Skimming the article, I get the impression that it's building a bit of a straw man. Sure, the emphasis on "fat-free" tends to make people fatter. I think that's been a stated concern of health professionals ever since marketers went wild with "fat-free." Every doctor I read in the newspaper or hear on radio has been saying, "forget about fat-free. It's bullshit." They even point out that certain vitamins are only soluble in fat, and so you need fat.
Sheez, Julia Child said the same thing.
Yeah, if you think carbs aren't harmful, and you cut out all fat, and you binge on Snackwells or whatever, you'll sure as hell gain weight. Nobody I ever heard of ever contested that.
So fat in itself isn't evil, and carbs in themselves aren't good. That was a concept that marketers (not science) successfully promoted, much to our detriment. But are we supposed to believe as a result that carbs are evil and fat (or animal protein or whatever the diet says) is inherently good?
Again, I would look at a healthy person and ask, what does that person eat, and how does that person exercise?
You pig fuckers.
