Yes, plain and simple. Everyone knows this.
Now, I can't wait to hear from the PC crowd and those who select clothes from the "Hindenburg" size rack. lol

Well if you are talking about dietary fats they are in the form of a fatty acid. The tail of the fatty acid is indeed non-polar. The head or the acid end is indeed polar.

DEFINITELY YES all lipids in general, do not dissociate in ions, that is, once the fat is placed in pure water, do not form ionic particles with either positive or negative charge.....(they dont ionize)
That is why lipids or fats, are not polar.....
