Talk to me about fats ...

Hey guys,

Can you tell me why fats are important in your diet?
Which type of fats should you consume?
Which type of fats should you avoid?

Just trying to get some information, Thanks ...

At the risk of spoiling a near perfect answer (thanks ChickD) I'll just add that you cannot properly function without fat. It is an essential part of your diet.

The choice of the type of fat is almost as important if not more important than the total amount.
