A PSA: Pigs and chickens (and likely most Monogastric animals, which includes you) tend to bioaccumulate polyunsaturated fat from their feed, though the specifics will depend on the breed and circumstances. Pigs and chickens fed on soybean meal can have polyunsaturated fat percentages that rival or exceed what you see in vegetable oils. Also note that the nutrition label can often be outright wrong/outdated. Polyunsaturated fat has a big tendency to exacerbate mental issues, for a variety of possible reasons but a big one likely being that it can result in chronic systemic inflammation. So don’t make the mistake of thinking “animal fat = saturated fat” like I did, and ending up triggering a major depressive episode. Ruminants (cows/goats/sheep) seem remarkably resistant to this accumulation even when fed shitty meal.
