need a bio-guy to back me up on this but . . .

the process of photosysthesis does produce glucose from water, CO2, and light. Sugar is the energy source for plants but it gets transformed into fatty oils for storage. In plants, fat is an oil not a solid (compare veggie oil to lard, bacon, or your gut . . .)
