Low carb? No fat? No thanks!

I've spent this week learning about the different essential nutrients. The ones on my course outline were carbs, fats and proteins but I also did a bit on minerals and vitamins. I've learned a bit about these last semester in Bio 12, but at a different angle then what I'm learning about now. I had no idea how important fat is to a diet!!! Considering you always here stuff about eating low fat/ no fat foods, they really aren't the evil thing the media is making them out to be. Its the same with carbs. I've also noticed that there are certain foods that keep coming up, obviously these are what they mean by superfoods! I was quite happy to see almonds show up so many times :)
I think I've just about finished what I'm going to do for this Unit and hopefully by the end of next week I will be able to hand in some sort of project, but it might have to be finished over the break. My goal for the weekend is to do my first recipe modification.
