Quotes

"Lard isn't intrinsically good or bad. It's good if it's part of a healthy diet and bad if it's part of an unhealthy one," he says. "And if you have a good diet - a diet with a mix of different foods that's reasonably low in sugars and carbs, rich in fruits and vegetables, and has a diversity of healthy fats - I just don't see the harm in it."
