Simon comes in hot with some "content" about margarine and he and Lee discuss health stuff (again), before transitioning into body fat content and (unrelated) a discussion about making ciabatta.

Some other details from the episode:
Apologising at the beginning of something, attribution and circulation of ideas in dance, saying 'fuck' in multiple languages, margarine trigger warnings, Lee reminisces on learning how to bake, Simon's LDLs and a low saturated fat diet, the difference between statins and stents, Lee's gallbladder (and gallbladders in general), peanut butter being good for you, Lee's body signals as a guide to modifying his diet, Simon really liking butter, brussells sprouts recipes, foul-smelling green smoothies, Michael Fassbender and yoga, The Killer (film), Ben Affleck in The Accountant, George Clooney in The American, skinfolds and fatfolds, being too thin, Lee's Madonna phase, Apple's 'memories' feature, making ciabatta, and how everything on Amazon has 4.5 stars, and enshittification (Cory Doctorow).
