I love this Esquire interview with Julia Child. The theme is “What I’ve Learned” and I think the very first thing on the list should be memorized by every man, woman and child in this frighteningly health-conscious culture. “Fat gives things flavor.”
Further down, she says, “I’m awfully sorry for people who are taken in by all of today’s dietary mumbo jumbo. They are not getting any enjoyment out of their food. ”
She suggests: “Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health.”
Amen! [via Metafilter]
