I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.
And a hazelnut vodka.
There are many ways for a heart to implode.
Pork fat is less processed product and certainly more healthy. America isn't actually great at much but one thing we do have is the least healthy food to ever exist.
Truth. Heart disease wasn't nearly as prevalent back when we cooked everything with lard. And then Crisco came along, started producing that overprocessed "vegetable oil" garbage, marketed it (and continue to market it) as "healthy", and people actually fell for their BS. Hell, judging by the amount of downvotes you got, half the public still believes this lie.
A lot of this is because people had to do a lot more exercise during the day than we do now. Not that the lard was better for us. This is where a lot of the downvotes come from. Even the rich had to do a lot more walking. If we could return to the amount of exercise we averaged 50+ years ago, you would see a lot of this decline. The next big thing is the amount we eat. We consume significantly more calories now than we used to. In the past 100 years it has increased ~20%. All the while we have been doing less physically. The third big factor is where the shitty food comes in. Having sugar/highly refined carbs added to just about everything promotes over-eating, while also fucking with your insulin production, and other endocrine issues, that promote fat retention, while also increasing addictive eating disorder likelihood.
High super consumption has much more impact on heart health than fats as well.
Wow you got down voted for the truth
There’s a lot of options to eat well however
Hot roast chicken skin chopped onto rice is a meal fit for the gods.
Better than bacon. And I know those are fighting words in some places. Just embrace the schmaltz and let it drip into the rice.
The key is to get to that skin while it's still hot, but before it winds up in the fridge. You can reconstitute it in a skillet, like bacon, but it's just not the same.
Eating animal parts totally makes me feel like a Ferengi eyeing your latinum ring.
Zaseka?
Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.
