What's the deal with this tallow movement among the MAGA's?

RFK Jr's latest kick. Most of your vegy oils other than virgin olive oil are solvent extracted - can't have that. I suppose in a perfect world it's an infinitesimal risk that could be avoided, but the price of purely pressed oils would probably be several times higher. 

Or to make the tradeoff a little more plain, you can have a perfect food supply, and starve half the world to death.

I don’t care if I have to eat gray salmon as long as the taste and texture are the same.

Of course if we followed RFKJ's advice we wouldn't have to worry about food dyes as we'd all be dead of coronary disease long before the chemicals got us.

Even though tallow has a higher flash point than most oils, I am very hesitant to just swap oils without much thought for fire safety reasons.

I cook on a gas burner, it will ignite *any* hydrocarbon oil if spills over (as would a red hot electrical element) so that makes no difference for me. There might be a marginal difference if you are using induction. But the difference in your life expectancy due to any increase in the likelihood of a kitchen fire pretty much pails compared to the risk to your health from increasing the animal fat in your diet.

if we are going to take advice from RFK Jr about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle: what is the USDA recommended amount of heroin we should be giving our children each day?

Not me. I have more than a clue about nutrition. RFK's power relies on ignorant people to whom nutrition is and always will be a mystery they can't solve, or at least can't reconcile with the paid messaging they're bombarded.

Oh, by the way, the FDA suspended milk quality testing yesterday. (Budget cuts)

So, doctors recommendation is that you choose ultra-pasteurized milk instead of regular pasteurized, as that is cooked at higher temperatures so as to kill off more microbes, and have a longer shelf life.

you know, just in case you want to keep your kids and yourself healthy, because the government doesn’t actually wanna be burdened with that anymore.

There has got to be something in their literature that promotes culling the population of “weak” and “stupid” people. There has to be some connection based on between that and their choice of cuts.

I think their cuts in funding to science, research and universities seems to suggest the opposite.  They don't care about weak and stupid people or intellectuals, probably for different reasons, but the same basic reason (They don't help billionaires make money).

Why can’t they go after both? 😉

So, the wife of the “Maryland man” and her kids had to move to a safe house because the White House’s release of the domestic complaint included her address. 

The abject disrespect and cruelty is the point in EVERYTHING they do.
