Nothing wrong with NZ Lamb. I'm not saying that exercise isn't benificial though.
Also the connection between overweight and consuming lots of fats is also debateable. If you are currently overweight then I would argue that its got more to do with too many carbs/grains and refined oils in your diet and not NZ Lamb. The protective factors of saturated fat are greatest in those who grew up with them as it takes time to build a body.
I grew up on animal fats but like everyone else our family changed to low fat/artifical fat diets in my teens due to dietry dogma. I lost my health in my late teens, early 20's and I was very unhealthy for a number of years but 5 years ago I went back to a diet rich in animal fats and low in carbs and along with regular exercise my health has been steadily improving since. I hardly get sick at all now.\\
