Remember sitting in human physiology class in high school in 1958-59 being told how bad lard and butter was for us. Use margarine!! Bet cow hating bill gates has a lot to say about using lard dontcha know?

My grandmother always had olive oil and she kept the bacon grease. She always used those in her cooking as well as butter. She made her tortillas using lard. She was a wise woman.

Stopped eating margering 20 years ago when i found out how difficult it was to process through our digestive tract.

Bill gates is a reptile human crossbreed who's entire existence is to inflict as much human suffering as possible, across the blue orb. Add his dumb ass to the lineup at the Lincoln Memorial

Amd now lard and butter are known to be healthy and margarine deadly. Beware marketing.

I have a kid-memory of some neighbors who were using animal fat and butter back when all the others were using vegetable oils and margarine. That family was ahead of the curve. They noted that the birds knew enough not to eat the margarine.

So I got into olive oil and butter, then coconut and avocado oil. And who can live without bacon fat? It isn't the healthiest, but is too yummy to throw out :-D

My grandmother and great aunt used nothing but lard and butter for shortening. They lived to be 104. I chose a modern vegetarian diet and had a major heart attack at 68. Decided to become a recovering vegetarian. Meat, eggs, home grown vegetables, butter, cream and lard!! My cholesterol IS high but my arteries are clear. I donтАЩt even care if itтАЩs the wrong choice, the food is so much easier to fix and more delicious, itтАЩs worth it.
