"good" fats vs "bad" fats

Why is the recommended amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats listed at 0 when I look at the nutrition for my diary entries, but the saturated fat amount is not 0. I thought saturated fats were supposed to be bad and mono/polyunsaturated fats were good, or at least less bad.
Just curiosity really. I eat a fairly good mix of the above. I just wondered what the reasoning was.

Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated are listed as 0 because there is no limit recommended for them. They're just there so you can track them.
The saturated fat is based on the highest recommended.0 -
Thanks for the clarification.0

You can change the default limits in your goals if you don't like seeing healthy fat consumption in the red.0
