- I've been reading lately about this theory that states that carbohydrates
- never get converted to fat, only fat gets converted to fat, or something
- to this effect. Sorry if I got it wrong.
-
- My question is this:
- What about all these fat cows that graze in pastures, subsisting exclusively
- on grass? Grass doesn't have any fat. Where is the fat in cows
- metabolized from?
-
- The same thing goes about sheep.
-
- If this has been covered recently, would someone please anyway send me a
- short e-mail explaining this, 'cause this has been bothering me lately.
-
- Thanx.
