Fat is bad...but is it?

Did you ever notice that all the yummy things in life are full of fat...ice cream, lobster drenched in butter, scrumptious pumpkin pie with a crust made with lard, donuts fried in oil, potato chips...Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat.

Fat is bad so they say and yet my Chinese aunt with the porcelain complexion swore that eating kau yuk (seasoned fat) was the key to beautiful skin.

Fat is bad so they say and yet scientists say that fat feeds the brain.

Fat is good in moderation...when the food is savored...when there is a special occasion.

Fat is 8, the sign of good luck.

Perhaps there is hope for fat.

Food for thought

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. (Read this somewhere)

Why is it that there are people who exercise a lot who still die of heart attacks?

Why is it that there are vegetarians who are fat?

Why is it that an unhealthy, fast food diet is so much cheaper than a diet filled with fruits and vegetables?

Why is it that it costs so much for fish when we live on an island?

Why is it that there are rich people who are so unhappy?

Why is it that there are poor people who are so happy?

Life is indeed a quandary.
