I'm really disappointed to see Oldways jumping on the coconut oil bandwagon and shunning dairy in the description. It wreaks of fad diets. And using "guilt" in reference to food promotes disordered eating.

Hi Erin. We agree that calling this recipe "guilt-free" as we did originally wasn't the best wording, and we've edited the intro text. However, our desire to share a creamy yet dairy-free recipe wasn't based on fad diets but on the fact that up to 75% of African Americans are lactose intolerant to some degree, so we try to make recipes connected to our African Heritage & Health program dairy-free whenever possible.

Coconut oil, coconut juice and coconut milk are three different things.

Wasn't what I expected. Kinda bland. I had to add my own flavor to it and it turned out great once I did.

I tired it. It came out wonderful. I had to add a smidgen of brown sugar to stave off the bitterness of the collards, but! I just finished a bowl snd I am HAPPILY satisfied. This will be on my Thanksgiving dinner menu.

Africans throughout the Diaspora have always included coconut products in their cooking. As a Jamaican, cooking with coconut is not a 'fad' to us. Promoting dairy free recipes demonstrates that dairy or no dairy is not a binary choice, but sometimes a matter of one's health.

Beautifully said! It is important to us to uplift the diversity of traditions that exist across the Diaspora.
