It's interesting to see people go on a high carb diet & exclude the Fat content in their food. I ask them "Hey what you drinking there?" Their very stupid sugar high response "Pepsi, it's got no fat." That pretty much sums up peoples understanding of low fat diets. They think as long as it doesn't have fat they can drink or eat it, I know sounds absurd and it is. But that's how stupid some people are.

What's more, pretty much everything labeled in the supermarket as "low fat" or "reduced fat" is not good for you to eat in the first place. And yet, people eat more of it, thinking that be eating "low fat" products, they are eating healthier.

You can tell a lot about a person by what is in their supermarket. Recently I had in front of me in line an obese housewife with two whining and fussing kids tugging at her. Her cart was overflowing with stuff like Hershey's chocolate milk syrup, Oreo Cookies, Cheese Curls, Doritos, pastries, snack food cakes and tons and tons of soda. Apparently her idea of home-cooking was Elio's Frozen Pizza and Kraft Macaroni-and-Cheese. Yes, she paid with food stamps.
