I now eat a super high fiber whole foods home cooked diet that is mostly plants with only a little bit of animal products - mostly cream, parmesan cheese and occasionally some chicken.
I look at how some of my loved ones eat and it is dismaying - lots of animal fats and lots of ultra processed junk food. It makes me sad only because I feel so great on my new healthier diet and I know they would feel better if they ditched the junk food and sugar and saturated fats too, but you can't control other people. It must be hard to watch a spouse wallow in poor habits and model them to a child, too.
Animal fats are healthy. So are saturated fats.
You hit the nail on the head in regards to sugar and carbohydrates in general and processed foods like oils and packaged stuff.
