In a nutshell, here's how I view the fat/low-fat situation:

1. A sweet, invitingly desirable, outrageously wonderful soft and gooily gobbed, frosted pink cookie contains 22 FAT GRAMS.2. A soft, chewy, crusty Brackman's bagel contains 1 FAT GRAM.

3. Recently, a newly fat-conscious Deseret News reporter stopped eating her daily pink cookie for 14 days and lost 5 pounds.

4. That's wonderful.
