Check out this program, which explores all the ways that fat in the diet is beneficial. The host, Layna Berman, has never been a true size-positive partisan, but her cohost Jeffry has done a number of pieces highly critical of the idea of the "epidemic". In the prologue of this hour, Jeff reports on a recent study indicating that minimally processed meat is very healthy, but that highly processed meats are not so much.
Notable quotes from this program: "Saturated fat is the most efficient nutrient, which is why your heart runs on it; your heart loves saturated fat."
"LDL transports amino acids, antioxidants and vitamins in the bloodstream. It is called bad because it deposits on inflamed sections of blood vessels, and HDL is called good because it scrubs LDL off those vessels."
