It isn't just that the fats are saturated. If I had to guess, the fat being used is the absolute cheapest of its kind, coming from stressed cows raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), their fat containing significant levels of hormones, antibiotics, herbicides and pesticides. Plants have lower concentrations than the animals who consume them. Toxin levels in tissue always rise as one moves up the food chain, because rates of intake by the are higher than rates of elimination.. And levels of most toxins are highest in fat.
Once you know how horrific the conditions are for animals raised commercially for food, it’s difficult to eat commercially-raised meat. You can’t get those brutal images out of your head.

I've been to hog CAFO's. Unpleasant is a vast understatement. I never considered the quality of the rendered fat. Excellent point!
