content: I seriously think the food the government pushes on us is filled with fat intentionally.  Fat isn't the problem. You can eat fat and not get fat. Look into the ketogenic diet if you don't believe me. It's that the diet preached by the authorities for decades is a bad diet that does the opposite of what is intended, and increases body fat. It has too much starch, too many carbs. Also, artificial sweeteners, which are supposed to reduce fat, actually increase it, by making the body crave more real sugar. Also, artificial additives in foods trick the body into thinking it is getting something it is not, and the body reacts by ... you guessed it ... increasing caloric intake and generating more fat.
