It's not the fat, it's the carbs that make you fat.

To top it off, a low fat diet actually makes you eat more. Fat trips some switches in your brain when you eat it. You feel fuller and more satisfied. Without it not only do you keep eating beyond where you would have before, the exagerrated insulin reaction that the high-carb meal induces is what makes you crave more carbs 2 hours later.

Saturated fats have their own health risks, but their contribution of obesity is small compared to carbohydrates.

Exactly what I'm saying. I agree that each individual must take responsibility for what they eat, and for their health in general.

McDonalds makes the claim that the necessary info to make wise health decisions about their products is posted visibly in each restaurant, but they don't mention the steroids in the meat. Steroids given to the cattle to make them grow fat, fast. Which Clinton then eats in the form of a Big Mac or three.

But, one thing's for sure... Those fattys who are suing probably will crush under the pressure in the courtroom during the cross-examination.

"And please inform the jury how many times a week you excercise."

Heh!
