So he says in that story fat is needed in a diet, who said it's not?
Are you saying a person can't Get Enough Fat Eating a Plant-based Diet?
Fat is present in all fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods.
Strawberries are 5 percent fat; bell peppers, 6 percent; broccoli, 8 percent; spinach, 11 percent; and soybeans, 41 percent. Several high-fat plant foods contain in excess of 80 percent fat, including certain nuts and seeds, as well as avocados, olives, and coconuts. By eating a delicious, plant-happy diet, you will consume roughly 9 to 15 percent of your total calories from fat, which is ideal.
Getting your fat from plant-based foods means you will be consuming healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats as opposed to dangerous saturated fats. You will be able to eat more food than you ever dreamed of without gaining weight and feel wonderful!
Just a side note for you fight fans, Tim Bradly v Manny Pacquiao last night was won by a vegan!

That's very good information about fat. Sometimes I worry about not getting enough. But from now on, I don't think I will worry as much.
