My Grandfather on my mothers side ate a diet high in meat and always got the meat high in fat. At dinner time when we ate together it was a predetermined fact that he would get the piece of meat with the most fat content, and he would eat it all including the fat on the outside most people trim off. He said it was the best part of the meal.

Other than potatoes he never was to hot on veggies, ate a minimum just for balance. He never had a problem other than high blood pressure (other than the unrelated cancer that eventualy got him).
I'm working on it ever so slowly. I was raised when fat was "bad". I still have a hard time with texture, especially if it is cold.
