The question isn’t that difficult to answer. Over the last thirty years, food nutritionists and the food industry as a whole have embraced the idea of lowering our fat intake. And the government encouraged less egg consumption because of the cholesterol found in eggs.

However the truth is that fat is what gives many of our foods their delicious taste. When you remove the fat, the taste must be artificially injected into the food.

Be aware of all the wonderful labels displaying the claim of “fat free”, but neglect to mention the higher level of carbohydrates. Lowering fat in our food should have created a population of slim, trim, healthy people. Right?

The fact is that fat is the one of the essential nutrients that our body needs in order to function properly, is a necessary part of our metabolic processes. We need the fat in order to properly utilize many of the vitamins and nutrients we consume.

Low self-esteem, weight related health problems, and whole host of emotional problems are hitting these young generation to defenceless. How to help them to correct this problem becomes urgent.
