The way I read it, it's poking a hole in the "you are what you eat" adage that people take at face value for "if you eat fat you get fat".
By extension of this adage, then, if you eat fat you get fat. If you eat carbs you get starchy, and if you eat protein you get muscley. We know the second two aren't true, but the first one sticks for some reason.
