After watching that video of RFK Jr explaining how fast food restaurants used to cook fries in beef tallow but then switched to oils, I decided to give it a shot. I used to always use vegetable oil for the fries or a little butter to grill the burgers on a griddle. This time I finally caved in and bought a few gallons of beef tallow. Hoo boy, was it amazing. I'm NEVER going back to vegetable oil, I'll only cook fries in tallow from here on out. The burgers were also the best I've ever made.
I wonder, what are the health benefits of tallow? 🤔
I'm in the middle of reading this book, which explains in great detail why vegetable oils are awful and butter (only grassfed) tallow, lard, olive and other fats and oils are good.
