Studies are out there that will tell you that fat is not the problem. The problem is inactivity and an unvaried diet. No thank you, more junk science. I'll save my money and spend it on something else.

One could always eat a smaller steak.
Or, I will offer to take your high-fat steaks (choice or prime grade) and trade them for leaner "Select" grade steaks of the same size and cut, on an equal pound-for-pound basis. (Same offer for side of beef, beef on the hoof, or futures.)
I'll do it for your health.

PS they allow no beef imports.Not any more. They used to, but restricted it after the scare a while back about American beef being infected with "mad cow disease."

I agree. I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I'm no Michael Moore by any stretch, perhaps I need to lose 25 pounds or so.
Anyway, my weakness is quantity, not quality. I've become accustomed to large portions.

Actually, to clarify my last post, I was saying that they don't allow much in the way of beef imports any more. There's been an upturn in domestic beef because of fears about American beef being infected with mad cow disease. I can't find the article because I can't access their site at the moment, but I do believe that I remember reading this on www.japantoday.com a while back.

Great. Another gimmick.
It would be simplest if people just stopped stuffing their faces and get off the couch already.
(What's next from Japan--a teflon coated couch so one does not need to be surgically separated from it like that women last week?)

I know what's next:
Japanese researcher at Ding Bat Industries, invents the stomach belt.
The belt, constructed of a material similar to that used in bullet resistant vests, is worn tightly around the midsection.
It thereby compresses one's stomach against one's backbone, leaving less room for the stomach to expand, giving the wearer an early feeling of a full stomach.
The devices inventor, Dr. Hu Tufat, was inspired to invent the device when his morbidly obese great aunt, Aunt Mee Tufat-Tu, was considering stomach stapling.
Being diabetic from her obesity, the operation would have been dangerous!
Dr. Tufat then realized if he could find a way to reduce the capacity of her stomach without an actual operation, he might save her life.
Dr. Tufat says his device if worn according to instructions, poses no harm to the user.
The device does have a cautionary label, advising the user to wear it only during meals, lest circulation be cut-off, resulting in amputation of the lower half of one's body . . . .

Eating a diet containing a moderate amount of fat does not necessarily cause obesity. Eating a diet heavy on carbohydrates like the USDA "pyramid" can contribute to obesity by causing fluctuations in blood sugar.
When I cut my carb intake eight months ago, I lost 30 lbs in 6 months. That's after losing 115lbs last year...but that was the ex-wife.

"PS they allow no beef imports."
The only thing that stopped is American beef imports. They have imported beef from Australia for many years. Kobe beef is extremely expensive and is not what you see in the supermarket, it is typically reserved for expensive restaurants.
