If you knew more about fat, you'd probably be less concerned about
animal fats, especially in moderation. I bought a bit less than
1-1/2# of ground sirloin, and I melted about a tablespoon of refined
(tasteless) coconut oil into the pan before browning it.. It's going
to end up as chili.

I think the skin is the best tasting part of poultry, and of pork for
that matter.

I sure don't take the skin off of roast turkey. I am a tad concerned
however about what exactly goes into ground poultry here (fatwise).
And the amounts in there. I know that animal fats are made out to be
worse than they are. Like I said, even in my original post, 'too much
fat' is not something I want. The Inuit people did not have a healthy
diet in the past. Too much fat/meat??? Even all that good ole' seal
oil didn't counteract the effects of their diet. Now, their diet is
prolly less healthy if they are getting all the processed foods that
they never had before.
Having said that, Ted Nugent (the guy that wants to kill people who
wear laundry on their head) swears by venison.

That would be sloppy seconds.
