Keeping a food diary was incredibly edifying. I thing I learned is that everything I think of as fat-filled is even more fatacular than I ever imagined. This doesn’t mean that I’ve cut out fat altogether—that wouldn’t be good for the baby, anyway—but it does mean that I have to make choices

This article makes me want to go fry up some bacon.
 
The fear of fat, fat loathing, and fat obsession are relatively new things in human existence, spawned in the era of flat-chested flappers and the belt-tightening Depression. Good timing, that. Up until then, except for times of famine, a robust physique was indeed a thing of beauty, a paragon of luxury. Fat, before it was made sinister, was desirable. The once-positive aspects of fat linger in our language with phrases such as a fat check, fat cat, fat city, chewing the fat, killing the fatted calf, and the fat of the land.

Then we were told that fat was out of fashion and that eating fat made you fat. The food industry backed this claim with new products: reduced-fat, no-fat, fat-free. Everything fat-free came with a license to eat more and we did. And got fatter. By now we have been so long bombarded with fat-phobic fear mongering that much of it is considered accepted wisdom. But what do we really know about fat?


We know it is delicious.
