Don't you ever get tired of telling people this? I do. All this hand wringing and silly new diets and 'nutritionists' telling people to lower fat intake. If everyone cut down their carbs and fructose intake and stop worrying about eating fat, the problem would be solved. *sigh*

"and of course, obesity". Actually, no. fat does not make you fat, carbs do, so like any low-fat diet it would add to the obesity problem. eat no fat -> be hungry -> eat more carbs -> insulin spikes -> carbs convert to fat not sugar -> get hungry because you have no energy. so eat more bacon.
