This Leon Hale column originally appeared in the Houston Chronicle on Aug. 30, 1988.

A while back I said here that I have stopped eating chili because it's got too much fat in it. Like a multitude of folks about my age, I am on a low-fat diet. This is supposed to help me become a very old citizen, and I have developed a genuine interest in that goal.

She adapted her recipe from a Two-Alarm Chili Mix package, and that's the mix I used years ago when I was fixing chili practically every time I got hungry. The main substitution is two pounds of raw turkey instead of beef. You are talking, for example, to one of the planet's worst ice cream freaks. Used to be that every night before I went to sleep, I prayed that I survive until daylight so I could eat ice cream again. I offered up thanks for the cows that ate the grass and gave the milk and the cream. I was grateful for the hens that laid the eggs to blend with the milk and the cream and the sugar and the vanilla.

So that's why I don't have any trouble with turkey chili. I'm like a guy in the desert and he hasn't had a drink of water for three days. When you hand your canteen to him, he's not going to ask you where the water came from, or whether it's cool, or sweet. He's simply going to be grateful for anything wet.

One of the ironies of eating is that so much of what tastes good is bad for us because it's full of fat. Some meat sold as lean beef is pretty fatty.
