Apparently even cows, who eat grass, synthesize fats in their rumen. I could be wrong. Looking for some clarity on this subject. Thanks!

>when nearly all animals use fat as their primary source of fuel
If we’re talking about herbivores, this is mistaken. They eat cellulose(as opposed to glucose). The ‘lose part of those words is no mistake, the stuff ruminants can break down are polysaccharides, poly meaning many. Monosaccharide and disaccharide are the single and double chains respectively that our gut bateria can break down. We can’t tackle many chains.
And those are all carbs. If you’re talking about dietary guidelines in terms of health from the main sources of kcal(carb, fat, and protein) then there is no way to gain accurate data on any of it. Don’t listen to anyone that says they know with any certainty. They’re lying. You can’t force large groups of people to eat only one thing, for years, to gain that kind of data. Its a moral infraction
Most people aren’t doing anything wrong at all, macro wise. They’re confusing unhealthy food with unhealthy practise though.
