Some very, very bad advice here. Please do your nutritional research before you post things like that.
At least give links to scientific studies to back up your claims. And I don’t mean news articles. I mean studies.
Saying butter has vitamins and is healthy is probably the worst advice you can give someone. To much fat of any kind in our diet is one of the main reason why the number one killer of mankind is heart disease. Please do your research. Some tips where to look.

Great post Ruby! Every single thing I thought of you’ve got down just right to pat! Too often do my own family members and even people who are active and fit think and promote flavored yoghurts and granola and multigrain breads as ‘healthy’ foods without also noting the amount of sugar or overall calories! I even took the time to compare the calories of different types of bread for my mother to make a point that her multi grain had about a third more calorie than another bread which isn’t enriched with multi grains…my point wasn’t that it was unhealthy but that calories are calories! Love your points about sugars…we all focus on the ‘non fat’ or ‘low fat’ and that doesn’t mean it’s healthy! If there’s less fat there’s always going to be more salt or sugar or something!

I do hope people read this, especially in Singapore where food has been overlooked for other non-essential pursuits. Instead of new restaurant openings, bloggers, businesses, and the health authorities should be championing markets where people can buy their wholesome food. We should have more cooking demonstrations during the weekends at parks and young people can take part in food sharing schemes during workdays. I would be happy to cook proper and wholesome food for others who do not have the time and skills to prepare their own meals. And it doesn’t have to be a profit making endeavour, a sharing community can well be developed in connected Singapore.
