In my opinion that statement is inaccurate. As far as I know, it makes a big difference what kind of fats and from what sources.

That's correct. Fat is a problem when the source of fat is an animal that has been fed grains (especially corn). The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio becomes skewed in favor of omega 6 fats and fats with excess omega 6 fats have been shown to cause heart disease, cancer, type II diabetes. However, a diet high in omega 3 fats has been shown to reverse all those diseases. Compare wild salmon to farmed salmon that has been fed corn. Fat from the wild salmon has been proven to improve your health, fat from the farmed salmon has been proven to damage your health.
A healthy, fit human will get most of their ATP from fat metabolism.
There's literally tons of studies to support these statements. Just hit google and put aside the afternoon to read and learn.
