My favorite one is they told us all those years that saturated fat was bad for you, and it turns out there’s not one shred of evidence that it’s true.

All those heart-healthy cooking oils in the grocery store aisle are snake oil.

Regardless, olive oil is still the best tasting oil. I use it all the time, for everything.

Lard, bacon grease and beef tallow clean off the stove with a little soap and hot water. that vegetable crap bonds to the finish like a coat of epoxy and requires vigorous scrubbing. I can just imagine that in my system.

Yup.

What is natural is designed to work in you.

Animal proteins and fats basically make you healthy because so much structure and chemicals needed to be healthy derive from them. Not that plants dont have essentials, just not as a primary source.

Cspi was the group that went after animal fats. They are a known vegetarian group masquerading as a science group.

A very young co-worker of mine is a third generation vegetarian. She is tiny, weak and has a bad complexion-spends a fortune on supplements and treatments from the chiropractor. Another coworker and I are ready to force feed her some meat. She and her mother have been vegetarians from birth. It just can’t be healthy.

I save all my bacon fat and use that or butter when I sauté. Nothing in nature uses vegetable oils - it’s like an artificial food. Animal fat, including milk fat, is something our bodies know how to digest.

Dr. William Campbell Douglass tried to tell people that for
years. He said eat that meat, eat that saturated fat; they
are good for you! - He died last year, IN HIS 90th YEAR OF
LIFE; so maybe he wasn’t the “quack” all the veggie pushing
“experts” out there accused him of being. - We took his
newsletter for a long time & I always found him to be
pretty common sense. Thought he was about 65. He was in his
90th year - so maybe he was on to something.

Yep - I refused to go "the healthy way" and at 63, my bad cholesterol is 110 and I'm on zero prescription meds. I know a lot of folks who 'try to eat only the healthy stuff" and they are a mess with 2-8 prescriptions going into their bodies every day.
