Certain things are bad for certain body types. We should really work upon understanding the dietry needs for our bodies.

Most things aren't really bad for you in moderation. Butter certainly hasn't deserved the hate that it's gotten.

WHAT! Noooo. 

That's the best, yummiest part, jeeez. 

Also: LOL, dissonance is real

Had roast pork with my parents last week, turned out my dad had trimmed the pork fat and thrown it out instead of making it into crackling.

Reasoning: it is just fat and therefore it's bad for you. I tried to argue it was probably one of the healthier parts of the whole meal, but the fat was already in the bin.

Afterwards we had a choice of sugary desserts, manufactured on an assembly line. Supposedly they weren't bad enough to warrant being thrown out...

Nutritional studies are mostly garbage. This seems like another such garbage study.

Long-standing fears about fat’s impact on heart health seem to be dissipating: today, fat is in and it is carbohydrates, sugars and processed foods that are out.

...but most of the satured-fat fear is pretty outdated/debunked as far as I can tell?

those people who ate the most butter (averaging around one tablespoon per day) had a 15% increased risk of mortality compared with those who avoided the stuff. By contrast, people who consumed the most plant-based oils, such as canola, soyabean or olive oil—all of which have low levels of saturated fat—had a 16% lower mortality rate than those who consumed the least.

At the end they quote an epidemiologist objecting to an 

butter-eaters contained twice as many smokers

, for example, as the butter-avoiders. He argues it is not possible to fully control for such differences, which means some non-dietary factors could be at play.

Nah, I'm out: full butter nerd over here.

Also, here we go, _JAMA Internal Medicine_ long-run massive study:

By contrast, people who consumed the most plant-based oils, such as canola, soyabean or olive oil—all of which have low levels of saturated fat—had a 16% lower mortality rate than those who consumed the least.

At the end they quote an epidemiologist objecting to an _obvious_ problem with the study: 
> the voracious **butter-eaters contained twice as many smokers**, for example, as the butter-avoiders. He argues it is not possible to fully control for such differences, which means some non-dietary factors could be at play.

Like what... you do this _massive_, 33-year long study and _don't control for smoking_...? WTH. 

Nah, I'm out: full butter nerd over here.
