I agree with you..........and the conspiracy is that a lawyer for George McGovern, an animal rights, anti-meat individual pushed the pyramid until it became government-backed. There is not one scientific study that backs it up. It is ingestion of carbs and resultant insulin-resistance that causes cholesterol problems. Fat does not make fat.

Fat does not make fat.

Then why is Memphis the fattest city in the US? They deep-fry everything there.

Thanks for the info. See, it IS a conspiracy.

Those vegans are trying to kill us all.

Fat does not make fat.

Nice try. Bodies make fat from unused energy. If you have an overabundance of energy (i.e. food) your body will try to store the excess.
Regardless of what you may have read, your body doesn't ask if you only ate carbs or fats or proteins.
Caloric surplus => fat production.
Caloric deficit => fat burning.

It's really that simple.
