So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

People seem to not understand that not everything is about calories. There’s a fuck ton of grease and fat in that food. You might not exactly gain a ton of weight but you’ll be coating your arteries with all of that fat. A little fat is good. We all need fat. But the amount of fat that is in fried and red meat is very high. Too high to be eating everyday even if you’re within calorie limits
McDonald’s isn’t actually super fatty or greasey. Fats are overly demonized, they don’t make you fat.
It’s ground beef. Of course it’s super fatty.
High fat is bad for you. Eating any thing high in fat will coat your arteries in fat if you’re eating it all of the time as every meal every day. Never once did I say it would make you fat. It will clog your arteries leading to congestive heart failure if it gets bad enough.
I’m not saying eat LOW fat. I’m not saying to cut out fat. But eating a very high fat content diet is terrible for you. Ask any doctor. You’d have to have absolutely zero health sense to think eating burgers every day with fries isn’t terrible for your health.
Clogging arteries is also about cholesterol, which is increasingly determined to be mostly genetic and dietary is secondary.
You can find nutrition studies to support or attack anything, it’s one of the worst sectors of science. The US is still recovering from the awful food pyramid paid for by grain farmers. Many cultural cuisines are loaded with fats, olive oil is in everything around the Mediterranean, France uses creams and butters, inuits live on almost exclusively protein and fat.
As long as you get around 25-50 grams in a day you should be fine, it will keep your hormones in check.
Being the same word confuses people and you can tell they have no idea how things work. They think the fat from food literally just passes right into your body parts and fat stores without being processed
Growing up in the 80s when everything went fat free was a nightmare and made everyone, ironically, get fat
I mean, they are the same word because they are the same thing: lipids.
However, the relation of fats to eachother inside a body as storage and outside as calorie intake ARE two different things.
