Can't argue with you on gross, that's in the eye of the beholder.  |
Yes, but I don't want any animal fat in my diet. I'm not a nutritionist or anything to say what amounts of different fats we need, but I know 7 people (my grandfather's lifelong friends) who have been vegetarians for 20-40 years now and they have no health problems and look and feel way better than other people of their age. And then I see people getting heart attacks, strokes, and other things because of the animal fat and cholesterol they consumed their whole lives. So, I better stick with "good" fats and oils from plants (olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, nuts).
