why do you drain off the bacon grease? does it change the taste of the dish too much if you dont? just seams strange to me to drain off butter or bacon grease but then im not looking to be healthy lol?

I thought the whole point of using butter or bacon grease was to not have to drain it off after?

veggie oil yea I always drain that off and scoop out any of whats left at the end, don't need that because it adds nothing but bacon or butter is always a flavor worth keeping in it I would think
