Summary
The American Heart Association still recommends limiting saturated fat intake. Grocery market shelves are loaded with promises of "heart healthy" seed oils. It's time to do some myth busting. Bryan Mussard is a lifelong rancher who is passionate about reviving regenerative ranching and making America healthy again… by embracing saturated fat.
As a young man, Bryan went through a personal health crisis that led him to investigate the benefits of fat. As a rancher and advocate for the Make America Healthy Again initiatives, he is uniquely positioned to offer insights on how politics, Big Food, and Big Ag can be made to see the light about the benefits of saturated fat and meat.

| 1:44.0 | It has done us no favors, and yet here we are in 26 still concerned about the amount of saturated fat on our plates. |
