Gwen, what exactly are your nutrition credentials? I see you're a makeup artist. Do you have any real training and education in nutrition?

Advocating "getting rid of butter" is absurd. Saturated fat is healthy and good for the body. So is grass fed red meat (no need to limit it to once a week...where do you get this stuff?!).

Learn the facts about what really constitutes a "healthy" diet before spouting off old myths that have no scientific backing whatsoever (for your education, I suggest you google "Ansel Keys").

The myth that saturated fat (like butter and red meat) is "bad" has no factual scientific basis whatsoever.
