Because people think fat in nutrition = fat in the body. And looking at the amount of low-fat products on the shelves, people just don't care enough to work out the difference themselves.

Not to mention the government and most nutritionists have lied about cholesterol and saturated fat for what, like 40 years now?

Not an easy task when the medical profession and governments have said that fat in nutrition == fat in the body for decades.

With this kind of "science" in our history it isn't surprising that many don't believe today's climate scientists.
