What you’ve failed to pick up on is the difference between science and propaganda.
Science has shown that Animal fats, coconut oil, and nut oils are the way to prevent Heart disease, not cause it.
The pharma giants know this but do their best to cover it up, with the government’s help.
oh my!
but I'm glad you did!

Amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl valerate, and anethol are what give the fruits their flavor. They’re called esthers.
The rest of that crap, I don’t want to know! (I don’t buy their garbage anyway)
I looked the rest of them up, and except for the last ingredient, they are all fruit flavors that do occur naturally in various fruits.
We used to make it all of the time when I was young and we raised hogs. Grandma would use nothing else for pie crust.
I’m not minding this rain - jus’ hoping the wild winds don’t bring any of the poplars down on the house.
Got my wood stove purring and a couple candles lit in case the power goes out - enough light to get to my kerosene lamps.
I just keeping telling myself: “I’d rather have 2 1/2” of rain than the 2 1/2 feet it would of snow - and high drifts. And it’s sure a lot warmer’n it has been for a bit.”
yep - love my coconut oil - and I won’t have nothing to do with a pork chop without it’s bone IN - AND fat intact.
Love that fat and chewing the bone.
You have to be OLD like me to remember this one, LOL!
Wow! Must have missed that one somewhere along the line. Music Man was my all time favorite, if you are looking to be dated, as in OLD, but that was 1962, and the stage musical was late 1957 so how did I miss “go chicken fat go”?
Thanks, metmom. I was concerned when I saw that post, because I use olive oil when cooking. We also use peanut oil. I’ve gradually weaned Mr. trisham away from canola and corn oil.
“Science be damned, I suppose.”
I am a scientist, ‘flint’, and there is no science behind you arguments.
One more article on coconut oil -
and besides, it tastes good.
Oh yes - lard fries the best chicken, and I use it in savory crusts, like for empanadas. I’ve never tried it in sweet pastry, though. I’ve always used the store stuff, but if this article had come out a couple of months ago, I could have gotten some from my pork guy at the farmer’s market. He’ll be back next year, though, with the same great meat.
I have used coconut oil in the past and bought a 7 lb bucket of organic unrefined oil about a year ago. I will have to buy some more! I had read that it was supposed to help the liver. My main purpose for buying it was to help one of my dogs "Aladden" who has canine epilipsy and has to take phenobarbatal every day to help mitigate his seizures. It does work, but over time it can cause liver problems.
I also make sure he gets Milk Thistle added to his food every day for his liver. The organic unrefined coconut oil is a food grade oil and retains the aroma and flavor of coconut. You can buy coconut oil that does not have the aroma and flavor and it is just as good.
“I’d rather have 2 1/2” of rain than the 2 1/2 feet it would of snow - and high drifts. And it’s sure a lot warmer’n it has been for a bit.”
True, and ditto!
Most of it is over now, got a TON of rain, but at least it’s good for the well!
“I remember my mom telling me they used to eat bread spread with lard during the depression.”
They still do in Italy. They use a seasoned lard.
I remember making head sausage...
***************
I have done the hog killing, lard rendering thing but I quit at making the head sausage. Yuck!
The Chicken Fat Song!
We did the exercises to it in Phys Ed when I was in elementary school! I guess I’m as OLD as you! : )
Chamber pots under the beds were only for use in the winter. If you had to go at night in the spring, summer, or fall, it was the outhouse for you. Kerosene lantern went with you if there wasn't enough moon to see by. Scary place at night.
Granny had a four room house, with a pantry that was turned into a bathroom later when she got plumbing. There was a stove that ran on what granny called fuel oil in the living room and a wood stove in the kitchen. Whatever heat the bedrooms felt came in from the kitchen or living room. Granny would heat bricks on the wood stove and put them under the covers at the end of the bed. Sure made your feet toasty. But if you had to go in the middle of the night in the winter, you dropped your feet on the cold rose linoleum, reached under the bed and pulled out the chamber pot (also with roses on it. My mom say a lady use one just like it at a fancy sit down meal decades later for a gravy boat. Mom said she just couldn't eat any gravy, she just couldn't!) and you would lower your poor bottom onto that cold china.....things were a lot harder then; but in some ways, a lot happier too.
My Dad and his three brothers were raised on a farm. When, as a child, we’d go up to the farm, Grandma Velma would make a huge pot of country gravy. Those of us that came up to the farm from the city watched with huge eyes our uncles cover everything and I mean “everything” in country gravy...meat, potatoes, sliced tomatoes, green beans. My uncle Richard used to put it on Grandma’s chocolate cake. I love the stuff; but that was too much for me!
