Why animal fats in particular? This is somewhat disheartening as I find both the idea and the taste of eating mammals to be physically nauseating. Poultry and fish aren't as significant for me, but I don't eat much of those either.
Since you've significantly increased your animal fat intake, how has your animal protein intake changed? Do you just add lard to your diet, or do you eat really fatty cuts of meat?
Partly for the saturated fat, partly for less extreme amounts of omega-6 (though some plant oils are not as bad as others), and partly the personal fact that my stomach doesn't seem to like significant quantities of olive oil, but craves large amounts of animal fat. Whipping cream and butter are both mammal fat that don't require killing the animal - eggs fried in butter are quite tasty :)
I never really monitored the amount of protein I eat, but it has to have gone up. I do eat fatty cuts of meat, but I add a lot of nearly pure fat to my diet, so it's a bit of both.
Good point.
I like butter, though not as much as olive oil, but I also eat a good deal of cheese and eggs, so I guess I already eat a fair quantity of animal fat, just not animal body fat.
