Canola oil is an artery clogger. I gave it up a year ago and my circulation began to improve within two months. Stick with coconut oil, olive oil and good old butter.

Canola oil has a distinct taste...just try popcorn popped in rape seed oil and say you like it.

Canola causes inflammation and heart disease. Seed oil is always rancid and canola,is GMO. Bad news. Don’t consume it.

I’m curious to know what you guys think of lard, if it is homemade natural lard.

This site “Homesick Texan” seems to really be on top of flavors.

“Canola” is an invented word, for marketing purposes only. It’s rapeseed oil. And the stuff will kill you.

Lard, tallow, and butter is the way to go. You really don’t need anything else.

I started eating healthy this past summer; and by healthy, I mean no GMOs, stuff with minimum pesticide and wherever possible I use sugar instead of corn syrup.
It has really made a difference. I will admit that non-GMO ketchup was very difficult to find, but I eventually found some. There are two positives here. One, the food actually has flavor, and two, it doesn’t give intestinal problems. The only negative is that it costs about 1/3 more.

Canola oil is derived from the seed of the unfortunately named rape plant. However, calling it "rape oil" would likely not be a terribly good marketing strategy. The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century.
