<lol> I've seen that... ;-)

I usually go ahead and cook it, then trim it off for the cats.
They seem to like it better cooked.

Sometimes I crave fat, especially if I've been deliberately restricting
it. Then crispy fried fat or grilled fat is the _gods_!

I remember back when I was keeping a food log and actually keeping track
of daily fat grams and percentages. Took me 1/2 hour per day to do all
the math. <G>

I found that when I cut back to less than 10% fat daily, I'd start
craving it after about 3 days.

15% to 25% daily fat intake seemed to keep it under control.

You do need essential fatty acids in your diet, so the trick is to
figure out what to eat. Avocados, nuts and olive oil usually fit the
bill and curb the cravings, and are much healthier than animal fat.
