As a fat kid, let me tell you what I liked to eat. Fast food,
toast and margerine, soda, sandwiches with heavy mayo, mashed potatoes,
candy, grilled-cheese sandwhiches. Meat lover's pizza. Well-done steak.
Cheeseburgers with bacon. Chocolate and milk.
Yes, it was high in fat. Higher in fat than what I'm eating now,
I would bet. THe problem really is fat laced with sugar (cookies, cake,
brownies and other goodies I loved to eat, including the dreaded fried
carbs like french fires and the like). No one is arguing against that (I
hope). The problem I have with the misinformation^H^H^Hstudy is that it
doesn't take into effect the fact that it is sugar laced with fat, not fat
alone, that is making these kids fat. If it was a study of three
different kinds of pemmican-only diets, that would be different. But it's
not.
