I hope frens here are paying attention to how much soybean oil is pushed into the American diet. Like high fructose syrup, it seems to be in almost everything. Mayonnaise is generally made from it these days, as well as most salad dressings. Be sure to check labels, frens. We want you healthy!
P.S.. in case you're not aware, most soybean oil in the US is made from genetically modified soybeans.
Watch out for soy lecithin and soy protein isolate as well. It's hard to find a food outside of the produce aisle that doesn't have at least one of those two in them, even if it's touted as an oil-free food.
1 room temp egg yolk, 1 cup avocado oil, 1 tbsp vinegar
Add egg and vinegar to mason jar Slowly pour in oil
Place immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar covering the yolk. Blend on high while lifting up taking about 10 seconds. Salt to taste. Best mayonnaise ever.
I use almost the same recipe, but add a teaspoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard. Delicious! Also white wine vinegar instead of regular white vinegar.
While we are on making it yourself, have a look at Hollandaise - the 'hot mayo' - which is the ultimate finger-licking pool-party trick - if you like:
In an au-bain-marie set-up - a saucepan or bowl sitting in a bath of boiling water: Eggyolk whizzed with a TBSP Brandy, or Whiskey, or lemon juice and salt to taste, depending. Choose for yourself what flavor. Now add a drizzle of molten butter and/or lard - have 1 cup at the ready. Whizz, or Whisk everytiime you add a drizzle, It will thicken into a like-runny-custard, slowly. If it 'breaks' it will look like fine scrambled egg, meaning too much fat - you went too fast with the pouring fat. At that point start again with another yolk and alcohol/juice, and add the scrambly stuff with a blender/whisk, and then add a little more fat - more slowly.
Oh I have been a fan of hollandaise for years. Little bit of wine, a few herbs and it's devine bearnaise.
True story. We had a dinner party with guests we had never had over before. I had become good at organizing the kitchen so everything flowed from first course to last with minimum effort. Had the egg yokes in the blender for the bernaise.
One guest asked for a screw driver. My husband gave him one. Poor guy had strange expression and was making faces at our mutual old friends. He asked one to taste it. Dear husband thought the eggs were frozen orange juice.
Is soy oil listed first? Because that would mean that is the ingredient with the most volume. I think it is. Bottom line, if soy oil is anywhere in the top 2-3 ingredients in any food you're eating, that ain't good.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find commercially available mayonnaise that is made from eggs rather than with eggs any more. I have turned to avocado oil mayonnaise, myself. It's very expensive, unfortunately. In my case, I don't use mayo very often, so it works out okay. If you do use it a lot, I would suggest looking into making your own from fresh eggs (if you can find them these days!) There are tons of recipes online and some frens here have even posted their own homemade mayonnaise recipes, here. It's easy to make, apparently. Good luck and if you ever find one made from eggs I hope you'll let us know. Lots of us here would appreciate that info.
The original Crisco I am familiar with was lard (rendered pig fat). Lots of folks are saying that lard isn't very good for you. The health conscience are going for ghee or beef tallow. The though is the animals with multiple stomachs eliminate a lot of the chemicals and poisons from our environment whereas the single stomach animals end up storing some of those poisons in their fat.
Lard isn’t good for you. Pork isn’t good for you. They had to advertise it for a reason. God said not to eat it for a reason. Pigs eat all sorts of dead and toxic stuff. They don’t sweat or remove the toxins, it just gets stored in the fat.
They also host a TON of parasites. The demons asked to be cast into the swine.
Do you also abstain from crabs, lobster, shrimp and clams and oysters? In biblical times, sewage went into the sea. The bottom feeders ate it. I won't eat Asian shell fish. Have no problem with what comes out of chinquteque. .
I honestly don’t worry too much about lard, or I’d never be able to eat out, but won’t eat the flesh outright. Don’t use it at home though. I guess lard is still “the flesh”, but they’d probably use a worse alternative if they didn’t use it, so eeeh.
I’m looking forward to trying my hand at making tallow. Ghee just… doesn’t work for me, flavorwise, and olive oil is hard to keep at proper temperature on my stove, and while I may agree with Julia Childs, everyone always seems to complain about butter.
