She was into good tasting food and great cuisine - she was also into
the best, freshest ingredients to be found - that doesn't negate using
organic food, but I never read that she went out specifically looking
for it. As to healthful, she advocated dishes that tasted good and
full flavor profiles - if they included butter and cream, then she
often said to just have small portions.
Nothing like butter or cream is inherently BAD for you; it's only bad
if you indulge in too much of them.
I don't think she would have given anything from KFC the time of day,
because she could make it taste so much better.
