I am hoping to get our pigs before hit-the-fan time, so we can grow our own fat. We both grew up on baking and deep-frying with lard, and there is nothing like it. Incidentially, I am now 79, and my blood vessels are 95% plaque free. (Made my doctor very angry when I refused statin drugs, before he found that out.) My husband's family, and he, are cursed with a big cholestrol/plaque problem, and I helped him recover completely from congestive heart failure with EDTA capsules. It is such an inexpensive miracle substance.
