Pretty much. I'm certainly not claiming that I should win the Nutrition 
Cup-- I like cheese pies and candied quinces as well as the next person, 
and rich treats are important in every kind of medieval and renaissance 
cuisine.  I just think that *most* of the meal should be reasonably 
healthy and balanced, that there should be enough variety to allow some 
choice, and that the rich treats are best enjoyed in smaller quantities.