Sin is sin, fren. I’ll grant you it’s a “lesser matter”, but look at it this way, if a man is seeking to receive the King, is he going to smear the goo from the inside of his garbage disposal all over the walls, or plaster tumors and worms to the dinner table?
Still, you’re free to take it lightly if you want. Most Christians ignore this one, and unbelievers could care less, which is why for both cases I’m explaining it in a practical manner.
The way sin works is.. when you don’t do it, you get a better outcome.
I prefer to approach this from a pragmatic angle because it’s much more obvious - to the point that even an atheist should be able to accept it, while remaining atheist, imho. (Though it certainly seems to me to provide evidence that the wisdom to know this was given from elsewhere)
It’s naturally true from a scriptural approach as well if other verses are taken in context and other potential meanings of that verse are looked into.
Pastors will say this is all being legalistic. I suspect that being legalistic is more likely deciding that you can divorce your wife over an argument or a lack of emotion simply because an unelected city regulator at the tax office says it’s perfectly ok now, but they’re fine with not pointing that out. Maybe it’s because they became ordained ministers by filling out that holy $25 ministerial application form at city hall.
Not these days. When I was growing up, we had a slop jar in the kitchen where food scraps and table scraps went. Those were taken out to "slop the hogs." Pork was eaten sparingly. Now hogs are fed a grain diet.
Lard is the gold standard in UK, German and French cuisine, Oh and in Chinese and Ukrainian and Russian cuisine, too. People say pork is not good for you, but that depends. Some people have a religious objection, some do not. Furthermore, some people cannot digest it. They simply feel quasy and sore tummy-ish. Go ahead and avoid it. But.
For people who can eat it, it is a delicious variation to endless beef, just as chicken, or fish is. Pork is high in different minerals than beef, hence the variation comment. So why ban eating lard in a fast food store? Most people love it. A religious objection is not enough to ban it- sell a kosher version if necessary - and they can use tallow, if they want. But why soybeans or rapeseed? That's poor-food.
But some of us are happy to have moare for ourselves. Why should we not have lard-fried chips? I would travel many miles to taste it. Or molten lard whupped into a Hollandaise? Or a home-made gravy. Oh my lord I am salivating. Lardy-cakes, made with ride-flour. As a special treat, even. Trust me there is a yuuuuge difference.
I think the parasite thing should be taken with a grain of salt in this day and age of antibiotics and live-stock vets. Furthermore, we are talking about fat. Parasites don't really reside there - more likely in the digestive tract, in which case the animal would not be fat anymore.
For sure, avoid raw pork meat in dodgy third-world. Not me, I'll get the frozen bacon flown in, anyway. But then, wash your veg in food-grade bleach too, just saying, and boil water for everything, before gravity filtering it.
I'm not against eating lard. I have some in the cabinet right now. I was just pointing out that some don't eat for more than just the religious reasons.
I am of the opinion the Bible was set down as a guide, and a lot of what is in regards to food was to try to keep people healthier. I think the reason pork was on the list of forbidden foods may have had more to do with the infestation in pigs of the trichina parasites and brucellosis. I'm not sure brucellosis was a big problem back then, but it is in most of the feral hog population of the US now.
Even today folks just need to make sure they are cooking pork well done.
I do agree it makes everything taste better as does beef tallow. When I am doing keto I like to start the morning with eggs and pork belly. That fat tastes great and is great for keeping you burning your own fat in ketosis.
I try to advocate against pork where I can and when it’s a relevant topic, because I’m thoroughly convinced it’s one of the causes contributing to many of our problems, but banning it would still be bad.
One of the attributes God endowed us with is free will, that we might choose him freely. Christians, and otherwise, would likely do well to remember that they are not above their Creator. I am not against having godly in government at all, but it can’t be done stupidly or there will be a justifiable backlash.
Now discouraging it through certain means, or enthusiastically promoting good alternatives? Isn’t everyone doing that? We are watching Trump use acceptable tactics to do things quickly right now, and even the constitution itself was drawn heavily from the Bible, so it clearly can be done. Just can’t be stupid about it.
But why soybeans or rapeseed? That's poor-food.
