Do you have studies you can cite to support your post?
FYI: Both my cardiologist and my dietician advocate cutting all fats for heart health. As for starches, even with diabetes, I can still have some carbs — just don’t overdo.
Please understand — I don’t want to get into an argument, but I have to be wary of health claims. There is an amazing amount of junk science out there and adhering to it could be fatal for me. So if you can give me links to some studies, I will ask the professionals about them.
I am something of a foodie, and I can taste cheap unhealthy ingredients. One of the reasons I've always gone to CFA is that I trust the food. It's not necessarily low-calorie, but it is wholesome.
Something I used to LOVE about Chick Fil A years ago when my kids were small--was when they changed out their children's toys. I was always alert for what they had that was new with their children's dinners.
For instance, while every other fast food "happy meal" had cheap and vulgar plastic toys, Chick Fil A would have a little story book with every children's meal. Or something as appealing to a child--never vulgar junk.
Your cardiologist advocates doing things that make him rich.
You have diabetes from using margarine, and polyunsaturated vegetable oils. They cause your cells to become water-proof, so the sugar can’t get into them to be burned.
Type 2 diabetes causes weight gain, which tends to discourage physical activity; a viscious circle.

P.S.
Junk science is exactly what your cardio and dietician are handing out; it makes them and big pharma astoundingly rich, while fulfilling the UN Agenda 21 call to kill off 2/3 of the world’s population.
