Transfat, polysaturated, monosaturated......

In short, lets not try to hard to figure out what to butter that piece of toast with butter or margarine. Marmalade or peanut butter.
The best solution is to go back to our asian roots. Growing up at granpa's home had been clear watery porridge with bits of fried ikan bilis and steam fish with a dash of soya is the standard fare. Salted egg and pickled vegetable to compliment the otherwise blant taste of porridge. Once awhile on weekends it's stew port belly with tofu and mushrooms.

Wouldn't this make a healthier choice? Hmm......

Salted egg and pickled vegetable? I'm not so sure about their nutritious value. I think moderation is still the key to healthy living. Eat but only 80% full.

Btw, the high salt content in our Asian diet is one of the main cause of cancer among Asians, especially cancer affecting nose and throat. People in the past were very fond of salted fish....
