A steak has roughly 21g of sat fat per serving, though. So you'd have to eat 7 bags of Doritos to eat the equivalent of a steak.

My point is not that Doritos aren't bad for you but that saturated fat isn't the reason they're bad

Yes. But they aren't good for you either. They're digestive spam. And as a result the body will continue to seek the nutrition it needs. Feed it more unnecessary calories and it will keep looking.

Eventually, "you are what you eat" catches up to you.

No disagreement here. As I said, it's not that they aren't bad, it's that saturated fat isn't the reason they're bad. I'm with you that doritos should be nixed from any person's regular diet

I'm more fearful of sugar and simple carbs than sat fats.

So.. how much is a serving? Wherever I eat steaks that seems to vary wildly. In any case the variation is too big to warrant giving such a precise number (21 grams) for the amount of fat.
