You appear to be an expert, but all I can do is tell you what works for me. I haven't had a bit of animal fat in years, and I feel great.No dietary cholesterol at all. I'm finally thin as a rail and getting ripped at the gym. Previously, I had to starve to stay thin, but this is way better. All my fat calories comes exclusively from olives, avacadoes, nuts, seeds etc. I keep all oil consumption to the barest minimum, avoiding it totally, if possible. I'm not about to change.

I didn't say you had to have animal fat. Your body does need fat. If you don't get enough in the diet, it will make it. Well, except for the essential fatty acids that have to come from the diet.
