Yep. But the post I was referring to talked about fat free gravy. No way to make a roux without fat.

The flavor from gravy comes from meat, whether it is from giblets, pan scrapings, pan drippings, etc. It's from beef, pork, lamb, poultry, wild game. There is no such thing as fat-free gravy, there will always be some fat in gravy. Real gravy is made from scratch & does not come from a jar, can or package. Extra fat, such as from butter, is not needed in gravy making. Extra fake meat flavor, such as boullion or beef or chicken broth from a can, is also not necessary & adds too much salt, which is unhealthy. Stick with basics. Try seasonings like Mrs. Dash. Use a little sauteed fresh garlic & onion in your basic broth.

I agree - let's get rid of every glaze, sauce, broth, and gravy.

To use the juices of the roasted meat?

But usually to covertly shorten the life span of your husband...or
to make him unattractive to other women?
Or to make your husband fat, lazy and tired so you
can stay up late and watch your own TV shows in peace?
