It's generally not the fat in tofu that makes people fat. I believe that at least 60% of people in the U.S. are overweight because of too many carbs. "Fat Free" foods are just one of the scams by big grain.

Even my bacteria are fat.

A long time ago I participated in a Biggest Loser contest at our office. One of the things I learned is that "Fat Free" does not mean fat free. It means the percentage is low enough that the government allows them to call it fat free.

Question: What Does Fat Free Really Mean?
When a product is labeled fat free, does this mean there is literally no fat in it at all?
Answer: Actually, no. For a product to be fat free, it must contain less than 0.5g of fat per serving. This is all very well if we eat the stated serving size of that food, say one cookie. But if we consume more than a serving of that food, it ceases to be fat free. All those fractions of a gram will count towards your daily fat intake. One final word of caution: what some fat-free products lack in fat, they make up for in sugars. Remember, fat free doesn’t mean calorie free. wrote:

They need to close down their site then.

I gained 60 lbs eating "low fat food" until I realized that it was the carbs that was causing me to gain weight. Low Fat is a scam. It means high sugar, which is what has caused "30% Fat." It is a red herring by Big Grain.
