<p>I'm currently watching "The Men Who Made Us Fat" (BBC2) with my mum and it suddenly struck me how these "fatty, sugary foods" are all called "fattening".</p> <p>Undoubtedly within the human brain (for most people, who don't know the facts) this strengthens the association of "fat makes you fat", so why don't/hasn't we/somebody try rebranding edible fat?</p> <p>Much like molten rock <em>under</em> the earth's surface is magma, and <em>above</em> the surface is lava?</p>

<p>Yea I watched that, so frustrating. I know how to cure the obesity epidemic, make all the food zero sugar and high fat and stop lying to everyone!!</p>

<p>Someone on here once suggested lipid. I personally like blobby, or blob for body fat and this is how I refer to mine. :-)</p>

<p>Exactly as I said in the former post on this, "the 2 words make me think eating fat will make me fat. So instead, I like to now call dietary "goodness"... yum!" </p>

<p>No -- Renaming/ Re-branding is not the answer. Education is the answer. What we need to do is educate people that the fat we eat is not necessarily the fat we store. </p>

<p>I recommend we call eating fat "being awesome."</p> <p>I eat awesome, like, three times a day.</p> <p>I got in shape by eating awesome.</p> <p>MMmmm, this bacon is full of awesome.</p> <p>Man, pass me some of that awesome filled avocado</p> <p>Then we can call fat on your body, shit.</p> <p>I have a lot of shit I need to get rid of.</p>

<p>Mafuta - Swahili for fat</p> <p>Mast - Croation for fat</p> <p>Tuk - Czech for fat</p> <p>Rasva - Finnish for fat</p> <p>Mact - Serbian for fat</p> <p>Mafuta sounds good. "I'm going to have a steak with extra mafuta for supper." I like it.</p>
