hi EMT,

I used canola oil as a comparison for the polyunsaturate content of chicken and pork fat, not to suggest that it's a "bad" fat.

Do I think saturated fats are good fat choices? Yes I do! It's a myth that saturated fat causes clogged arteries and makes cholesterol levels skyrocket. In fact, saturated fat is necessary for good health. You might wish to check out the following article, Facing the Facts About Saturated Fats, Heart Disease and Cancer by Stephen Byrnes, ND, RNCP.

And there's the fact that, like butter, they do not turn into harmful transfats when you cook with them
