Personally I buy whats on sale, one week I eat stakes until I hate them the next it’s chicken. Something good is always on sale, just gotta keep an eye out for what you can afford.

Apparently people have no idea what good saturated fat does for the body, yesterday at school (i’m going to NPTI in San Diego) my teacher told a class room full of unknowing students that saturated fat was bad, and gave no reason why. I raised my hand and told him thats some old science and that I took issue with him telling people who take his word for truth that saturated fat is bad. I tried to explain to him but he wouldn’t have it, so I went home and printed some studies and articles for him to read about the benefits of saturated fats.
I was just shocked when he called it bad fat idiot.

You might enjoy listening/reading some work from Chris Masterjohn if you aren’t familiar with him. Does a very good job of explaining both the scientific side(without losing the average listener) and showing the media/govts roles in the myths surrounding fats of all kinds.
If you can afford it, go here. There’s a place where you can find someone in your area. Lots of them sell meat at local farmers markets. Others you just drive to their farm and get what you want. I buy a good portion of my meat through here but also look for stuff on sale at the grocery store.
Yea I know. Just because they were taught something and read it in their texts it HAS to be true. I hate followers who can’t think outside the box and are pawns. How many times do you have to be deceived before you realize that FDA and government as a whole is corrupt. Shit, the Federal Reserve is illegal. I love the fact that you stand up all show him he’s wrong.

Generally I’m of the assumption that the fattier the meat the more plant fats you are gonna need that day to neutralize it.

I’m unclear what you mean by this, can you elaborate? [/quote]
Balancing your fat sources to mitigate your heart attack risk. Most people get too much saturated fat relative to unsatured/omega 3 fat. It is the whole ‘bad cholesterol/good cholesterol’ deal.

(sorry is info you already knew, but…) Your notion of wanting to balance fats is conceptually correct, but the way you categorize into “animal = bad” and “plant = good” is incorrect. It’s all about getting enough EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids), but not too much of a particular EFA. Corn oil, which is a plant source, for example provides an EFA that people most likely already get way too much of and it can contribute to inflammatory processes in the body. Omega 3s from fish, which is obviously an animal source, like those in Flameout, tend to reduce inflammation.
