For large groups of people it's off limits due to personal dietary restrictions

So you’re proposing that the FDA should promote a vegan diet to cater to the lowest common denominator?

The omega6:3 ratio and PUFA content of tallow is favorable.

Canola and other seed oils are made using toxic solvents which are not full removed from the final product.

I don’t particularly trust any claims from previous administrations’ health departments, let alone this one.

Politics aside, the omega6:3 ratio and PUFA content of tallow is favorable.

Beef tallow has a favorable omega 6 to omega 3 ratio and low levels of PUFAs, compared to seed oils and other cooking fats.

I recommend reading the article.

Sure, "poison" is hyperbolic, but my point is: the continued approval of extremely unhealthy food additives (synthetic petroleum coloring, oils that are extracted with petroleum solvents, etc.) is making the population extremely unhealthy. These food additives disrupt hormones and make food addictive. They also help to improve shelf life, an added benefit for only the corporation profiting. None of this helps the consumer.
