For the next Kitchen Kop Giveaway, the prize is a Real Foodie movie and popcorn night, which includes a Fat Head DVD and a Stainless Steel Popcorn Popper, a total value of $43!

Real Foodies need movie nights, too.

You may remember the Fat Head Movie Review, where I explained that while I don’t love the beginning of this movie, the second half contains the best explanation on how the saturated fat myth took hold, which is why I’m hooked.  (If you win and would like to choose a different movie, though, see below for more about that.) Read more about healthy fats in case you’re not sure which ones to avoid.

This popcorn popper is used a lot at our house — I love that it’s made of stainless steel, because most poppers like this are made of aluminum OR Teflon, both of which we definitely want to avoid.  Popcorn is my favorite way to get more Coconut oil into our diets around here, not to mention the trace minerals in sea salt and plenty of pastured butter.  Have you seen my popcorn with coconut oil recipe?

ENTERING IS SIMPLE!

There are only two mandatory entries:

I think the more I saw the message that real fats were good for you, the more used to the idea I became. And it made sense to me that eating food as God had provided it was better than eating overly processed junk.

For many years I did what they said, ate low fat and lots of carbs… I kept gaining weight in my 20′s. I finally found low carb & it was the only way of eating that allowed me to loose weight. I’ve read alot on the blog livin’ la vita low carb – Jimmy has alot of info about carbs making you fat not fat making you fat. Then when I found WAPF blogs it really made sense to me.

I think hearing about the myth from books/sites/people like you and then coming to the realization that saturated fats are natural and people have been eating them for generations after generations. But it’s only fairly recently that people have begun to have the serious health issues that are commonly attributed to eating saturated fats.

I’ve always been a butter user, but my rationale was “just a little” — and I mean a very little! So it didn’t take much convincing to go ahead and use more. What surprised me most, though, is how much easier it is to cook with saturated fat. It’s almost foolproof!

I never believed the sat fat myth. My husband and I fit the “Jack Spratt” story down to a T. He won’t touch animal fat and I can’t leave it behind. I think my body always knew what it needed and I just needed to remember to listen.

Mark’s Daily Apple is the website that got me over my fat-phobia. Besides eating lots of grass-fed beef and eggs, I cook pretty much everything in coconut oil: fried eggs, stir-fried veggies, etc. Even though I stay away from grains for the most part, my big weekly cheat is a giant bowl of popcorn drenched in coconut oil while watching a movie on the couch, so this contest is perfect for me!

Well, while it is both bad and good to an extent I have always ignored both fad diets and all the new dietary advice given on tv and often by do ctors. We eat farm raised meat, raise our own chickens/eggs, organic garden, and preserve 98 percent of our own food. I feel like that is as healthy as we can get, so I have always ignored the saturated fat/mono/poly/ etc stuff they talk about

to answer the big question…My mother in law is big into real, organic food. So when I married into the family, I got curious. Boy, were there a lot of things I didn’t know! I started doing my own research on food and stumbled across the “fat issue” in due time. I could hardly believe it when I realized that the whole “fat is bad” mantra I’d been fed my entire life…..was a lie! From there it wasn’t too hard to start making changes in our diet. It was relieving to find this out, actually. I love butter…and whole milk… :)

Heck, Avocados and coconuts are “fatty,” but so so good and tasty!

Dr. Tom Cowan came to talk to my class during our Waldorf teacher training in New Hampshire back in 1999. I was a vegetarian at the time and did not like what he had to say, which was basically that if you are planning to have children and you want them to be healthy and not have horrible teeth, one needs to eat animal fats. He answered all the questions I threw at him, so I decided to buy the book he recommended, Nourishing Traditions. I began to read it and incorporate it into my diet then, and continue to do so to this day. I also always reminded my junior high students to READ the labels and to avoid hydrogenated oil like the plague. I would hand out copies of the NOurishing Tradition blurb on fats to everyone who cared to know, and this was before it went mainstream that transfats are bad for you. Now I am on the raw milk bandwagon.

I don’t know if I ever really cared about being ‘fat free’. I LOVE butter, and have always thought it made baked goods taste yummier than baked with margarine or shortening. But recently I’m researching and learning that shortening and margarine and hygrogenated oils aren’t that great, so I’m looking into using lard next time instead of shortening. And i’ve already seen Food Inc, so Fat Head would be interesting to watch.

I’m old enough to have seen how my Mom used to doctor up oleo to try to get it to look like butter … And when it would melt from being in a warm room, etc. and then solidify again it tasted just awful! That made me very suspicious! In later years my family has become more health conscious and we’ve read enough to know which fats are truly good for us. Now to convince my parents!

61 Marilee February 4, 2012 at 11:54 am

Every once in awhile I find the fat is bad mentality cropping up in my thoughts, and I’m always surprised, because I’ll go for weeks without giving it a thought, and I’ll think I’m over it. It’s so ingrained in me from growing up, that it’s going to take lots of time to really get over it! But I’m teaching my children about real food nutrition, and love when they are excited about real healthy whole fats and good foods. I find its so freeing not to worry about how much I’m eating and counting calories, so its a work in progress, but one I’m extremely enjoying!

