Here's how you want to rate your fats:
1. The less PUFAs the better.
2. Prefer saturated fat over mono-saturated fat (especially if you're overweight)
3. How well it handles high heat.

You niggers lard-pilled me so I went and bought some. This cost me $2.26 at Walmart, so the investment was small. I pay more than this for a pound of bottom shelf butter.
Honestly I don't give a shit about health, and I wouldn't trust anything said here regardless. 4chan is not to be trusted with science, and health information based on "studies" is a bunch of conflicting bullshit anyway. Its all okay in moderation, that's the one and only takeaway point.
That said, you idiots from the peanut gallery could still provide something useful, and that is subjective information on what tastes good. All I know at this point is refried beans are better when made using actual lard and not a substitute. What else should I use it for? The only thing on my radar are lardy potato wedges.

id say its really a subjectibe thing. lard could definitely be an acquired taste, especially if you never tried it before.
im from eastern yurup, and lard here is traditionally used a lot, but also i was raised as a city boy in modern times, so when I was a kid I was only used to the taste of butter and oils. So when I had do visit my granny's village house every summer and she used to use mainly lard for cooking, I absolutely hated it. She used to just spread it on a toast with some onions on top and make me eat that shit. But once you get used to it, and learn when and how to use it, its amazing. Nowadays I often render it myself, put in jars and just store in the fridge.I mostly use it during winter/autmun, cos it feels too heavy for the summer, but even then you can use it for something like french fries(way better tasting than when fried with any kind of oil).
That being said, its also a good entry into the world of animal fats, its definitely not as "pungent" as beef or sheep tallow. My personal favorite is duck fat, but that also needs needs some getting used to

[Anonymous No.17460982]

Added fat isn't healthy one way or another, but solid fats are particularly unhealthy. Boiling, steaming, baking and roasting should be preferred to the use of refined fats in cookery when aiming for health.

Eat local food, the less industrialised the better. Retards like that dude above saying lard is better than vegetable oils is an ignorant fat fuck and probably a burger. Idiots like him have two options:
Vegetable oils with xenoestrogens (much less dangerous than the plastic bottles they use daily)
Animal fat full of hormones and antibiotics, that also act as xenoestrogens.

Eat grass feed animals and cold pressed mineral oils (raw extra virgin olive, and canola/peanut/unsalted butter or ghee for cooking) and you are good to go.

sorry I should have posted a bigger picture. it's hexane, which has never once been tested or assessed for its effect on human health when consumed
>Hexane is a solvent widely used as an industrial cleaner and degreaser and is an ingredient in many consumer products. Easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin, hexane has been recognized for more than 40 years to cause long-lasting and even permanent nerve damage in feet, legs, hands, and arms.

they're extracted using hexane. I'm a different anon, but I dont have sources saying that they purge hexane entirely, and I wouldnt trust the notion without a source. I also dont see any benefit to using such oil, and things like cotton are exposed to a LOT of pesticides since cotton is produced for consumption, but then they also extract the oil from the seeds with similar bullshit, which only further exacerbates the potential problems

>Hexane is the solvent that is widely utilized in the process of herbal medicine and bioactive components production and oil industry. However, it may not be completely removed and hexane residue, especially more that standard limit is undesirable. In this study the content of hexane in forty samples (23 brands) of different type of vegetable oil including frying, blended, sunflower, corn, and canola oils were investigated. Although, hexane residue was determined was detected in thirty-six out of forty examined samples, hexane content was below the MRL of 1 mg/kg which set by the EU in all of oil samples.

It is more about the nutrients and fibers you are getting from plant matter than the fats and proteins. If you are making refried beans with lard they're going to taste great. Use them on a carne asada taco and have a big bowl of greens with a vinaigrette and you're set. Just sit there and eat lard all day and you're a lard ass.

I don't know why it is so hard understand. It's like you can't eat chocolate cake anymore because you had a salad. Fucking cook asparagus in bacon grease if you want but eat asparagus. Get a lot of not greasy foods to chew up all that grease and carbs. Snack on fibers as often or more than fats or animal proteins and cut out most sugars most of the time.

Or be forced into ulcerative dieting and pills twenty years earlier than you had to because you won't saute spinach in garlic and olive oil. Or put parmesan cheese on steamed broccoli, that shit is delicious. Eat it.

Whatever you want eat it with a cup of lard but get your fiber and nutrient dense plants to clear it out and support your gut.

the problem is that your body does not metabolize them properly. Modern industrially produced seed oils (which is the only way to produce them, there is "organic, local" canola oil) cause a breakdown in electron transfer within your mitochondria. They sap you of energy and your body ends up getting fatter as a result because it makes it harder for your cells to break down the food into energy. It's a big reason why obesity rates continued to rise after the 90s even though sugar consumption plummeted

[Anonymous No.17466173]

Lard is fine, but stay away from whatever lard you're finding at the grocery store. A lot of it is hydrogenated, making it worse for you. Thankfully, making homemade lard isn't very hard, and it's a great way to make use of large chunks of fat that you might not otherwise want to keep in your pork roasts.
