NEW YORK (Reuters) - Julia Child, the grande dame of U.S. television
cooking
shows and books, has died aged 91, her publisher said on Friday.

Alfred A. Knopf said in a statement she died in her sleep on Thursday at
her
Santa Barbara, California, home.


Since she died in her sleep, I hope it was after a day of good eating.
Certainly it was after 91 years of butter.

i'm with you. grandmaw on my dads side just turned 100 this past july. and
she's cooked with rendered fat back and bacon fat and made biscuits with
real lard her entire life. i suppose genetics play a part in that however,
you can't deny that people are living to a century old subsisting on things
that current popular opinion has deemed evil!

Yep, pretty cool.
Think what they would have missed, obsessing over what people told them was too
dangerous to eat. ;-D

They ate (and continue to eat) much smaller portions than we do, and they
often did physical work for a living.

We supersize fries and sit at desks all day long.

I remember how vehemently she spoke out about low fat diets -- how
they make your skin dry and your hair dull. She was really worked up
in one interview.

She recommended everything in moderation, eating small portions, and
good wine. That diet certainly worked for her. She appeared healthy
and sound till the last.

It's true. I was on a extreme 15% fat diet once when I was trying to bulk
up and lose weight. After a couple weeks my skin became dry and flakey. I
backed off.

A friend has heart disease and high cholesterol run strong on both sides
of her family. (Parents, aunts and uncles dying of heart attacks in
their late 40s and early 50s.) A doctor recommended an extremely low
fat diet. She followed it exactly. One can only imagine the doctor had
never had a patient actually follow the diet before as he'd never before
had a patient come back with flaky skin, her hair falling out and
showing all the symptoms of someone suffering from vitamin deficiencies.
She was getting so little fat, she wasn't absorbing the oil soluble
vitamins. I don't know the effect on her cholesterol.

I remember reading or seeing something about her with regard to
McDonalds; loved their fries. One day when she was at one of the
"joints" she noticed the fries tasted different. It was said she
stormed into the kitchen and demanded to see what they were doing. She
found they no longer cooked them in fat and lectured them severely on
their change of preparation!

I have always followed her method of moderation.