I’d never really strayed too far. I grew up with Hungarian food (lots of chicken fat and real pork lard) which I continued to choose despite popular theories because everything tasted so much better. And I loved butter, especially since we couldn’t have much in my earliest years because of war rationing — but my farmer grandparents had plenty around when we visited them. And my other grandparents were chicken farmers (the old-fashioned kind), so I never knew eggs were supposed to be bad for you.

Just watched Fathead DVD from the library and loved it! Tom Naughton is fantastic, even though the beginning seems to be simply a diatribe to make Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me) wrong…until you keep watching and realize differently.

Then I went low carb, dumped the grains, ate more fat and went from having labs that made me pre diabetic to having labs that were normal. Actually better than normal. The doctor usually tells me that mine are better than people half my age. No more low fat for me!

If I had an amazon gift card I would get my own copy of FatHead (I saw it at a friends house) and the new low carb cookbook Nourished by Judy Barnes Baker.

I got over the saturated fat myth pretty easily. Growing up my parents had always used butter instead of margarine and I just like the taste of bacon grease, so when I read about the health benefits of coconut oil and the heart health problems with canola and other vegetable oils I just switched.

I grew up on parkay & egg beaters, lowfat, low/no salt, etc. cuz of my dad’s heart attack….I married a butter, salt (not the good stuff but salt), real mayo, kinda guy & I guess I followed my “taste”….now learning that it is better just makes sense as to If God made it vs man, wouldn’t it be better for us….I mean seriously, when has man ever out done man – um NEVER!

I don’t think I ever had an opinion against saturated fat. I never liked fats much so never really cared what was said about them. However, I started reading and reading and, after realizing how important they are, I’ve made the effort to sneak gobs in my diet now.

Getting over saturated fat is bad mentality was pretty easy once I did some research, got involved with the WAPF, listened to science based studies, found out how faulty the lipid hypothesis theory was because Keys left out significant data, read “Eat Fat Lose Fat”, etc…

123 Olivia February 5, 2012 at 1:28 pm

I was never against saturated fat and ignored the “lie” because fat has always made me feel well. I also always “felt” vegetable oils weren’t that great, as they never agreed with me as much. So I was relieved when I learned it was okay to cut out the veggie oils!

As far as movie on amazon, I would probably buy the Wise Traditions 2011 Conference DVD or the GAPS DVD.

I realized that saturated fat in moderation was all right. In fact, most things like that in moderation are. And I know that all the various oils are good. There is the difference between bad and good saturated fat just like bad and good cholesterol.

It seems like so many more people are getting cancer, and other sicknesses…it doesn’t seem like the low-fat hype is helping people’s health. I have read a lot over the years, and have come to the belief that all fat isn’t bad for you. I believe it all depends on the type of fat you are using. I love coconut oil for many reasons, especially the good healthy benefits.

Lots of reading around on the internet, and getting good advice from friends! Also needing to gain weight has made it easier to overcome “fear” of fats!

When I read NT it made since, especially Mary Enig who explained that all our cells are coated in Sat. fat, margarine also coats, but electrical signals can’t get through margarine coating.

Kelly,
I read the book Eat Fat, Lose Fat by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon and the truth is so logical. I’m trying to persuade others that saturated fat is what our bodies need.
I am so happy that the local chapter leader referred me to your website and that I signed up for the newsletter! I feel like a child in a candy store where I know all the “candy” is actually good for me.
I would choose the DVD, Fat Head because after I watch it I’d donate it to my Library as none of the libraries in our 47 library consortium own it.
Thanks ever so much for the opportunity!

I think it just took reading the facts and realizing that it just made sense. The history of the way people have eaten throughout time and the history of increases in disease made it clear to me. Now the “standard” health message seems so bizarre!

I already receive the newsletter. After many chronic sinus and digestive issues I found the GAPS diet and all of the wonderful traditional foods blogs and changed the way I ate.

I researched and researched more on saturated fats. And found that transfats scare the crap out of me!!!! So I started trying to use more & more saturated fats (which wasn’t hard at all because we all love butter around here!). The more I incorporated saturated fats (using coconut oil etc) I found I felt more full after meals and lost my carb cravings!! YEAH!

We began eating a Mediterranean diet when we lived overseas several years ago. When we returned to the States, I used a lot of olive oil and was introduced other traditional fats after doing online research, due in part to the many real food bloggers out there, including Kelly at Kitchen Kop.

169 Flo February 11, 2012 at 6:25 pm

We grew up with margarine (probably because of price) and Velveeta (for the same reason, I’m sure). I never really DID fuss about it much. I did eat a lot of junk food, though. Both my Grandma and Mom were into health and Adele Davis so I had a foot in each world. As I got older and things started to go downhill healthwise, I started reading. It only seemed to make sense that the way God made things would be so much better for us than the way they’d been manufactured. I don’t live up to this at all, though. Thanks to Kelly and other bloggers, I keep reading, though, and putting bits and pieces into practice.

I have been an avid reader of your website. I am very eager to learn more. I am still learning! Thank you for your website and all the info you provide here.

My husband and I do not use margarine or any of that artificial butter. We now use REAL butter. We also use a lot of coconut oil.
