“The best way I’ve found to cook pork chops.” Here is the best way: substitute lamb or beef for your recipes. I had a friend that recently passed. Her advice was stay away from pork. She was raised on an Iowa farm that sold beef and pork. Her family sold the good meat—beef—and kept the other meat for themselves, which was pork. She eventually had open heart heart surgery for her clogged veins, taking a few veins from her leg for the surgery. Hey, eat what you want, but I never touch pork. Send it to the Palestinians.

It wasn’t any animal fat that clogged her arteries. Animal fats and organ meat were once considered the prime cuts. Our obesity crisis didn’t arise from consuming fatty pork or beef; it’s easily correlated to the advent of the modern low-fat diet.

All cultures with notable longevity have diets high in fat. Fat is essential to health—carbs are detrimental to health. The combination of carbohydrates and fat ensures the excess carbohydrates turn to body fat. Carbohydrates are the culprit. Despite the caloric density of fat, Americans regularly consume the majority of their calories from carbohydrates. Add in modern “processing” that extracts essential nutrients, and it’s no wonder we have so many sick, obese people.
