I don't believe saturated fat is as bad as a lot of people think it is although i don't think we should be eating too much of it at the same time . The majority of my calories come from mono unsaturated fat and lean proteins with some starchy tubers on the night .

I don't avoid SFAs but minimize them whenever possible to reduce the possibility of oxidization (via cooked meats, etc.), which are inflammatory. And PubMed, etc., have tons of research that show saturated fats from animals are inflammatory. Some will remember researcher/author Dr. Barry Sears via Harvard and The Zone Diet wrote / warned extensively of SFAs and inflammation in his first book---in the 90s. (Keep in mind, Sears advocates 30% of your diet is fat...when you lean out, even more.)
At the same time, vegan MDs are finding the value of high(er) fat diets for health...avocados, nuts, etc...since they don't have the negative impact of (animal) SFAs and helps reduce calories from starches.

..... the negative impact of (animal) SFAs ...... Are these organic, grass fed, grass finished, pastured, free grazing animal meats or are the meats evaluated the feed-lot crap that the grocery sells? Big difference in the effect they have on the body ..... might even say they have opposite effects on health. Of course, the studies show that the healthiest cultures don't eat meat every day, but the quality of the meat they do occasionally eat is much better than the supermarket crap.

Of course, the studies show that the healthiest cultures don't eat meat every day, but the quality of the meat they do occasionally eat is much better than the supermarket crap. And grass fed beef, free range chicken are also much lower in SFAs and higher in Omega 3s. (Think you made my case for me, !) Venison, caribou, wild caught salmon, duck eggs -- loaded with Omega 3s and lower in SFAs. If I don't have the time to head to the local butcher who works with local ranchers, or, it is off season for our farmer's market, I'll get the grocery store meats and poultry but will stay as lean as possible and get my fats from plants. On the road? It is egg whites, chicken breast or pork tenderloin and I pack pecans and almonds.

The grocery store where I go sells organic meat. You might want to ask how the people who raised the cattle take care of the animals before slaughter. Unfortunately, most cattle that are free range -- when they go to the slaughter house -- are put on a diet of corn or soy loaded with fillers for a period of time to fatten them up before they're killed. I believe by law, they can still call the cattle's meat "organic" even though they may be on corn feed, steroids and/or antibiotics shortly before slaughter.

What about the stuff that says it's from New Zeland? All the lamb I’ve bought from New Zealand said grass fed. It’s my understanding they don’t have the “ factory meat farms” we have in the states.

Where do you guys buy your meat? My go to animal protein source these days is wild caught sardines that still have the skin/ bones intact. I buy the water packed, drain, and add some extra virgin olive oil, as well as some spices to it. And they’re inexpensive. 17 grams of protein in a tin, for $1.29.

Yeah Tiberius You're right about grass feed. My mistake. I eat the wild caught sardines with olive oil also.
