Nonfat = nonpurpose

Sana and I were visiting some friends one time, and happened to see in their fridge a package of “nonfat yogurt”.

We decided to take a small taste – with our hosts’ permission of course – and quickly realized it was more than just “nonfat”. It was decidedly “nontaste” as well. And a quick glance at the ingredients and nutritional (or lack thereof) info on the side revealed the product is not only “nonfat”; it is truly “nonpurpose”.

It seems “fat” has taken on the role of the villain in modern society, and we’re not better off for it.

If we don’t look like we’ve got an eating disorder, something’s terribly wrong. Or at least we’re supposed to believe.

Truth is fat is actually quite good for us, both nutritionally and even socially. Now if we’re talking about the fat that comes from eating processed food, that’s problematic. No arguments there. But in something like natural yogurt, the villainous “fat” is just as natural as any of the ingredients.

So to say it’s “nonfat” doesn’t really do anything other than give a false sense of security to its unwitting victims who are duped into believing it’s part of their healthy lifestyle.

And socially, let’s be honest. A middle-aged person with a robust physique simply commands more respect in a room than a skinny person. And I’m referring to both genders here. Not a glutton mind you, but when someone has some “meat” on their bones, i.e. a little bit of fat, you know they’re eating well and overall it’s a sign of prosperity.

All that to say the content we create at JNS Media is not like the purported yogurt at our friends’ home.

It’s robust, full of flavor and meaning. Be it a podcast, an audiobook, a website, what have you.

And for the record, a website makes a great gift for someone high on your list of importance 😉
