All of it tastes likes cardboard. Because it's the latter that adds the calories and hence the body fat that really can kill him in a dozen different ways, from cancer to heart disease. Eating fatty foods in and of themselves won't even give him or anybody else colon cancer. Then two studies from the U.S. National Cancer Institute and the University of Arizona debunked the theory and left researchers stunned. As we've become addicted to low-fat foods in this country, we Americans have gained on average more than eight pounds per person in the last ten years.
American adults are fatter than ever, and getting fatter faster, and so are our kids.
And obesity really is a killer. Now look, I'm not suggesting that diets rich in saturated fats are good for the heart. But most fast-food restaurants that I know of do exactly that. Meanwhile, to choke down those tasteless fries you have to roll them in about three cups of salt. And boy, that's a healthy habit.
