Many of the obese people out there eat things that are not healthy
because those items are filling and less expensive. That includes
potatoes (your example) and other stuff like mac 'n cheese, etc. Many
of these people (not all) have no choice about what kind of food
budget they have.

I don't know if you're right or not; I know your statement is the
premise of one of the most recent fad diets.

I DO know that eating fat isn't good for anyone's arteries or heart
health, and I'll never be convinced that fat intake doesn't contribute
to obesity.
