To Fry Or Not To Fry?

Here's a little known factoid - did you know that KFC changed its image by retiring the slogan Kentucky FRIED Chicken. Instead, they became known as serving up Kitchen Fresh Chicken. Long are the days of Wesson Oil commercials that proudly encouraged yummy fried chicken for dinner. When was the last time you saw a splatter screen? How about a Fry Daddy? It must be a pretty big sin to eat fried foods these days. Or is it?

6. Eat foods that are high in fiber. For instance, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and some cereals are good. (Look for the boxes that say "may help lower cholesterol.")First there were the french fries, now there are deep fried dill pickles and deep fried Oreos? How did THAT leap happen? Don�t forget deep fried ice cream and deep fried peaches. Of course what menu isn�t complete without the deep fried mushrooms, deep friend cheese sticks, and deep friend cauliflower? Perhaps if you deep fry vegetables, it�s a little healthier? Is that how it works? Or if you deep fry already fattening nibbles, such as ice cream and Oreos, then it doesn�t really matter because you�re already cheating?So perhaps no one is trying to say that fried foods are good for you, but nations sure are indulging in the grease laden foods, especially Americans. Perhaps this isn�t a good time to bring up the Obesity statistics. But here�s the kicker, "It tastes so good!" Granted, some fried foods are just too greasy, but a majority of them just taste delicious. That�s why loads of indulgers treat themselves to a so many artery-closing delicacies!8. Watch your salad dressing. Most of them are full of trans fats and cholesterol. Olive oil is good, and maybe add vinegar or lemon juice. Also, skip the bacon bits, croutons, and egg yolks.For most health related issues, diet and exercise are two of the most crucial components. What you eat is critical to lowering your cholesterol levels, so let's focus on that for now.

Maybe you should say fats. Did we ever decide if fried was a bad word? Perchance the better word is Saut�ed. Indeed. Saut�ed Oreos - much healthier!
