A significant portion of that 30 gallons comes from the fast food and eating out that we do way too much of annually.

That, and almost everything prepackaged at the grocery store has seed oils in it - soybean oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, palm oil, etc. Even "dry" products like gravy mixes, etc.

I use olive oil spray to keep the cooking pan not sticking

is that bad?

---

Olive oil is one of the better oils, but using a spray, make sure it ONLY contains olive oil. Also, olive oil is more meant for using at room temperature, as heating it can bring out more Omega 6, which is inflammatory. Also, you want cold pressed. If it has been heated at any time during extraction, it will have more Omega 6.

Avocado oil or coconut oil are better for cooking with. Or use beef tallow, lard, or ghee (clarified butter). Or you can just use a small pat of butter if cooking at low enough temperatures to not burn it.

I'm just hoping for McDonald's fries cooked in beef tallow like when I was a kid!

---

I believe Buffalo Wild Wings fries their stuff in beef tallow.

And Steak & Shake will be converting all restaurants to beef tallow in the next year.

---

I haven't eaten french fries from a fast food joint in decades

what are they made with now?

---

Most are sprinkled with sugar and then fried in an oil of some sort - canola is probably the most common because it is the cheapest. But it is usually some sort of vegetable oil or blends of vegetable oils.

If you want fries that are phenomenal, use duck fat. Game changer.

---

Duck fat is delicious.

Steak and shake has announced they'll be cooking its fries in beef tallow by the end of February. May have to try that.

---

Where can you buy duck fat?

Also, I didn't realize Steak and Shake was still in business. I think all the ones around me have closed.

How does it compare to goose fat? We cooked a goose for Christm one year, and the amount of fat that came from it was immense.

Beef tallow is also good. Not as rich as duck fat, but still good. Grass fed tallow also is among the lowest in linoleic acids, which are a big trigger in inflammatory issues that a shocking number of people have.

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2023/07/17/linoleic-acid.aspx

I switched over to using tallow as my primary cooking oil. Food tastes better. Hell, i fried my thanksgiving turkeys in beef tallow this year and I won't be going back to cotton seed or peanut oil again.

Also - tallow doesn't go rancid. Neither does lard. It can be used over and over and over again for just about ever without any issue.

And if you really want to up your game - render your own beef tallow on the smoker when you throw a brisket or tri-tip on there. Smoked beef tallow is amazing.

Tallow, lard, real butter - all are actually good for you. In moderation, just like anything else. Things that aren't particularly good for you - margarine, seed oils, sugar, highly processed food. Basically everything we have been taught about food since about 1970 has been absolutely and utterly wrong.

Even if you buy bottle olive oil, unfortunately there is no standard here that requires manufacturers/bottlers to actually state on the label that it is 100% olive oil or not. So a whole lot of the "olive" oils out there on store shelves contain a pretty high percentage of other oils, which is crap to me.

I want to say that in places like Greece, Italy, Spain, etc. they are required to have accurate information on thigs like this on the labels. I might be wrong on that but pretty positive I've read that a few times here and there.

This was back in 2015 - https://nclnet.org/evoo_testing/

If you google "fake olive oil" you'll get a few thousand articles about it. It is amazing that we can't get a whiskey approved for sale without a year review by the FDA on the label, but things like this don't even register on their radar.

I think she was making a good point but is what she alleging happened. Has an HHS employee changed a law to open a loophole and then left to use that loophole to sue?

---

She's never made a good point in her life. She has the most punchable face in the Senate.

---

Sorryhe's made a lot of money doing what he does. For him to not commit to separating his influence from his business was odd. It should have been an easy thing to do.

---

That's not what she asked. She was basically asking him to promise that he wouldn't practice law for four years after leaving office.

---

She asked if he'd not sue over vaccines. She didn't say don't practice law at all!

He has tons of environmental cases he does. But doesn't get that nice contingency fee on those!

BTW, he's well in his rights to to agree!
