The government has meddled in many ways: Fat is bad for you. Cholesterol in food is bad for you. Eggs are bad for you. Oats are good for you. No eggs are not so bad. The benefits of oats are not that great. Butter is bad for you. Here eat some vegetable oil and margarine instead. Transfats are okay for you. Oops cholesterol in food has no impact on blood cholesterol. Transfats are very bad for you (sorry about that.) Now we know margarine is worse than butter. But really we don&#x27;t know which fats are bad for you. Or are carbs worse than fats? Who knows...<p>Really the government doesn&#x27;t know enough about nutritional science. Neither do the scientists it seems. Nor can we trust the companies. Not sure who to trust.
