Fats and oils aren't bad for you, that's prapaganda pushed by the sugar industry for decades.
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat
Eat whatever food you like that makes you feel good after you've finished eating, your body knows what's good for it for the most part.
Edit: I think this comment section is pretty good evidence for how well it worked. Loads of people reflexively scoffing at the idea that fat might not be bad for you but no clear arguments as to why.
Everything is bad in excessive, especially oils and fats given their high calory content. Sugar may be ""worse"", doesn't mean fats are good
Everyone needs calories, if you don't get them from fats and oils, you're left with carbs and sugars, both of which have a higher glycemic index.
So yes, it does mean fats are good, because you need energy to live. If you want to tell me there's some other form of energy that you know about that's better than any of those three, please let me know.
Until then, perhaps you could show me the science that proves how bad fats supposedly are.
That's not what I'm saying, a healthy diet consists of different sources of calories. There's no "better source than others", you need all in different quantities. Some are worse in excess, but you still need all for a balanced nutrition.
Then I don't know what you're disagreeing with in my first comment, since you agree that fats aren't actually bad.
In fact, since you've said that you need "all" for a balanced diet, it seems like you agree that fats actually are "good".
