Eating fat from animals

[b*saint]

What happens to it in the body? I believe you don't store it.

Tell me you don't think you have pork and beef fat distributed through your body. You digest it just as any other food.

"Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body. The first step in digestion of a fat such as butter is to dissolve it into the watery content of the intestine. The bile acids produced by the liver dissolve fat into tiny droplets and allow pancreatic and intestinal enzymes to break the large fat molecules into smaller ones. Some of these small molecules are fatty acids and cholesterol. The bile acids combine with the fatty acids and cholesterol and help these molecules move into the cells of the mucosa. In these cells the small molecules are formed back into large ones, most of which pass into vessels called lymphatics near the intestine. These small vessels carry the reformed fat to the veins of the chest, and the blood carries the fat to storage depots in different parts of the body."

So in short, yes, it is stored for use later.

When dietary fats pass through the pyloric sphincter (into the small intestine), bile is released from the Gall bladder into the SI.
Bile breaks the chemical bonds of the fats into fatty acids and glycerols.
Lipoproteins help the fatty acids and glycerol diffuse across the cell membranes the Villi lining the SI.
Fatty acids + lipoprotein carriers travel through the blood for use in metabolic processes, hormone production, or for storage as adipose tissue and/or intramuscular fat.

Happens with all dietary fats, not just animal fats

EDIT: not quite correct about glycerol but i don't feel like looking shit up right now

I am Jack's raging bile duct.

Let's fund an underground fighting organization through the production and consumption of soap?
