Janet, I like the fact that you say 'real butter' as the 'in' thing in 2012. For the information of your readers, I would like to bring to their attention clarified butter or 'ghee' as we call it here in India. Ghee is made by carefully simmering unsalted butter to eliminate the moisture, a process that lightly browns the natural oils giving it an almost nutlike flavor, then heat pasteurizing the purified and strained oil in a sealed can. This Ghee which is made in Indian households by the woman of the house is ideal for sautéing, braising, pan-frying and deep-frying whenever you want a rich butter-infused flavor. It is packed with flavor, and often 1 tablespoon of ghee will work just as well as four tablespoons of any other cooking oil. It is the healthy, all-natural, salt-free, lactose-free alternative to hydrogenated oils that clog arteries. As a nutritionist and a skin and anti aging doctor from Mumbai, I always advise pure ghee made from cow's milk as a virtual elixir! it improves health, helps quick oxidation of negative elements in the body & promotes great looking skin and good health. Try looking for 'Ghee' it in your local high-end specialty / ethnic stores especially the Indian ones.

I love this list! I’d like to see more ‘slow food’ and less ‘fast food’. In just the past couple months my town has gotten 4 new fast food restaurants and zero new local restaurants. I hope this local trend starts catching on some more at home!

Love the list, Janet!

Curious about one thing though – dark vs light meat chicken? Just from a nutrition perspective, even though personally I don’t eat meat or poultry – what’s the reasoning for pushing the white meat “out”?

Thanks for a great post!

I am an advocate of portion control, but unless the restaurant industry makes a move to reduce portions and educates the consumer, we are looking at frozen meals for portion control, thus , portion control is not going to happen on a broad scale.

I love this list, it shows how our food trends have changed over the past few years and in my opinion more towards whole food again, I think this will be a good thing for all! Happy New Year!

Julie,
Thanks for visiting and your best wishes! The treadmills are trending out because dance classes like Zumba are trending in. Your comment made me realize that the way I had originally organized my article that it was hard to tell what was in vs. out for each specific trend, so I reworked the post to have them on the same line. So thanks for your question…I think this works better.
Best to you in the new year!
