@ KD.. Would you prefer suet to butter?
Not sure what you mean. I eat suet regularly but not daily or even every week precisely because of how I approach this issue. I like lamb and buffalo as opposed to the more waxy beef, but find all to be sometimes hard to breakdown in my mouth and sometimes even stomach. I probably rather would eat it alone than butter and do sometimes, but probably not the entirety of the day. I've eaten butter-only some days because I literally sometimes have nothing else to eat and am lazy or unable to get to a shop. The suet I get mailed so unless I havn't 'budgeted' my meat order well, odds are I still have meat to eat in the freezer. I ate suet on a bus trip recently, looks sort of harmless like a anemic biscuit.
Personally it makes little sense for me to concentrate on 1-2 fat sources if I am already ascribing to a very 'limited' high fat diet, although I would never argue these things are essential to health, this makes the most sense to me.
as I was trying to point out in the butter/tallow thread, alot of this stuff comes down to what you want and what your diet is like. If you have a high fat almost exclusively ruminant diet, and thats what you think is best, of course suet or even tallow will do the trick there, but that doesn't prove that fats from raw butter or, eggs, or fish/oils etc..wouldn't have some added benefit long term, just as people eating a Primal Diet and for the most part exuding animal fats like marow/suet/fatty organs etc...can't claim these are 'unnecessary' for this reason of longevity or whatever.
Its seems to me that even Aajonus, Scott Wheeler etc...have lowered their gripe with these - likely - frozen fats to them being 'less nutritional', and not necessarily harmful in regards to bacteria or whatever. It doesn't take a tremendous leap of faith to find some middle ground from either theory.
Someone on here that was banned suggested even Aajonus claimed animal fats were superior to dairy - which I have never heard. I think Daniel Vitalis is someone who does see dairy this way in somewhat medicore -substitute- fashion, but obviously ascribes benefits to it as well not present in animal fat for contemporary humans. For me personally, I'm pretty sure that even if I had access to 100% freshly killed wild animals, I could still rationalize eating some raw butter from a healing/nutritional standpoint, and certainly not taste or appeal otherwise or necessary to remain on planet earth.

I know people that have stuck to vegetarianism but have employed raw butter as the bulk of their 'high fat' veg diet, and I think likely to greater good than would have suet or tallow alone as a single food and certainly fruits. To me since I do eat some fish,birds, and fruits, and the occasional starch, butter compliments these things well and keeps me replenished without needing to gorge on the carbs or protein in these meals to be satiated.
If someone is getting their energy from a mix of carbohydrates and protein, the only reason to eat raw butter would be because it does provided a number of nutrients that arn't present in such foods, although the degree of necessity or trade-offs possible detriments would come into play, particularly if they were not used to eating it and weary of all symptoms of such. [Insert claims of internal stored toxins/casein here]
there might be issues regarding natural hormones or mineral imbalances in pastured raw dairy in regards to long term to contrast the advantage in eating such easily assimilated fresh fats, but it seems pretty conclusive to me that people can get healthy eating it, and anecdotally often faster than the alternatives.
