[QUOTE="Dominy, post: 2310771, member: 530849"] Because fat (in moderation) is not the enemy. Sugar is. Way back when low fat foods were first introduced, they were loaded with sugar and salt to make them palatable. People got so hung up on the notion of any fat being bad for you, that we overlooked the sugar content. There are some really good sugar vs fat documentaries online. Also interesting that people in the 60s and 70's ate far more fat than we do now, but nowhere near as much sugar (because its in EVERYTHING) and yet there were far fewer obese people or people with diabetics. Our love of sugar and carbohydrates is to blame for this - masses of energy but little nutritional density. [/QUOTE]
