Hope it's not too late to comment on this. Great post, with one small problem. Fried food IS a food group! :-)

Seriously... IF-- and that's a big "if"-- you eat a relatively balanced and healthy diet, and if you are relatively active, and you get a craving for fried food... go with it! This happens to me about twice per year, and often at the end of the summer. I know this b/c I know what we do about my hankering for fried food. We crank up the turkey fryer & do fried okra, eggplant, corn fritters, etc. Since everything comes form my garden, I reason that my "body is telling me" I need some fat. And I don't feel the least bit guilty.

Same goes for my occasional craving for popcorn. Need some sodium. I probably wouldn't have this craving if we ate processed food, but we don't, so I do. (Real old-school popcorn kernels, though.)

Love that Hippocrates quote. Awesome!
