So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

He’s not all that special or unhealthy. 2 big macs is about 1k calories, if you get them as two meals with coke it’s about 2k calories. If that’s your food for the day it’s perfectly fine for a moderately active person. The sodium is probably the most dangerous part and just drinking more water would likely keep that in check as well.

McDonald’s isn’t actually super fatty or greasey. Fats are overly demonized, they don’t make you fat.

Clogging arteries is also about cholesterol, which is increasingly determined to be mostly genetic and dietary is secondary.
You can find nutrition studies to support or attack anything, it’s one of the worst sectors of science. The US is still recovering from the awful food pyramid paid for by grain farmers. Many cultural cuisines are loaded with fats, olive oil is in everything around the Mediterranean, France uses creams and butters, inuits live on almost exclusively protein and fat.
As long as you get around 25-50 grams in a day you should be fine, it will keep your hormones in check.
Being the same word confuses people and you can tell they have no idea how things work. They think the fat from food literally just passes right into your body parts and fat stores without being processed
Growing up in the 80s when everything went fat free was a nightmare and made everyone, ironically, get fat
I mean, they are the same word because they are the same thing: lipids.
However, the relation of fats to eachother inside a body as storage and outside as calorie intake ARE two different things.
Sodium isn’t even dangerous unless you are taking in an absolutely abhorrant excess of it. Everyone should be getting 5 grams a day, and a couple grams more will not cause any harm except for the extreme saltiness when you next sweat.
