You need fat in your diet; end of story. But you don't need tons of it and I think a lot of people go overboard when it comes to adding things like oils. I do eat liberal amounts of avocado though.. I'm obsessed with them!Kimhttp://www.lifeanalytical.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848451894875698661.post-40144774962007287682011-04-30T11:33:54.458-04:002011-04-30T11:33:54.458-04:00I pretty much agree with your sentiments!

As long as you're not suffering from chronic disease and/or you need to lose a bunch of weight, it doesn't make sense to me to limit (good) fat too excessively. <br /><br />That said, I agree with Lindsay completely about the fats in oil being basically empty calories, therefore making them a junk food. But for a healthy person, a little isn't much of a big deal, I think. It's like you said about the cupcakes! <br /><br />Thanks for this post and letting me ramble :)Allysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097190577011498780noreply@blogger.com
