Ode to Fats

Fats, oh fats... for so long I've been told that you were bad for me.
"They make you slow, groggy, cranky, and, well...fat.
Of all the food groups, fats are the greatest nutrition atrocity.
Heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer... fats cause all that.

Eat no fats and you'll be thin and disease-free.
Eat no fats and your stomach will be flat.
Eat no fats to be the very best that you can be.
Low-fat or no-fat foods are best. Lean protein and carbs are where it's at!"

But, now I'm told that fats are good, actually.
I've been lied to and used by the sugar conglomerate...
As fats provide a better and more sustainable source of energy.
So kick those carbs and give fats a try... you'll get tit for your tat.

Eat lots of avocado, olives, coconut, ground beef, and ghee.
Eat lots of these to become as fast and nimble as a cat.
Eat lots of fat, and sugar highs and lows you will no longer see
and you'll say good-bye to mood swings and other behaviors of a brat!

After dismissing carbs and embracing fats, ne'er the same will I be.
Pastas and bagels and breads are old hat
For fats and exercise go together oh so well, you see
Making me fuller, faster, and fitter - now how about that!
