True, because 'low fat' has many different meanings, depending on whom you ask. For some it means 'only' thirty per cent of calories in total fat, for others it means around five per cent. For those who are concerned with optimal nutrition and absolutely not 'wasting' calories, keeping an eye on the total fat in any so-called 'low fat' recipe (or packaged food/meal if ever consumed) is important. I haven't checked the total sodium in the meal, btw - which is a consideration for many. > As you say though, leaving it out > often works just fine. Yes, and even if it doesn't have the 'richness' of the original, it has the virtue of being easier on the bods of those who can't or shouldn't have added fat. I've long accustomed myself to tasting veggies without any fats/oils added, and I have found that I can now taste things I couldn't taste before.
