Low or full fat products?

[Anonymous]

Are you more likely to buy something if it says 'low fat' on it?

Low fat things are better for you but the sacrifice in taste is awful

Lowfat yoghurt's awful, so thin and crap

Low fat chocolate... HA, get it away from me

Butter or margarine... Got to be butter

In my eyes low fat alternatives just ruin the image of the full fat original. You shouldn't sacrifice the taste, sacrifice the quantity if you have to, enjoy in moderation.

Lowfat Philladelphia cheese tastes like arse, white creamy arse

Ben and Jerry's frozen yoghurt... nooooooo (except Cherry Garcia, tastes better than the icecream but this is the only exception)

'Diet coke' should be called 'Can of joke'

Low fat cheese... what?!?!

Here is the thing. If it is low fat, then there is loads of sugar in it. If it is low sugar then there is a chance that there is more fat in it esp Saturated fat and trans fat. Before you look at something that is low fat or fat free, read the ingredients there could be oils in there and they use the pretty label that says low fat or fat free knowing that people will not read the ingredients or read the ingredients and agree with them.

no- low fat actually isn't better for you a lot of the times, because it also contains a lot of other crap to make it taste better. and what a lot of people don't get is that fat itself isn't bad- it's overloading on bad fats and lack of exercise that's bad for you.

Full-fat meats. Low fat cheese, whole grain bread (and bread in moderation), butter, either diet soda or soda with legit sugar, and I don't worry about the rest.

I'm following a diet designed for people doing a lot of aerobic and resistance training. I feel cheated with low-fat meats, and white bread slows me down. I don't worry too much with artificial sweeteners, but I try to avoid HFCS in carbonated beverages.

I actually like light yogurt. Regular yogurt is too strong. However, just about anything else that's "light" tastes like absolute crap. Diet soda's aren't very good, and light butter or margarine is just plain nasty. But I think light Mayo might be the worst.

Full fat. Your body needs fats to run.

Besides, your body doesn't process fats into fats. Sugars get turned into fat.

Even if you eat all low fat stuff, it is just as unhealthy for you if eaten in excess as anything else.

I hate diet sodas. They're gross. I also hate margarine.

Low fat cheese tastes the same to me, so I'm happy with that. And personally, I like frozen yogurt better than ice cream anyway. I don't like hard ice cream as much as soft serve.

Low fat items sometimes have added ingrediants to them that can be more harmful than fat itself, so do your research.

I don't buy things that say low fat. The only diet thing I consume is diet green tea because it tastes better haha.

I love frozen yogurt...but artificial sweeteners can be gross

Low fat is always nasty and regular food is never called full fat
