This! After 20 years eating in a totally retarded fashion and taking cholesterol medication I said "F*** it" and stopped with the stupid statins, gave up anything with seeds in it (and starch and rice and corn) and started having a fried breakfast every morning. Never felt better, bloating all gone. My conclusion, the health profession is trying to kill us all. Bastards. Price of butter has gone through the roof (makes sense moo juice is our main export produce) but I never thought of using lard like my Dad did when I was little - going to give it a go.
I'm 60 yrs old and can tell you from experience that up until the mid 80s or so, McDonalds had the best tasting french fries. They started to suck when under health conscious pressure, they switched from animal fats to vegetable oil.
The other thing with Mc Donalds - the company that manufactured the fries used to dip the fries in beef broth before flash freezing them. Gave them a taste boost but then had to stop when word got out that their fries weren't all 'potato', and especially ticked off the vegetarians who had been eating them for years.
You are absolutely correct. I was speaking to a donut shop owner. He told me that he has to add gallons of vegetable oil after frying donuts. He tried using animal fat and he didn't need to add oil at the end of the day. He did some research and apparently, the fat sears the food almost instantly and doesn't allow a lot of oil absorption. The same is apparently true for fried chicken. Crispy and dark fried on the outside, moist and cooked perfectly on the inside. Furthermore, margarine is crap.
Lard French fries at home are great. I’m really into making “stuff” myself instead of buying and today I was listening to clif high and he was bashing seed oils that were made popular by seventh day Adventist’s which is another rabbit hole.
Animal fats Beef tallow,pork and butter everything they told you to stay away from.

I don't eat out a lot, but in the past year or so, I feel absolutely sick after eating in a restaurant. And I don't eat fast food.
An air popper and a stick of butter will fix you right up.

Vegetarians suck, especially Vegans. There needs to be a meat-based plant alternative. Think of the fun you could have screwing with them.
I remember…

You Fukers are making me hungry

I’m going to do this. I just made beef tallow from brisket trimmings. Beef fried chicken. That’s going to be interesting.
You'll never go back to any other oil. I do the same with Brisket. Best french fries, chicken ever.
Pork fat in Cocolate chip cookies--Yum
I can't wait to hear how it turns out. I am going to try lard for frying. Old school, but i have my fingers crossed.

Beef fat for donuts freaked my wife out, but it is delicious.
All of the above animal oils esp if grassfed... Also coconut oil and avocado oil have higher smoke points so good for frying.
