High fat diets in children - this is really misleading

There was a news story this morning about how high fat diets in children may lead to addiction later on in life

Unfortunately, it was diets high in fat that were also high in processed and junk foods. I’m sure there are going to be people who latch on to the high fat aspect and won’t realize that it is probably the carbs and sugar that are causing these issues.
