It was funny to me that the “beef tallow not seed oils” fad was centered around a meta analysis that primarily recommended a high fiber diet instead of high carb, or protein.
I recently came across Steak N Shake’s site (USA fast food burgers, maybe heftier than McDonald’s I guess?). It has a section called “seed oils” where it goes all-out on transitioning away from seed oils and into beef tallow that’s free of “additives, preservatives, and chemicals”
This is the first I’ve learned of seed oils being an enemy. Is this a USA thing? I don’t see how whatever “chemical” requirement is placed on cow oil can’t be applied to seed oils. Just feels like fear mongering about spooky “chemicals” when the word applies to every single compound in our lives, but it carries a big scary negative connotation when you say “chemical”.
Burger made from cow meat. Potato soaked in cow oil. Wash it down with cow juice sugar sludge.
Seed oils are industrially refined oils that differ greatly in chemical composition to animal fat. Intuitively, you know that they are liquid at room temperature while tallow is solid. They are clearly not the same.
I didn’t say they were the same. I said I don’t see how whatever regulations they’re self-imposing on hot liquid cow can’t be equally regulated upon hot liquid seeds.
90% feer mongering. The beef industry is pretty big here so they campaigned some for the beef tallow thing. That plus the reactionary “carnivore” diet being a thing.
