Hi, I have a question.
The plural of fat is fats.
Why is this correct then?

Shouldn't it be:
Not all fats are bad.
Thanks

Not all fat is bad. / Not all fats are bad.
In effect these both say the same thing. I suppose the writer was referring to different kinds of fat. I would have used the second of these if I had written it, but the first is also possible.
