Seed oils are poisoning your home-cooked meals.

Thankfully, there's an alternative that won't break the bank or shorten your life span.

Beef tallow

Here's how to make your own tallow at home in just a few minutes without toxic seed oils or guilt:

What is tallow?

Tallow is just another name for beef fat that's been cooked down to remove everything but the fat.

Before seed oils came along, tallow was used for everything from cooking, candles, skincare products, soaps, and more.

Here's how to make your own:

First, you'll need beef fat.

Could be scraps from your own cooking or scraps from a trusted local butcher.

Try saving trimmings and scraps in the freezer each time you eat beef. It adds up and doesn't have to go to waste.

Meat is good.

But should you eat ONLY meat?

Probably not.

Your favorite influencer won't tell you this, but the pure carnivore diet has a dark side.

Here are 7 reasons NOT to go full carnivore:

In 2019, I ate only meat and animal products for 6 months.

By the end, I was much less healthy than when I started.

And it turns out there's a simple explanation.

Here's why you should avoid a longterm meat-only diet:

1. Gas and bloating

Most carnivores think abstinence from plants will fix bloating by eliminating plant-eating gut bacteria that ferment fiber and produce gas.

But it's not that simple.

Most people think bacteria can only ferment carbs and fiber...

Why is Raw Milk ILLEGAL?

Here's the unbelievable true story of how the original superfood got banned, and why you should drink it anyway:

Raw milk is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

All mammals grow from helpless infancy to functioning childhood on a strict diet of their mother's (raw) milk

And raw milk has been a dietary staple of most prominent cultures since the dawn of history...

In fact, you could argue that early human civilizations, particularly in cold, inhospitable climates, succeeded only bc of the domestication of dairy animals.

Easy access to a highly anabolic, nutrient-dense food is a massive survival advantage.

Yet today, it's illegal...

Me 5 months ago:

- Soulless 250k/yr tech job
- Woke up daily with no purpose

Me today:

- Seed oil-free tortilla chip maker
- On a mission to take down big snack corporations
- Wake up with a passion

Here are 5 unexpected lessons I've learned along the way:

1) Having a desk job is not "hard work"

Sure, you CAN give it your all at your day job...

But you don't really need to.

You've seen the lifestyle videos. Many techies scroll TikTok and skate by on the bare minimum.

Running a business is another story.

Why is that?

2) Huge corporations have low standards

If you nail your interview, you've made it.

Get inside a big company, and you can almost do whatever you want without getting fired (unless Elon buys your company).

But when you're the captain of the ship?

Your skin is your biggest organ.

It also:
> Protects your body from bacteria
> Absorbs important nutrients
> Regulates body temperature

So here's why 6 reasons why healthy beautiful women are rubbing beef fat on their skin:

Skincare products can be intimidating.

Most are chock-full of chemicals and ingredients you've never heard of.

The good news? You can replace all that nonsense with one product.

Tallow, aka rendered beef fat.

So here's why tallow is the only skincare product you need:

Vitamin A

Ever heard of retinol? That's Vitamin A.

Retinol is the main skin vitamin. Tons of products use synthetic versions combined with dangerous chemicals.

Tallow is rich in natural retinol.

According to the CDC, over 40% of Americans are obese.

And it's no surprise when you look at the food they eat.

Here are 15 American foods that are so bad they're banned (yes, illegal) in other countries:

1. Twinkies

Classic junk food. Classic poison.

High fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils are bad, but it's the Yellow 5 that signed the death warrant on Twinkies. The EU requires warning labels on dyes...

But Austria, Finland, and Norway are taking no chances.

2. Stove Top stuffing

This low-key quick-dinner option is hiding some serious chemicals.

A combination of beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) take Stove Top off the menu in Japan, the UK, and several European countries.
