The Take
Animal fat is healthy. Pure tallow, lard, and similar rendered fats deliver one ingredient with zero additives or seed oils.
Mainstream advice still pushes unsaturated plant oils, but the historical record and simple composition show animal fats as the default cooking medium that fed people without industrial refinement.
The Verdict
Animal fat delivers straightforward nutrition and cooking performance without the marketing layers of modern oils. Quality depends on the source, so regenerative or pasture-raised options keep the signal strong.
The identity play here is rejecting industrial food culture in favor of what grandmothers actually used.
Buy it from a verified local rancher rendering grass-finished beef tallow.