100%. That crap should be … I don’t honestly know how to ban things in a society of free men, but whatever the strongest method is, this crap is pure poison. Murder is “banned”, so however that works, lawfully.
I think the parasite thing should be taken with a grain of salt in this day and age of antibiotics and live-stock vets.
There are at least 5 different safety mechanisms named in this thread just to make pork edible without significant risk of bad things happening - bleach the meat, feed it only grain, regular antibiotics, regular antiparasitics, cook it thoroughly, etc. When I say that I believe even an atheist should avoid pork, there are still other aspects such as the pig not sweating, the pig still being able to eat any sort of trash that may happen to go it’s way, no additional stomach filtration into its flesh.
Anyone who wants to continue eating it should certainly be free to do so, but I also pretty firmly believe these two memes are in play…
I am of the opinion the Bible was set down as a guide, and a lot of what is in regards to food was to try to keep people healthier.
This.
One of the big goals of the enlightenment was to create a means by which men could still be moral with God out of the equation. It stands to question why they would be concerned with removing God yet retaining a veneer of His morality. Anyway long story short blah blah blah Kant blah blah French Revolution blah guillotines blah blah modernism blah blah blah there are no genders aaaaand it clearly doesn’t work, so I always recommend being careful about endorsing Nietzsche’s “God is dead” and asserting that science has replaced the need to humbly listen to His guidance.
Fwiw, I do agree that pork is thankfully safer today than in the past, but would stop at calling it “safe”, full stop, or “good”. “Tasty”, sure.
To be fair, it is hard to ban anything food related. Furthermore, everyone is different, and some cannot eat certain things, just so others can. Note the Jack Sprat nursery rhyme. That's how populations consume food. So we ought to 'buyer beware' and look for good sources, make it ourselves, etc. etc.
But, then we must, in National Health government policies, de-propagandize commercials and tainted FDA directives that claim, for example, [checks food pyramid] that 'whole grains' are best, and 'fats' are to be minimized. From personal experience: Fat is the most important food -choose wisely and eat as much as you like - it is the only nutrient that is self-limiting - if you find yourself craving it, you need it. I used to crave butter straight from the fridge when fed marg at the table every day, when I was a kid.
Protein is next: IF you don't have enough, your muscles don't work and hurt a lot - some people start losing weight, even, but not in a good way. It is important for healing.
Carbs, including vegetables and fruit should be occasional treats, or flavours, if they don't trigger allergies. And trust me, I got so ill from food pyramid fill-up-itis, and then cutting out the things that triggered my allergies, that I ended up eating ONLY meat and lettuce. In the end, the lettuce was just a chore to chew. All other veg and grains were driving me nuts. Literally. Every other veg made break out in hives. i felt betrayed to the core.
I am better now, but only eat white rice as a 'grain', and the occasional mushroom - for 'carbs'. Take thy 'brown rice' and shuv it. AND people will try and lecture.
When we flip the money pyramid and the hierarchy pyramid, we’ll be sure to flip the door pyramid too.
“it is hard to ban anything food related”
I’d say it’s hard to ban anything that is hard to be detected and can’t be centrally controlled from its sources. I’m generally against trying to do it, too. It should probably be either very serious, or a violation of natural law. This whole “make businesses report everything they do” thing needs to either go away or be decentralized and voluntary or something along those lines.
I’d still support trying to figure out some way to ban unnecessary soy.
Don't think there's a general consensus about fats at all.
But coconut oil is the most saturated of easily available vegetable oils, so it's closest to animal fats in terms of energy storage by volume, which is better for us.
Which one is the right one is a tougher question, and varies by food and technique. I have avocado and olive oil, ghee, tallow, and coconut oil on my list.
I used to buy wheat germ oil to put on the feed for some of my stock, and then the product name changed to wheat germ oil blend. When you read the ingredients the first one listed was soy bean oil, and since it was an animal product they didn't list the percentages of the oils so I could have been 99% soy bean oil.
The thing is all the seed oils are being shown as terrible for humans. They aren't called soy boys for no reason. The seed oils are a driving factor behind the increase in metabolic diseases in America.
