Recently, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy drew attention to fast food consumption by endorsing traditional cooking oils, specifically beef tallow, during a televised meal. This endorsement leads Steak 'n Shake to reinstate tallow for frying its fries, a practice abandoned decades ago due to health concerns over saturated fats. Kennedy's stance against seed oils relates to mounting obesity and chronic disease rates in America. However, nutrition experts caution that switching frying oils alone won't mitigate health risks associated with high-calorie foods like French fries, advocating for reduced consumption regardless of the oil used.
Kennedy insists that by reverting to traditional cooking methods and ingredients like beef tallow, we can combat the obesity epidemic attributed to ultra-processed foods.
Christopher Gardner emphasizes that regardless of the frying oil used, consuming fewer French fries and reducing saturated fat intake is crucial for better heart health.
