But then it's called "vegetable" I thought vegetables don't have fat. So are we saying that if I eat lettuce salad I will get fat, be fat? I thought those dieters eat vegetables to get skinny because it doesn't have fat. But then what is fat and what is oil? I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo confused and it hurts just by questioning this since I was a child !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because vegetables have fat too. Vegetable oils are more unsaturated fat, and animal fats are more saturated fat (coconut oil is one of the exceptions, it has more saturated fat than anything else).

Some plants have fat in them, for example avocado and all types of nuts. In general, vegetable fat is a lot healthier than animal fat (such as you'd find in meat, milk, butter, cheese), and vegetables are generally very low in fat compared to animal foodstuff. So if you stick to eating just vegetables, you're basically staying very healthy!
