So, me putting butter on my oatmeal is not gross and decadent, but actually the new health food craze?

I make steel cut oats in the pressure cooker; you need to put some fat in there to stop it bubbling while it's cooking, so butter has a physical purpose there too. And also tastes delicious.
For those who haven't done much cooking - this bubble-busting trick works in a wide variety of situations. Very useful.
Some proteins seem to have a similar effect - but I haven't tried to narrow that down, and don't know the food science behind it.
Is this why my grandma put oil in the pasta pot?

try sardines
Nuts are also an option.
Presumably you'd want something like olive or avocado oil with less saturated fat.
