We make our own batch at home too. We use old-fashioned rolled oats, raisins, nuts (cashews, sliced almonds, or walnuts), bran flakes, and other dried fruits (whatever you like). I pour enough lactose-free skim milk over it and wait a few minutes for the oats to soften. I eat this almost everyday or every other day or whenever I feel like I ate too much oily/fatty food. It really is a good way to loose weight.

love oatmeal myself but i use the steel cut oats, just soak overnight and cooks well in the morning, add a tbsp of two of butter (real one) and a little salt, then i add dried cranberries for sweetness. this is specially good for lactose intolerance, and no added sugar. for kids make regular oatmeal and toss hot cocoa mix. just like champorado.

my answer to Mila’s question; it is because we dont let them live long enough to suffer the bad effects of having a cholesterol laden body.

I think the reason why cows have fat saturated muscles even though they only eat fibres that is practically fat free has something to do with the process of natural selection. Fat is a form if stored energy which the cow’s body can use in time of famine.Maybe the current breed of cows have special enzymes that can convert grass into fat and muscle and this breed is the one that survived the numerous famine throughout the ages, whereas those breed that doesn’t store much fat died out.In human, the fibres in the veges acts like a sponge that absorbs the fat in our body and pass it out as stool.
