There's nothing wrong with eating a spoonful of fat. If someone likes coconut oil that is just as (or more) pleasing to them as eating a piece of chicken skin or a piece of pork fat or beef fat is to others. Coconut oil is food-something that is eaten for nourishment. Is fat not an essential nutrient?
Many would find it rather repulsive to throw a bunch of bones in a pot and simmer them until all the marrow and other substances have left the bone and be thoroughly disgusted at the thought of drinking the broth. Some people favor it.Sunny_Bunny_ wrote: »There's absolutely no reason to ever just eat a spoonful of fat. If you're hungry, eat food.

If someone wants to eat it because they like it, that's a totally different thing.
This didn't sound like it was being eaten for that reason.AngiesCookie wrote: »I attempted to eat coconut oil last night on a spoon. it was an interesting experience. I did about a 1/2 Tbs before I stopped. It was just too weird! I wish we had KerryGold butter here in WI.

I've tried the Primal Kitchen mayo and it's not bad. Personally, I found it a bit too sour for my taste so I sweetened up the jar with a few drops of EZ-Sweetz (I'm a previous Miracle Whip lover); however, more recently I found a brand of mayo called "Chosen Foods" being sold at Costco of all places! The ingredients in it are really clean - equivalent to those in the Primal Kitchen brand - except the jar is larger so you get more and the price is either about the same as Primal Kitchen or a little less. I noticed that the Chosen Foods brand still tasted sour to me but not as sour as the Primal Kitchen brand so, yes, I sweetened this bottle with a few drops of EZ-sweetz too...but I used less sweetener than I had to with the Primal Kitchen brand fwiw. I'm actually considering moving away from full-fat mayo's (yes, heresy, I know) and trying out some of the various Walden farms brands of mayo simply because I get plenty of other healthy fat from many different sources in my diet and having in essence a zero-calorie mayo would help me better manage calories especially in recipes that call for mayo or when I want something as simple as a sandwich.0

Also, depending on how much fat you have to lose, a good portion of your fat "macro" will come from your own body:
