I think it is usually unnecessary to write to someone just to say

thank you for an answer. But I am doing this with you, because you

took the trouble to give me a very comprehensible and comprehensive

answer, and I am really grateful. How could I repay?

Well, I have chosen three paragraphs of your account as the most

important ones in my opinion. See above. The third one is

particularly relevant to me, because that is a *problem* I experience

at home: my dear wife and kids trim away all the fat from their meats

and leave it untouched on the plates, while I eat it all. I have

almost given up telling them how important it is to eat that fat.

Fortunately we are all eating butter.

Thanks .
