I can't eat meat, cheese or egg yolks because of it either. Without being overly gross, the bathroom is my kingdom after I eat something high in fat and I'd be essentially on a painkiller drip too. I've been in and out of the hospital a couple times for it and they have no current cause label for it. I'm far from being overweight (though I used to be) but I'm not "fit" either... I do have to be very careful to avoid a reaction with my meals. <BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you over the "fat is not the enemy" stance. I totally support those who <I>can</I> eat small amounts of the good fats without adding them to everything (like Susan @ FatFree Vegan). Believe it or not, I was the BIGGEST fast food junkie when I was younger. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your concern! I'd have replied directly but you didn't give me an e-mail or blog to post to.<BR/><BR/>-SarahSarah Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995934753291549654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159457311435737252.post-16819209687791227292008-12-04T12:44:00.000-05:002008-12-04T12:44:00.000-05:00I love chestnuts too.

Yes, you said because of the fat content, but the fats in nuts are GOOD fats, and they should be part of a healthy diet, when eaten in moderation. Your picture doesn't look as though you're overweight, so I'm just curious. It seems as though so many Americans are making fat the villain of every health problem. I'm sorry to sound so nosy, but this is one of my 'pet peeves'.Carolina deWittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356276329845892046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159457311435737252.post-82965710115257055782008-11-27T17:46:00.000-05:002008-11-27T17:46:00.000-05:00This sounds like a great way to enjoy chestnuts! ...This sounds like a great way to enjoy chestnuts!
