I think most people eat what tastes good to them.... regardless of the consequences. They treat food as entertainment, not fuel. Nothing wrong with that on occasion, but 3 times a day will kill you. Concur. For people who want to do better, it's a crying shame when the government steers them in the wrong direction. You may recall when McDonald's cooked its fries in beef tallow. They and the rest were pressured by both the experts and government until they started using poly-unsaturated oils, which turn into trans fats, which are killers. Meanwhile saturated fat has been rehabilitated as a fuel source. Now food producers have had to get rid of the trans fats but still can't use saturated fats because their demonization remains an urban legend. That's a lot of the reason I don't trust the government on prevention. I LOVE carbs Natural human reaction. Add some fat to the carbs, even better. Krispy Kreme sure knew it. (Company should be tried for manslaughter. :/) FYI, there are studies out recently demonstrating that the value exercise in weight management has been seriously over-rated. That has been shown to be another of those urban legends. Exercise is still important for fitness but not for weight control.
