Fats weren't regarded as especially fattening until the sugar industry really got busy blackening their name so that the sugar producers could dodge responsibility for the problems they cause - and that wasn't until the '60s if I recall correctly. Certainly in Agatha Christie books written in the Thirties and Forties someone who was dieting would eat any amount of bacon and the like but would scrape the Hundreds and Thousands off the cream topping of their trifle.
I'm struggling with this because I only ever watched one episode of Torchwood - because someone had done a Torchwood video to Thea Gilmore's wonderful cover of 'Ever Fallen In Love', and made it look much more interesting than it proved to be in actuality - and so I'm finding it very hard to understand what's going on. Someone seems to be wiping Susan's mind - and that makes them Evil with a capital E in my view.
