No, this is not a bad-taste ethnic joke. This appeared in Wednesday's
Chicago Tribune, under the headline of "Praise the Lard." A Polish
physician named Jan Kwasniewski published a book stating that the "ideal
nutritional combo came from eating three grams of fat for every one gram
of protein and half a gram of carbohydrates." In practice, this amounts
to 250 grams of fat and 2900 total Calories per day. This diet has
taken off among the Polish community in Chicago, particularly senior
citizens. The sample meal plan published in the paper looks like this:

BREAKFAST
2 slices homemade headcheese loaf with mustard
1 soft-boiled egg
2 cheese-lard pancakes with butter
Tea with lemon (no sugar)

LUNCH
2 slices baked blood sausage fried in bacon fat
Tea with lemon (no sugar)

DINNER
Broth with 2 egg yolks
Hash browns
1 strip bacon

This makes Atkins look downright prudent, something I never thought I'd
say.

I presume you mean it wasn't _intended_ as such. Looking at the menu, I
would say it is.

I took it straight from the Chicago Tribune article. SO took one look
at it and got chest pains.

Now, I may not get this all right . . . I just saw a TV program on I think
PBS that was saying the big problem it is going to be to convince people
that lard, real butter, fat is actually good and that the stuff they've been
saying for years, is good is really bad like margarine etc.

Seems that hydrogenated fats are the problem and are used in everything
today because they were suposed to be good vs. the BAD natural stuff. Well,
what bother some researchers was that when people started eliminating
butter, lard etc, instead of the artery/heart problems going down, the
number got worse and have continued to get worse for 30 years.

Apparently the gov. knew about it and all kinds of payoffs were done to keep
this info under wraps. As I said, from memory, a couple weeks ago.

So it appears that the Polish diet compared to what one would normally eat
is actually better for you. Hard to believe because all commercial breads,
processed meats, baked goods, imitation butters are all made with these
artery clogging hydrogenated oils. Some manufacturers are starting to
eliminate them and go back to things like palm oil because it actually does
less damage.

Gawd, leave it to big business to screw the public for the sake of the
almight dollar/currency and screwed them for 30 years.

If you see the program advetising similar, check it out. It was quite
enlightening.
