise, by which time it’s too late. LWNJs should be banned from any decision making.

No it was many of your parents and grandparents, that joined the gendarmes, that thought clearing out the scum from the ports and blowing up their homes so they couldn’t come back was a good idea, who wrote letters informing that x is a member of the marquis, y is a Jew.
One of the unanswered questions from the demolition of the old port homes was who made the big bucks from the redevelopment (mentioned in a vid at the museum) .

We have a 10kw solar panel setup on the farm. AGL pays us $0.20 a kw for excess energy our system has, & we pay them $0.39 a kw for what we buy back overnight & when the sun doesn’t shine. We understand from others that this is quite a good deal!
It annoys me that we still suffer “blackouts” during the day when the lines are under repair, since our solar energy is apparently dangerous to the workers on the line. I believe that this can be overcome, but our system is quite old & it’s probably expensive to correct.
We are not unhappy with our set up, but it is clear that the energy companies set things up to suit themselves.
Last telephone poll I got, I was a twenty something Arts graduate who’d never voted anything other then Green in my life.
It was a little challenging as the questions rolled in to quickly think of the best possible answers that would help corrupt the poll in the best possible way.
In a way, on consideration, responding to these polls is more powerful than my vote. Just a few thousand of us are chosen to respond to the polls, compared to hundreds of thousands who vote. And the poll responses dictate much of what the election will be fought about. Isn’t that weird?

“Cardinal George Pell blesses former PM Tony Abbott’s new CBD offices
Liberal luminaries including John Howard and Dominic Perrottet joined together in prayer as Cardinal George Pell blessed Tony Abbott’s new digs.
James Morrow
Alright, so it wasn’t quite American fire and brimstone preacher Billy Graham sitting down for a deep and meaningful with Roman Catholic pontiff Pope John Paul II.
But a blessing by Cardinal George Pell upon the new CBD digs of former prime minister Tony Abbott and all who work within its walls did perhaps more to bridge the old Catholic-Protestant divide in Australian public life since James Scullin was sent to the Lodge.
Midway through the evening, a jovial affair that saw fellow former PM John Howard pop in as well as current NSW Premier Dom Perrottet and a number of other Liberal luminaries, His Eminence asked those assembled to pause and bow their heads.
After a few words of wisdom and a reading from St Paul essentially urging everyone to get to work and stick to their knitting – good advice for people of all faiths, or none, really – guests were asked to join in saying those familiar words, “Our Father, who art in heaven …”.
But while the room’s Catholic faction stopped at “and deliver us from evil”, the Anglicans continued, as is their tradition: “ … for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever …”.
Predictable ecumenical hilarity ensued, with both camps having such a laugh at the old tribal divide rearing its head that the Cardinal had to settle the crowd like an unruly classroom before getting a unanimous “Amen”.

I’m surprised there wasn’t a biblical cataclysmic event with those people there.

“It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” written by Paul Anka, was recorded by Buddy Holly on October 21, 1958 in the same session as “True Love Ways, ” “Raining in My Heart,” and “Moondreams” with Dick Jacobs’ orchestra. Released on January 5, 1959 on the Coral label, backed with “Raining In My Heart” it became a hit shortly after Holly died in a plane crash on February 3

Electrickery rates quoted by other Cats are a bit scary.
I went back and checked my previous bill with Origin from 12 months ago. Previous rate was 19.87c/kWh and daily supply charge of 92.5c whereas my top rate with Red Energy is 18.98c and daily charge of 85c.
In the grand scheme I didn’t save a lot by changing but holy crap, the rates are a lot better than some. Commiserations.
Yep.

Hehe, last phone poll I got took me about ten minutes of questions before I worked out it was a Lib push poll. And I’m fairly switched on. Eventually the questions were big on cash cards for Centrelinkers and abos. Nope, totally unimportant towards next election according to this voter. Maybe ask about something meaningful next time like net zero or country shoppers.
They obviously have to camouflage their polls to seduce the punter to actually answer. It’s that bad.

