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? 🤔
OK I found the video I saw when it was posted a while ago, can't remember how long ago, but anyways the video:

And while searching, I came across these articles:

EDIT: Forgot to mention that it wasn't heavy metals I was originally thinking of, but PFAS, or better known as "Forever Chemicals" found in Kerrygold.
Thanks for the info! Looks like I'll be using another brand!
