Anybody ever heard of a more unhealthy ingredient?

    Is that even possible?? Partially hydrogenated oils are unsaturated oils, which, through hydrogenation, become saturated. Seeing that lard is 100% saturated at its natural state, I don't see how it can undergo hydrogenation.

    Yes, lard. The lard you buy in a grocery store is partially hydrogenated to extend the shelf life. I render my own lard from leaf lard. I buy pork from a sustainable farmer and render the lard myself.

    Otherwise, use butter, olive oil, or coconut oil

    That seems like a lot of work.

    I render bacon fat to cook chicken, but that's as far as it goes.

    I can filter out chlorine and fluorine.... But the bromine is structured into the molecule itself.


    I had to give up Mountain Dew cuz o' that shiznit!

    Where do you even get lard?

    The closest my grocery store gets is Crisco vegetable crap.

    Some stores keep it in the freezer. Makes the best pie crusts.

    Lard is pork fat and partially hydrogenated lard is manufactured vegetable oil to resemble lards characteristics.
