Saturated fat in meat

November 4, 2010 7:42pm CST
Why do we have the idea that meat is full of saturated fat?In a 100g pork chop,there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat. Fat is essential for every cellin the body. I think it's man made fats we should be demonising. What do you think?

Doctors and dietitians never agree on the whole good bad thing. Now I find out peanut oil is good, it used to be bad. I got hooked up with the American Dietitian Web Site and it's so convoluted I gave up! Even eggs! Now it's supposedly good to eat two to three eggs a week, even diabetics! So I can eat 4 deviled eggs a week during the holidays! Yea.
