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? 🤔
How is regular butter bad? I've read grass fed butter has higher nutrient and fatty acid content, but that doesn't make regular butter inherently bad. There was a new study released in March of this year that says eating less saturated fat doesn't lower a person's risk for heart disease.
Several cultures have been eating butter for thousands of years. Farmers started giving cows grains in the 1800's. If grain fed butter/milk was the problem, people would have been having cardiovascular issues back then, but it's become a more recent epidemic.