This Courier Mail article today is one I am keeping and think might be of interest. My rejected comment below.
3 FEB Covid Qld: Latest case numbers amid major booster change
Queensland has recorded 8643 Covid-19 cases and nine more deaths, as a Gold Coast study has revealed just how widespread unknown community transmission is, with figures showing nine out of 10 positive cases didn’t even know they had the virus.
Queensland has recorded 8643 new cases of Covid-19 and nine deaths as a two-day study which involved randomly testing people showed just how widespread unknown community transmission was.
Four of the deaths were in aged care and all were over 60 years old, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has revealed.
Of the nine deaths, one person was in their 60s, two in the 70s, three in the 80s, one in 90s and two over the age of 100. Three people were unvaccinated, one had one dose, four were double vaccinated and one person was triple vaccinated.
Chief Health officer Dr John Gerrard said a study on the Gold Coast to “get a better idea of what is really happening” with Covid-19 revealed that on January 22, when the virus was peaking on the coast, 117 randomised households were visited and tests performed on an individual.
Of those 117 people tested, 20 came back positive – one in six. Only four of the 20 reported having any symptoms, Dr Gerrard said.
“There were people walking around the Gold Coast who had no idea they had Covid-19,” he said.
Dr Gerrard said two among the 20 knew they were positive, meaning 18 did not know they were positive.
“To recap, four out of five had no symptoms and nine out of 10 did not know they were positive,” he said.
“It is quite extraordinary.
“There are people walking around the Gold Coast who had no idea they were infected.
“A lot of people that have been infected are completely unaware they were infected. That number is significant.”
He said that cemented the reason masks were so important.
Dr Gerrard said authorities were still “planning for the worst” in preparing for potential future waves, especially in winter.
“Clearly the virus is much more widespread than the collected data has suggested,” he said.
“At this stage we still don’t know the total number of people in Queensland and on the Gold Coast who have been infected.”
He tipped one third of the state had been infected.
He said a repeated study of 143 households repeated a week later found that 11 people were positive and six had symptoms. Only two already knew they had Covid.
He said it indicated the pandemic peak had passed on the Gold Coast.
Dr Gerrard said it was therefore likely there was a significant number of the population who had already been infected but didn’t know it.
Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the state now had a much better understanding of the prevalence of Covid in the community.
It is expected one in 13 people on the Gold Coast are positive.
Ms D’Ath urged people to get tested if they had symptoms, and that testing lines were no longer as bad as they were earlier last month.
She said she was concerned that there were people in the study who had been symptomatic, but who hadn’t been tested.
There are 749 people in public hospitals and 47 in intensive care.
There are 89.71 per cent of people with two doses of the vaccine and 34 per cent of children aged 5-11 have one dose.
It comes as hundreds of thousands of Australians aged 16 and 17 have been given the green light to get their Covid-19 booster three months after their second dose.
Almost 90 per cent of teenagers in this group have already received their second dose of the vaccine, with at least two-thirds to be eligible for their booster from Tuesday.
Ms D’Ath said vaccinations would be available from state clinics from today.
She hit out at the Commonwealth’s establishment of an aged care taskforce, declaring it knew what the problems were.
“We’ve had a Royal Commission, the recommendations are there and the Commonwealth knows what needs to be done,” she said.
However, Ms D’Ath said the taskforce would be welcomed if it was able to urgently fix problems in the sector’s Covid-19 response.
My Rejected comment :
Plus remember about 90% double jabbed and a lot triple jabbed. Those dying with Covid based on today’s article are average mid 80,’s and as we know with co-morbidities. CHO says probably 1 in 3 had it which means the number of deaths, ICU and hospitalisations are even less concerning per million. Can we get back to normal now and remove restrictions designed to coerce vaccination when they have clearly not stopped the spread. To think people have lost their jobs and freedom of movement over this is ridiculous. “To recap, four out of five had no symptoms and nine out of 10 did not know they were positive”.
Miss A – They’re a Coles stock item. Along with currawong mince and cockie bread. Because of the rain this week the latter were extremely keen at Cafe Bruce all day, which was a problem since I was running out. Plus all the noisy miners came for refueling too, they’ve been elsewhere lately, until today. Got to go stock up tomorrow at the Coles bird food emporium.

Can fascist, mandate loving trash actually be Christian?
The relative risk of coronary heart disease associated with an absolute increase of 2 percent in the intake of trans fatty acids was… 1.93 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.43 to 2.61) in the Nurses’ Health Study.
This is my favorite study of the bunch. Check out its results.
It reports no statistically significant association between total fat intake and risk of cornary heart disease.
It reports no statistically significant association between animal fat intake and risk of cornary heart disease.
It reports no statistically significant association between saturated fat intake and risk of cornary heart disease.
It reports no statistically significant association between cholesterol intake and risk of cornary heart disease.
The reported association between trans fat and coronary heart disease is only statistically significant for the highest consumption of trans fats — but it’s still a very weak statistical association (relative risk = 1.53).
This study basically reports that all we’ve been told about the association between fat consumption and heart disease is not supported by data collected from 90,000 nurses over a period of 20 years. So either the study data is wrong or the public health establishment has been wrong about fat consumption being associated with heart disease risk. If the study data is wrong, then I doubt the trans fat result. If the public health establishment is wrong then why should we believe it about trans fat when it has been generally wrong about fat consumption for the last two or three decades?
P, we shouldn’t forget the others who died that fateful day, the day that the music died.

Fehlbergs also make “Sandwich Stackers”, which are pickled cubes sliced lengthwise, and a couple of millimetres thick and about 10 cm long. As the name suggests, they are great, tangy and crunchy, in sandwiches or burgers.
I also love their chili pickled onions, though I sometimes make my own. Hardly worth the effort, though.
Woolies stock Fehlbergs products, at least here in Perth they do.

There is a fat in dairy, Conjugated linoleic acid, a trans fat, that has been shown to be cardioprotective and possibly has other health benefits.

They took out the fat and threw in the sugar. FMD.
