Greasing the Wheels: Deep dive into Fat

Fat is like liquid gold. Nutritive, giving us long lasting energy, necessary for proper nervous system and hormone function and thus growth + maintenance of the body, hydrating, and insulating, not to mention its many uses outside the human body-- as fuel, candles, lubrication, for tanning hides, making soap, etc… Unfortunately, the mainstream dialogue about fat and cholesterol is outdated and frankly, inaccurate, despite there being scientific evidence that says otherwise. In this class, we will get into the nitty gritty of why fat is important to the body, including the role of cholesterol and how to support wellness with delicious healthy fats. Discussion will include getting to know different types of fats and how to make use of them. We will begin by processing raw chicken fat from Dancing Bear Farm to render during the duration of the class. Folks have the option of taking home a jar of rendered fat. Bring your own jar or jars will be available for purchase. Materials fee:
