Any time you are adding nearly pure fat to refined carbs, you might just as
well resign yourself to seeing it on your ass one day. Or in a scan of your
arteries.

Having said that, I enjoy fatty meals on a regular basis, but they generally
have a lot better nutrition than alfredo. Every now and then I have pasta
with salt and pepper and parmesan and butter, and it's fine. I prefer fatty
dishes that at least have some redeeming nutritional value.
