Quote, Paraphase, and Citation #2

“The body also uses fat as fuel. If fats that a person has eaten aren't burned as energy or used as building blocks, they are stored by the body in fat cells.”

In this quote from Teen Health, they are trying to say that you need fat because it is used as fuel and if it is not burned it is stored for long term use. The problem is if you eat fatty foods and never burn them off the fat builds up in your fat cells and begins to cause problems. Fat grams can be an enemy in fighting obesity only if you let it be. This relates to my topic because it shows that fat grams can be part of the problem in fighting obesity when the person is not exercising.
