Pretty?

Deadly?
Well, maybe a bit of both.
This is adipose tissue, composed of fat cells.
We are born with our full complement of these cells, and they have some really important uses--as a back up source of carbon energy for the Krebs cycle,  as padding and protection for organs, as a source of structural components, partcualrly for  But when they get BIGGER, we get fatter. Latest data suggests that by 2040 42% of Americans will be obese. There are no "fat-burning foods", no magic "eat all you want and lose weight" diets--just calorie restriction and/or increased calorie expenditure. We want it easy, and it is, at least, simple. 
Push away from the table sooner, eat ONE portion (NORMAL sized), only eat when you are hungry--there are many USEFUL tips to help you restrict calories. But in the end it's the only way!
