Years ago when I had my own health food grocery store I had lots of 
customers who, when discussing nutrition with the staff, would stare 
blankly at the mention of "good fats" for a moment and then blurt out 
something to the effect that they aren't stupid, they know there's no 
such thing as good fat.
I keep thinking the obsession a portion of the country has with dietary 
fat will subside but it's still going strong.
