All that excess fat makes us feel sick.  We don't need it.

That's nifty, I've never heard of a fat separator.  I guess I live under a rock.  When ladling pan drippings, I try to tilt the pan to avoid a significant amount of fat ladled up.  I also make the roux for gravy with more flour than normal, to account for the added fat from pan drippings.

 Those fat separators are great. You keep the plug in the spout and pour the pan juices in and let it sit. The fat rises to the top and the good stuff sinks to the bottom. When you remove the plug and pour the good stuff out first and when the fat gets to the bottom end of the spout you stop pouring.
 

I have one of those, albeit a lot older and not sure of the brand.  They do work!
