Well I also have a problem with the continued bashing of fat. They always call Atkins a "high protein" diet, but Atkins called his diet a high fat diet. In fact he dared people to be "unashamedly unafraid of fat".

Turns out all those antioxidant vitamins people thought they were getting from vegetables are mostly "fat soluable" no fat, no vitamins.

And they've preached fiber to us both as a filler and to promote regularity. I've read that vegan teenagers are 8 times more likely to need laxatives. And I've seen one report that said some fibers promote colon cancer.

I'm "unashamedly unafraid of fat." I'm rationally exuberant about it. For many people it's like PT: "Good for you - good for me."
