We're constantly hearing how fats are bad for us and we should eat a low fat diet. The article is overstating that fact. A better statement should say that the overeating of fats is bad for us. Eating NO fats would certainly be bad for people. Everything has to be eaten in moderation.

Do you have evidence to support this claim?
There are some essential fatty acids that the body can't make but needs. So, no fats is a problem.

I was referring to the "fats are bad for us" part.
