the fat in the fat that makes us fat(ter)

There is fat, and then there is fat.  We all know about the prevalence of good fat (think fish!), but this concept was completely ignored by Moss.  Moreover, as GWU biology professor Dr. Jones once told me, there are different triggers that indicate varying levels of fullness within the body.  One of these is fat.  With this knowledge in mind, some people attempt to trick their body and will put a pat of butter on their tongue before they eat, and they feel fuller faster.  An interesting trick with seemingly ominous results. 
However, the fat that Moss focuses on is the kind found in CheeseWhiz (but who trusts cheese in an aerosol can as nutritious?!) and Bologna (its perfectly circular meat, clearly not a natural state or shape!).  Clearly we accept too many foods we shouldn't and reject too many that we should - but not all fat is bad, and that's an important delineation!
