In terms of fat quality, boy, how inflamed... Your audience is probably a little bit better, but how mad do you want the internet to get mad at these following statements, right?

I know it matters to you.

You've been clear in your career of how you approach things, but there's just not a lot of compelling evidence that whole fat...

itself can be disregarded as always healthy or always bad right so animal fat vegetable fats seed oils right we'll throw it out there hmm when managed under all appropriate situations we're okay here like we're really just okay you're fine we're gonna handle these things

But you go exaggerating any one of those areas, you're going to run into problems, right?

So if you're eating copious amounts of saturated fat and combining that with low physical activity, hyperchlorism, you're going to have problems.

Same thing with seed oils, right?

You cook them, you process them, you do all those things, you combine them, you're going to run into problems there too.

So what does a quality fat mean?

I always default back to the same thing.

I don't want to eat anything that's processed.

I don't care, animal, plant, you pick it.

I'm trying to eat whole food versions of everything.

And that is true for my carbohydrates, my proteins, and my fat.

So we don't approach the fats that differently.

So I don't deal with it that much because rarely are we going out of our way to give people processed foods, processed fats included.

So when we're eating processed,

For most of our people, they eat animal sources, right?

So we're going to be getting fats from animals in a reasonable amount, and we're paying attention to those other factors, vegetables, protein, whole foods.

So because of that, animal fat just doesn't come in huge quantities.
