"They were still good, but pretty filling. Lot of fat."In the olden days, nutritionists knew that fat was an ESSENTIAL part of the diet, especially for soldiers and people who would need to endure. Nothing better for endurance than good old fat. Excellent choice.

Yes. Fat is the quickest way to get calories inside you: 9 calories/gm vs. 5 calories/gm for carbohydrates. Also needed for digestion of fat-soluble vitamins. Nevertheless, it fills you up fast, too.
