Is eating "fat" still considered to be bad for you?

I don’t watch my fat intake at all.
I don’t eat much in the way of greasy or fried foods, so that isn’t something that I have to watch. However, I eat plenty of nuts and oils and dairy products. I also eat eggs and other foods that are high in cholesterol, although my cholesterol readings are always excellent. High cholesterol beginning at a very young age runs rampant in my family, much younger than I am, but my readings have never been short of great.

I thought the whole low-fat thing was decided to be overrated and unnecessary?

How the heck are we supposed to keep up with the messages about what is healthy and what isn’t if they keep changing the story??
