In terms of percentages of fats this is very much dependent upon the goal of the trainer but usually fats should be around 30% of your caloric intake.

Those who have high fat diets, usually are not heavily muscled (large bodybuilders etc), although such diets are good to help you get shreaded.

true, but there are other types of fat you can reduce without trying to keep saturates at a minimum
