Saturated fats are most commonly found in things like butter, full-fat dairy products, and red meats... so a person could, for example, use margarine instead of butter on their morning toast, drink 1% milk, and opt for a 6oz steak instead of a 12oz steak. You'll obviously still eat some saturated fats - if you eat a cookie that contains lard, for example, or if you put cream in your coffee - but, overall, limiting the intake of saturated fats is a good idea, don't you think?

Anyway, I assume you aren't suggesting that saturated fats are a good thing? The human body can manufacture all the saturated fat it needs by itself. Saturated fats can contribute to various cardiovascular diseases, so I certainly wouldn't seek them out as part of your daily diet.

As the age-old adage goes, "everything in moderation"...
Holy Fuck you're a moron
