"Use vegetable oil please!" I pleaded with my grandmother."Lard is TERRIBLE!"
Never mind that my grandparents survived the depression and lived into their eighties and nineties without eating rancid vegetable oils. Yes, apparently the erstwhile food advertising establishment had me by the ear, infiltrating my brain.
Now I'm mostly into whole foods - and healthy fats. Coconut oil, Udo's Oil, olive oil, are my mainstays. I feel energetic and lost weight on the Udo's and coconut oils.
I haven't gotten back into lard consumption, though I hear there's some good stuff out there . . . perhaps I should go to a park or an alley some night to procure it. "Pssst! Got any organic non-hydrogenated lard, man?"
