I'm doing my part, I avoid everything with "low fat", "lite" or "diet" on the label.

OMFG THANK YOU! I’ve been beating this drum for over ten years!

Go to any grocer and grab a bottle of fat-free ranch and a bottle of regular ranch. Turn over to the dietary labels. Ignore the fat and look at the sugar content. ANY food without fat is virtually flavorless sans spicing. To replace/supplement flavor, they have to use an agent such as sugar to impart flavor.

Mark my words in this thread on this day: a MAJORITY of findings during the fat-free craze of the 80s will be found to be wholly and completely false over the next decade. SUGAR is the reason we are, as a society, getting so fat.

If you have to look for a XXXX-Free food, look for sugar- free. You’d be better off. Fat imparts flavor, it is a vital nutrient for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals, and it is the biggest component to feelings of satiety during a meal.

I do too as most of it tastes terrible and after several years we find out it is worse for us than the real thing.
