Animal fat that has been cooked to temperature is absolutely fucking horrible for you.
You're thinking of plant-based omega-fats which are essential for health.
There's some evidence some animal fats may be the cause of cardiovascular disease, but it isn't great. There are a lot of confounding factors involved.

(There's a lot more detail above where this links, but I linked to the end.)
I haven't heard that before, do you have a source where I could read more? I know fish at least is high in omega-3s... What is it about cooking the fat that makes it bad, and does that mean raw or rendered fats are fine?