Funny thing, I was just in the Philippines last year and none of their vegetable oil is soy, it's all palm from what I saw. Soy makes me sick so I constantly check for that ingredient
They are continually poisoning us with something somehow. Almost every item I pick up at the grocery reads 'genetically modified'. Seems there is no escaping.
I hope frens here are paying attention to how much soybean oil is pushed into the American diet. Like high fructose syrup, it seems to be in almost everything. Mayonnaise is generally made from it these days, as well as most salad dressings. Be sure to check labels, frens. We want you healthy!

Soy beans make soy males. Keep that crap away from me.
Like Mountain Dew will cause yer rocks to shrink... KEK
Mountain Dew, is called necter of the tards.
I can’t hardly find organic mayonnaise made from eggs! It’s avocado mayonnaise or soybean mayonnaise.
1 room temp egg yolk, 1 cup avocado oil, 1 tbsp vinegar Add egg and vinegar to mason jar Slowly pour in oil Place immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar covering the yolk. Blend on high while lifting up taking about 10 seconds. Salt to taste. Best mayonnaise ever.

Ooof
Nice! I will try that.
Whiskey? I am trying this one. Thank you.
Very good with asparagus dredged through tiny dipping bowls.... or on top of eggs and ham.
Oh I have been a fan of hollandaise for years. Little bit of wine, a few herbs and it's devine bearnaise.

LOL A Vodka advocat?
Try full fat Greek yogurt instead of mayo, it's delicious and healthy!
In the 80's I worked in a food factory and they used eggs, oil, and vinegar along with some spices. I'm not sure what the oil was.
I bottled and canned soda, and they went from all sugarcane in 81 to all corn syrup in 91 gradually changing the percentages.
Big Red used to be sooooo much better. There are some designer pure cane sodas now that taste that way again.
In the Philippines I think they are using sugarcane at least in some areas. It's a bigger crop than corn there.
You can get Pepsi w cane sugar
Make your own. It's easy and sort of fun. Look for a recipe online at Food.com or other places.
Will do!
Hellmanns
It used to be made from eggs, but not any more.
Just looked at the label...it has soy bean oil but also eggs

Do you also abstain from crabs, lobster, shrimp and clams and oysters? In biblical times, sewage went into the sea. The bottom feeders ate it. I won't eat Asian shell fish. Have no problem with what comes out of chinquteque. .
And Catfish, correct.
Thankfully I never liked pork much, but shrimp and squid were hard to give up. It’s for the best, though.
I honestly don’t worry too much about lard, or I’d never be able to eat out, but won’t eat the flesh outright. Don’t use it at home though. I guess lard is still “the flesh”, but they’d probably use a worse alternative if they didn’t use it, so eeeh.
My mother used it because that's what was available. Crisco was newfangled and expensive. Jews use chicken fat for flavor. I use butter and olive oil.
I’m looking forward to trying my hand at making tallow. Ghee just… doesn’t work for me, flavorwise, and olive oil is hard to keep at proper temperature on my stove, and while I may agree with Julia Childs, everyone always seems to complain about butter.
Tallow better work!
Forgive me father for I have sinned. I ate a Boston Butt that I smoked for 13 hours and it was GOOD.

I recall being told as a kid not to pick and eat soybeans - they aren't good for humans.
Time Magazine ran an article in the 90’s about how soy was a “miracle food” that was going to save “The World™”.
I haven’t been able to find it yet, but I’m gonna. They were bragging.
Is the general consensus that coconut oil is good?
It's the only oil I use and Dr. Berg speaks highly of it.

Don't EVER buy or use soybean oil.
Frens don’t let frens use soy.
Had tuna sandwich w tallow fries last nite....fine
They are continually poisoning us with something somehow. Almost every item I pick up at the grocery reads 'genetically modified'. Seems there is no escaping.
GMO is infuriating.
Here in the UAE I buy extra virgin coconut oil and Tunisian extra virgin olive oil.
The olive oil is nearly $30 for 2L, but this is less than Dr. Gundry charges for Moroccan oils.
Soybeans are a vegetable. What's the problem?
Most soybeans are genetically modified.
^this too
