Nothing like dragging up an old post..
The miserable truth, as now understood by many doctors is mind blowing. Fat is good for dogs, and for us too. It has recently been accepted by multiple countries that the saturated fat of animal meat is GOOD for us, does not make us fat, does not make us die rapidly, does not raise cholesterol but does give us many health advantages.
Fortunately for me, I did not believe all the crap the doctors spouted out about fat, so have been eating it happily for years, and still living.
