You talk to fast and it is irritating to my brain. I just turn off your voice. The up and down sing song is very irritating.

Margarine hasn't contained trans fats for years and years. I've been a subscriber for a long time but I'm probably gone now. Props to you for not directly peddling seed oil scare mongering and calling carnivore diet an extreme, I suppose. However you use highly anecdotal evidence of you not feeling worse and then calling that a health benefit of animal fats and also blanket statements like "highly processed". You talk about evolution even though we a wider access to animal products than most of history. I'm not american and I don't subscribe to the american black and white mindset you describe but I simply can't do with conspiracy theory adjacent content seeping into my subscriptions, nor can I support it. Have a good time and thanks for all the tips.
Olive oil, that's high quality, in a PLASTIC bottle not glass?…. UMMM NO
Fat video! 💯🔥🫶Thank You
🤘🤘
I just learned how to make lard from leaf fat
I use canola oil for most cooking. It's cheap and one of the healthiest if fats. I also very little oil most times becuase I'm cutting calories pretty heavily and at 1800 calories a day I'm watching what I eat pretty seriously. Lost alot of weight and still got more to go
Are you one of those two potheads Brothers that I saw 10 years ago making four meals for poor college kids? What happened to other guy I'm so confused what's happening.
Btw guys – cold-pressed canola oil (idk why it's called canola since it's rapeseed) is the closest substitution to cold-pressed olive oil. Not in the terms of taste but healthiness of course.
The government lied to us. We found out. We aren't eating their poisons anymore. Less processed is better.
Such an interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
bro spits quality info while simultaneously making Tour de France riders look ripped..hit a gym g

Hi Mike, great video! In Czech cuisine, we have a similar process where we render pork belly into crispy bits called škvarky (cracklings I guess?). The pork belly works well because it has a good balance of fat and meat.
Once the meat pieces are rendered and removed, the remaining fat becomes škvařené sádlo (rendered pork fat), which is widely used for frying, baking, or even as a spread. Sometimes, people add a bit of milk during rendering to enhance the flavor and give the fat a richer color and "caramelize" the crackligns more. .
The cracklings themselves can be eaten as they are (best when warm with glass of milk), used as a topping, or minced with onions, mustard, and spices to make a savory spread called škvarková pomazánka, which is delicious on fresh bread. It's a traditional way of using every part of the pork and adds so much flavor to cooking
❤❤❤
This is some appeal to nature bullshit that everyone's going to laugh at in a few years. But the world's on fire and everything is awful so if animal fats make you feel healthier than go off king.
Skim milk is a by product that didn't earn cash….buy, you can sell it as a low fat option.
Use GLASS WHEN buying oil!!!
What about sesame seed oil
Thanks for this video! I appreciate looking into it and presenting unbiased info. The cherry picking shady promo in the 50s isn't surprising when you think about it.
I am using lard for my pasties.
Try pork fat in freshly broken greenbeans. Use the thick salt pork fat. "Fatback". It gives a bacon flavor to the greenbeans.
I recommend using animal fats depending on how usable they still are. I would not use the dripping fat into the airfryer for example. Neither would I use fat that has been used for searing or frying. Too much high heat. Smell the fat. Does it smell good? Tastes good? Then store it.
-Gently rendered fat,
-fresh fat already incased in the meat itself
-or simple butter are better options than airfryer chicken fat.
This is probably one of the best cooking channel out there! Thank you for your great work this is inspiring me loads!
Because we're tired of being lied to, tired of being sick and tired of burying our loved ones because of disease that should've never happened.
I see that gelatin, mister. 😂 13:14
It’s crazy how far we strayed from a normal human diet. The less we screw with food and the more we keep it in its natural state, the better it is for you. Not sure if seed oil is the problem but more so the fact we eat 4 week old seed oil constant heated 24/7 from McDonald’s.
Great video but he never dived into butter or how to preserve the animal fat you make.
Imagine the best thing you could use to advertise your product is "it's digestible"
This is a very easy to understand and complete sharing video. Thank you.
Americans are waking up and realizing these oils used for cooking aren’t natural or have other additives so now people are going back to beef fat
What’s wrong with eating ribeyes all day? 😉..we don’t get fat eating fat! This is what I always tell my patients. Great video.
Those studies were paid by sugar companies. Beef tallow and Olive oil are really thing I cook with. I had crazy high cholesterol and skin issues. Olive oil only for dressing and some cooking. No high heat because it changes the structure of the oil and ends up being bad for you. But any frying or cooking I use beef tallow. It’s great for just use on skin. Palm oil it’s great too. You need to get the red stuff from the African markets.
I actually hate animal fat. the reason? they are the most annoying thing to clean off of the dish, spoons, etc.
I only eat clean biblical meats but i thinks its funny you just knock out the "trans fats" lol. Love youre stuff tho
The only downside to cooking with animal fat is there is quite a bit of excessive fat naturally going to be in the food you eat and if you're watching your calories you're forced to really watch how much you eat to not gain more weight. That said, it works wonders if you keep it super basic in just eating whole foods. Power lifters wouldn't get away with it as they need a lot of carbs to lift heavy.
whats the most healthy animal fat?
How else am I supposed to make tamales?
Any seed oils other than olive and coconut are unhealthy and toxic. Olive and coconut do not have the benefits that animal fats do but they are acceptable. Tallow is top for nutrient density.
Animal fat is way better tasting then the processed, chemical filled ones. It also makes your body feel better.
Our brain needs fat like we need water because our brains are made of fat. There’s a reason why fish is good for brain health. There are times I’ve had headaches and after eating something with fat in it. My headache went away.
I actually have to clean out my fridge bc I think I have 10 separate containers of schmaltz, bacon fat, maple bacon fat, tallow, lard… maybe more. It gets outta hand 😂 buttttt just try making cream of chicken soup using schmaltz instead of butter (amazing!), or bread with bacon fat. (Super subtle but super delicious!) and the cost savings is real! The fat is often a waste product of cooking!
