Animal Fat

/ˈæn.ɪ.məl fæt/noun
ELI5 mode

Animal fat refers to lipids or greasy substances derived from animal tissues, serving as a key energy storage and insulation material in biology. It's widely used in food production for its rich flavor and texture, but in modern health contexts, it's often linked to risks like heart disease due to high saturated fat levels, prompting shifts toward plant-based alternatives.
