I realized today that I’ve begun consuming “healthy replacements” for most of the staples of the 20th century American kitchen: sugar, wheat, milk, butter, and salt. (Respectively: stevia, spelt, rice milk, Earth Balance, potassium chloride.)

Isn’t that weird? I’m having a food-pyramid moment, i.e., everything you think you know is wrong.

By the way, this Earth Balance product finally lays to rest the butter/margarine debate. It tastes more or less like butter, but contains neither saturated animal fats nor trans fats. Another way to say that: when eaten in enormous quantities, it will kill you somewhat more slowly than either butter or margarine.

(Of course, the best answer to the question “Which is safer to spread on my bread?” is “You shouldn’t eat the bread in the first place.” Take it from me — I’m a baker.)
