How to eat more fat
I’ve been advocating eating more fat for awhile on the blog. The truth is fat is good for us. Plain and simple. Just stay away from industrialized fats, and stick to the ones that human beings have eaten for centuries. Wanna know how? It’s really simple. This is a good place to start
Why use tallow or lard?
Tallow and lard are traditional fats that won’t leave a nasty film in your mouth, or give you a stomach ache after your favorite fried food, with a few trips to the bathroom thrown in, too. It is also a healthy fat, contrary to what you’ve probably heard. Read more about healthy fats. (Be sure to get your fat from a farmer that knows how to properly raise their animals.) You can fry foods without the worry of killing your heart, like you have to worry about when eating McDonald’s French fries – the oil they cook in is disgusting, although it wasn’t so until 1990:
Before switching to pure vegetable oil in 1990, the McDonald’s corporation cooked its french fries in a mixture of 93% beef tallow and 7% cottonseed oil. From Wikipedia
