What kind of diet is best for the planet?
Some researchers attempted to understand the carbon footprint of various diets. Really interesting results in my opinion.

Dairy fat not linked to weight gain
In fact, some studies linked here show the opposite, basically because fat is satiating. To make matters worse, food companies realize that skim milk isn't appetizing, so they do funny stuff to make it look and taste better. That funny stuff can end up making the milk, which in a natural state is pretty healthy for many people, actually dangerous by oxidizing the cholesterol.

Spicy fresh garlic dip
Trader Joe's full fat Greek yogurt, a healthy drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and minced fresh garlic. With these three ingredients, you can customize the rest of the spices to make what you like. This time I used red pepper flakes, paprika, basil and oregano.

Transform Mealy Apricots
Cooked down in coconut oil, then added coconut butter to thicken and fresh squeezed pink grapefruit to cut the sweetness. Ate with huge clouds of fresh organic heavy whipped cream.

Greek Meatballs with Tzaziki
Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground lamb
2 eggs
white onion
fresh garlic
fresh and dried mint
fresh parsley
pepper
cumin
paprika
fried in olive oil with a bit of coconut oil
I don't mind a very onion-y taste and I'm lazy, so I didn't chop the onions very fine.
Tzaziki: Trader Joe's full fat Greek yogurt - 2 cups
skinny cucumbers, partially seeded
lots of fresh mint
a bit of fresh parsley
1/4 cup raw onion
roasted garlic
fresh lemon juice
olive oil
salt and pepper
This came out as a sauce, not a dip, because I didn't fully seed the cucumbers. The raw onion adds a very sharp taste, so adjust for your preference. I used a blender.
