I get a kick out of people ordering a donut and low fat milk. I wonder if anyone ever ordered bacon and Egg Beaters. If I witnessed that I would probably choke to death from laughter.

But, it gets worse. In the South they like to put "fat back" in the collard greens. If that isn't the perfect dichotomy, I don't know what is.

There is so much oil and fat in your digestive tract that you can't absorb the nutrients from the greens.

So, it all just slides right on out.

Of course they don't sell any 32" waist pants down there either. Or 34.
Why? I do that all the time. It's called picking and choosing what I want to spend my calories on. I might eat a steak and veggies but ignore the potatoes and get a slice of pie for dessert instead. Or drink iced tea instead of a milkshake and get some onion rings, etc.

Fat is an essential nutrient. As long as you are aware that it's twice as calorie dense as carbs or protein and adjust accordingly you are golden.

Interesting how Americans got fatter so much quicker once the gummint started forcing low-fat and high starch food on us with their BS food pyramids.

I'm not in my best shape right now and could use some more exercise, but this southern boy's Levi 501's are 32x32, what are yours?
