I wonder what effect eating pure fat on a daily basis would have on your health? Assuming you stay within the a daily calorie intake. I mean... groups of people who live in the north pole have a diet that consists of alot of seal blubber, which is high in calories.
Might be something to consider for people (maybe alcoholics?) that want to eat on the cheap.

You lack vitamins and some nutrition and would die I believe but I don't know how long it would take.Might be something to consider for people (maybe alcoholics?) that want to eat on the cheap.
t yourself a lot.Lard and oil would be good if you are going to burn it for its calorific value, but it would go through you pretty quickly if you consumed it!
I would go for the Peanut butter or any oily nuts.
Peanuts on Alibaba are US$600 per tonne at 590 kcal per 100g..that 15000 kcal for one of your earth pounds.

Utter rubbish. Did you make it up or have you actually read that somewhere?There was only a brief period when we could study the unchanged Eskimo diet. Obviously they did not eat only fat, but mostly fatty meat. Despite some assumptions about it being unhealthy (see above), these peoples lived very well. Additionally, "modern" afflictions like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's were unknown to them. It shouldn't really be a surprise - from your canine teeth to your anus your body is that of a carnivore.
Scientists stationed at the Antarctic supplement with butter - it is one of the few palatable ways you can eat thousands of extra calories a day, day after day. No ill effects.
Back on topic, my guess was going to be lard. I am not at all surprised that vegetable oil is cheaper still; that will be why you cannot find real mayonnaise in the shops.

Yes. Certainly enough of them to know what old age was. The same is true of other hunter gatherer societies. You need to remember how common homicide was as a cause of death for them, and how short the periods were between meeting us, being killed by us, our diseases, or our diet, and their diet and lifespans being recorded. Certainly the high fat diets did not make them fat or kill them young.Anyway, back to the vegetable fat.

The smell always made me fancy chips when I was running my car on rape seed oil though.boxst said:
