I don't know how I missed this before either, but I swear Tony B06 must have been part of my family.

One more to add:
When lard was used for everything from frying chicken and fish to making biscuits and pie crust.

Yanno my grandmother lived to be 102, my grandfather and step grandfather in their 80s, my mother to 84, her sister in her 80s, my Dad at 81, and they all grew up on lard, butter, etc. And none of them died from heart disease. Makes you wonder what else is behind all of these modern day health issues.
