It would have a significant impact on diseases of obesity and
inflammation, e.g., diabetes, metabolic syndrome, CHD, IBS, asthma,
autoimmune disorders, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, migraines, etc.
We just don't know how to EAT anymore.
When I think of the diseases folks contract as they age, many of
them seem to be related to being overweight. I don't want to go
down those paths, so I had better get myself into better shape.

Smart!

PS:I also hope that you're avoiding things like vegetable oil, soybean
oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, canola oil, and WHEAT.

I ingest soybean oil and canola oil in store-bought products,
which I should try harder to avoid.

Yes, you should, Jean, in my opinion.

Olive oil and coconut oil are far better choices.

Even leaf lard.

Must it be leaf lard? I do have access to real lard--with no
preservatives and no partially hydrogenated/hydrogenated lard in
it either.
