    Born in '71 for context.

    Fat bad!

    Sugar fine, just don’t go nuts. Bad for your teeth.

    Had a hard time getting my head around the idea that some fats are not only OK, but necessary and good for you. The brain washing goes deep.

    Also, all y’all are fat as fuck. It’s truly freaky what we kids considered “fat” vs. what people today call “fat”.

    Pro tip: Exercise won’t drop pounds, but do it anyway! Also, it’s OK, even desirable, to be low-key hungry.

      I’m in your cohort.

      Every time I eat fatty meat, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna kill me. And part of me thinks it’s perfectly fine to throw back sugary drinks and treats.

      Those fuckers have a lot to answer for.

      Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.
