Every household used to have Crisco or some sort of fat to use for cooking. Now every household has vegetable oil. Every snack uses it. Every fast food restaurant fries in it.
Human beings have been apex predators for 2 million years. We are designed to consume animals and especially their fat.
I remember we used margarine because we couldn't afford butter. That was by design. Keep poor people poor, and now they want to destroy the middle class to make everyone poor again and eat bugs.
My understanding (hand-wavy as this is from a pre-med-type former GF) is that things like Crisco, margerine etc are the worst as it's the synthetic stuff that makes them solid at room temp that is bad for you. So even lard IIRC often is in this category (I think it's best to find rendered fat without this hydrogenated crap or whatever like at meat markets).
I'd love if someone wants to chime in and add to/correct any of the above.
Oops, I should have clarified, "things that are normally an oil at room temperature" - so like Crisco - again, hand-wavy - is vegetable oil BUT hydrogenated so that it's not oil, but solid (ish) at room temperature. Same with margarine, Country Crock etc. That's the part I think that is Bad.
yes seed oils = oxidized Polyunsaturated Fats = there is an oxidative pathway in our metabolic system where very clearly a high PUFA diet raises signficant disease risks when it comes to systemic inflammation. Even sugar isn't this bad (sugar doesn't actually activate an oxidative pathway, its something neutral if you consume it in season especially from whole / local foods)
Seed oils replacing tallow and fat in everything.

2 million years…. Another lie.
Young Earther?
Makes the most sense. The Center for Creation Research is a great place to bookmark.
Sorry but I completely disagree and I'm very familiar with creationism and young earth theory.
The Earth and human beings are positively ancient fren

I always thought Crisco was just pork fat, I don't know what else is in it.
But you can buy Beef Tallow in a glass jar and it's solid at room temp, more like creamy but still white solid

Oh yeah without a doubt.
Stick with pure tallow and you can't go wrong.
I swear if someone opened a fast food restaurant that fried in beef tallow it would be an overnight success. Would just have to charge a little more.
Crisco is hydrogenated cotton seed oil. It was created to lubricate machine parts.
Pig fat (lard) does not have the nutritional value that's in beef fat.
Can't Agree with you More! Just bought 10# of beef fat to make tallow. No veggies in this house
