LOL! Actually, when our doctor said that, I think he was referring mostly
to lard and solid vegetable shortenings like Crisco.

I don't think so. Meat fats (not just lard), margarine and butter are
all high in saturated fats. Lard has an undeserved bad reputation.


The lard available at the grocery store is crap. I use real lard from freshly killed hogs. Nothing in it but pork fat. It is ultimately more healthy than shortening.

....and it pours at room temp here in Floriduh. <G>
