    The reason being saturated fats are linked with poor health, and unsaturated fats are linked with better health. And not just in a “rich people are healthier” way, when companies switched, everyone got healthier.

    But this guy doesn’t care. We’re really living in a post-truth world.

      Yup. It’s well studied which is why when someone has a heart attack the recommendation is essentially eliminating all saturated and trans fat. (See the DASH diet).

      Basically, if the fat is solid at room temp, it’s unhealthy.

            So your telling me I should be scooping out the contents that harden on top of the crock pot instead of letting them melt back into the pulled pork for flavor… Ugh. I’m lazy so I usually just want to put the pot in the fridge at night, then back on high when I get home, by the time everything else is done it’s basically back to boiling.

              Tbf unless you eat pulled pork daily I don’t think it’ll be a problem.

              It’s like that old saying … “Everything in moderation”.

                I had to cut back on eggs. I have hens out back that I just let free roam but I hadnt been giving them away fast enough. So I hard boiled a couple dozen and was eating them throughout the day just as snacks to keep food costs low. After day twot I realized I needed to slow my intake. Just got to loop more people into my egg ring. Luckily people like free eggs right now.

                Come spring I’ll just put a thing down by the road so people can grab them when they drive by, but I do worry kids might have a field day with that lol

            Isn’t that just a measure of the melting point of different fats? And emulsions really muddle that line.

      it could only be considered post-truth if there was ever any attempt at truth in the first place. Epidemiology makes Astrology look like legitimate peer reviewed science.

        Epidemiology is a real thing though. You can certainly track, for example, the link between smoking and lung cancer. Not everything is as clear as that, but epidemiology is quite important.
