Comments on: Group C Meals can include a starch if it’s not “prepared with fat.” All of the crackers, oat cakes, corn chips, potato chips, and breads I know of are made with oil or butter in them. When is it a significant enough amount of fat in a product to make it a bad combination? (Obviously I put fresh cheeses -not butter- on them when eating a fruit meal.) I know if I needed to I could stick with starches prepared with zero fat such as rice, barley, quinoa, pasta, sweet potato, potato etc. and eat them with say ricotta cheese or fruit juice for moisture and taste, but that is not called for in the book. I don’t mean to be too purist, but the question is there in the back of my mind every time I bring out the corn chips with a fruit meal. Thanks!
