I watched a video back in 2014 about how we have been misinformed by the government for decades because a doctor named Ancel Keys published a cherry picked data to fit his preconceived notion about saturated fat. Since then the obesity rate went up and heart disease rate went up even when saturated fat consumption went down. The notion that saturated fat being bad has been debunked recently. It's what we (humans) have been eating for tens of if not hundreds of thousands of years. It's an important nutrient that human body needs.
Here is the document from IARC - Monographs evaluate consumption of red meat and processed meat
https://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2015/pdfs/pr240_E.pdf
"The experts concluded that each 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of
colorectal cancer by 18%"

Your point is...? BTW, you forgot to count the seafood. Little fishes feed on plankton, then bigger fishes or humans eat them, then even bigger fishes or humans eat those fishes.
Probably? Perhaps there is work cut out for you to find out.
The source of this info can be found where?
Saturated fat is not an essential nutrient. Processed oils, dairy, and meat damages endothelial cell walls - and when this happens inflammation starts, then a lesion forms, cholesterol comes in to patch it up. Eventually a blood clot breaks off and enters the heart causing a heart attack.

Look up LDL and HDL. They are both cholesterol but do different things and found in saturated fat.
I changed my post to be more accurate.

Saturated fat has been falsely accused of being a cause of heart disease. There has been no direct link of the two found, only speculations. Again, look up LDL and HDL. They are both cholesterol but do different things and found in saturated fat.
The result of a so-called-study that lumps all processed meats in together, manipulates the study groups that best illustrate the agenda of those funding the study, magnifies the absolute risk to relative and makes the fundamental mistake of thinking that correlation is causation. Stupid valueless study.
This is not what happens. Read up on the latest research.
Saturated fat is a wide group of fatty acids, some of which are essential. What do you think your brain is made of? Hint, protein and cholesterol.

Not my intention, but perhaps not far from the truth depending on your dietary choices.
To be honest with you, it seems to me like a scare tactic when the guilt tactics don't work. Is it that the ends justify the means?
Its oxidised cholesterol that causes the problems. Im well aware of the function of cholesterol in the body. I'm not convinced dietary cholesterol is needed for optimal health. The body makes all it needs.
Vegans point the finger at dairy products for using a lot of water but then substitute almond milk that uses more and they wear cotton clothes and cotton is a massive user of irrigation water compared to wool .
They also ignore the important role farm animals play in the production of vegetables and cereals-especially in providing fertiliser and utilising weed species which accompany food crops.Especially important in subsistence agriculture .Using livestock as part of a farming system increases efficiency, productivity and sustainability of plant based food production .

I guess you didn't look up LDL and HDL. They are both cholesterol but do different things and found in saturated fat. It's your loss (of knowledge).
That is not my intention of sharing what i've been posting. People can make their own informed opinions based on the data avaliable.

What kind of data? I'm asking because there are all sorts of them, some are phony, some are profit / funding driven, some are actually useful.
