That reminds me of one of the first reports in the popular press about
how fats may not be the enemy. It was written by a guy named Gary
Taubes, for the NYT Sunday magazine. The cover image was of a large
t-bone steak, with a pat of butter melting on top. This was about a
dozen years ago.

It caused a huge outcry, not the least from one of the NYT food editors,
who blasted the article and the author as being completely
irresponsible, and perhaps even criminal, for even suggesting that fat
might not be a problem. My, how times have changed.
