When I was an 8 year old boy, my mom used to tell me that if I ate the fatty part of my steak that I would grow breasts (I loved eating the fat, so I assume she was trying to scare me away from it). I thought the undigested piece of fat would travel right to the breast and get deposited under the skin. I was scared off for a while...I'm 28 now and I still eat the fat. No breasts yet....
