Traditional diets vary with availability of local resources, such as fish in coastal towns, eels and eggs in estuary settlements, or squash, corn and beans in farming towns, as well as with cultural and religious customs and taboos. In some cases, the crops and domestic animals that characterize a traditional diet have been replaced by modern high-yield crops, and are no longer available.[2] The slow food movement attempts to counter this trend and to preserve traditional diets.

I'm not surprised that food items that are labeled 'low fat' are not in fact low in fat. That is mostly a selling gimmick. The only items that I believe are low in fat are athletic health bars or items that you cook yourself so that you know what exactly is going into your food. That's my two cents for the day.
