Description:

The Oiling of America is a great introduction to how doctors, the media and “the diet dictocracts” got hoodwinked into doing the vegetable oil industry’s bidding, and why we, in the Weston Price Foundation, don’t fear animal fats.   Bring a guest, or better yet, your doctor!

For fifty years, big business, government agencies and medical organizations have campaigned deceptively against animal fats, meat, eggs, butter and other nutritious, traditional foods, leading to huge profits from the sale of toxic margarine, shortenings and liquid vegetable oils, and the foods that contain them. Scientific data contradicting current anti-animal fat public health policy was suppressed and censored for many years. Dr. Enig and Sally Fallon now tell you the truth about how that happened.The Oiling of America will open your eyes to fraud and deception behind the lipid hypothesis of heart disease. Topics include:

  • How scientists cheat in scientific studies
  • Why cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease
  • The dangers of cholesterol-lowering diets and drugs
  • Why trans fatty acids and liquid vegetable oils are so dangerous to human health

Sally Fallon Morell is founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and founder of A Campaign for Real Milk. Mrs. Fallon Morell lectures extensively around the world on issues of health and nutrition. She is a prolific writer of numerous articles and books and serves as editor of Wise Traditions, the quarterly journal of the Weston A. Price Foundation. In 1996, Mrs. Fallon Morell published the best-selling Nourishing Traditions (with Mary G. Enig, PhD), the cookbook that launched her career in alternative health.

In our modern world, cholesterol has become almost a swear word. Thanks to the promoters of the diet-heart hypothesis, everybody “knows” that cholesterol is “evil” and has to be fought at every turn. If you believe the popular media, you would think that there is simply no level of cholesterol low enough. Americans have been told to avoid eggs, cream and other high cholesterol foods in effort to lower their cholesterol. 

The truth is that we humans cannot live without cholesterol. Come see why high cholesterol foods belong in your diet.

August 9: Potluck & Discussion: The Benefits of Saturated Fats

Friday, August 9, 2019

6:00 – 8:00 PM

Location:

Natural Grocers
201 Coburg Road
Eugene, OR 97401

Topic: The Benefits of Saturated Fats

In contrast to the modern low-fat fad diet proponents, we encourage the use of animal fats and tropical oils. Traditional people valued fat and went to great expense to insure that they had enough of it. Butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, are all wonderful fats and oils to include in the diet. Small amounts of cold-pressed flax or other fragile polyunsaturated oils are good to include, but are needed in much smaller quantities than the stable saturated and monounsaturated fats. Fat content of traditional diets ranged from 30% to 80% of calories, but only a small percentage was from polyunsaturated oils. Most fat in traditional diets was the saturated and monounsaturated fats from animals and tropical oils. All natural fats and oils contain a mix of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

We will discuss where, why and how to include saturated fats in your traditional diet.  This is part of our introductory series.  Please bring a guest!

Beef Tallow French Fries

I just posted this to the Eugene Chapter Instagram account.

French fries

French fries cooking in grass-fed beef tallow

I made real French fries using grass-fed beef tallow!

My son says they taste as good as restaurant food. I’ve read that McD cooked their French fries in tallow until 1983, and that is what made them taste so good. In the 1980s everyone was convinced that animal fats were the source of all dietary evil and restaurants moved away from these traditional fats in favor of cheap industrial oils. Now that the problems with the industrial oils is coming to light I hope to see a move back to traditional fats and oils.

About This Event:
This is a BYOJ party (Bring Your Own Jars).

I first proposed the idea of the “Community Food Preparation Event ” in the August ’09 Newsletter. Teri Sue has volunteered her home, and a whole bunch of fat for this event.

I don’t know if a “Fat Rendering Party” is a traditional event, but it sounds like something you would be more likely to hear about happening in pioneer days than in modern America. This is not a class so much as a get-together and an opportunity to prepare food in the company of other like-minded people. Experience hands-on participation and discussion about rendering beef, lamb and pork fat into useful lard and tallow.

Children and Guests are Welcome:
This is a child-friendly home. Teri Sue has toys and DVDs for young children.
