I thought this paragraph of the interview was very yikes invoking, also!

Another big problem with eating a lot of animal fats is the organic pollutants that travel in teh fatty layer of tissues. So dioxins, PCBs and pesticides end up in the food supply. About 30 percent of animal feed for hogs and beef is recycled animal fat. And then there are endocrine disrupters, hormones and growth promoters used in the beef industry and increasingly in some of the other animal products. We need a lot more data, but what is emerging suggests that these endocrine disrupters play a role in everything from lowering the age of menarche to explaining the continued increase in breast cancer compared with other cancers.
