The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Apparently the Mt Etna thing is untrue, but climate "science" is still concentrated essence of bullshit. Pardon my french. CO2 levels have been orders of magnitude higher in the past, and life thrived.
Unusual reaction to number one. The problem with Crisco vs butter isn't the large number of steps to purify the oil they process out of those soybeans, the problem is the oil they're getting. Purification is good, and all those steps are purifying the oil. The problem is that polyunsaturated fats, by definition, have several unsaturated chemical bonds in each molecule, and those are easy places for other chemicals to attack the fat and make it poisonous.
And all that goes back to the myth that saturated fats, like in butter, or some of the fats in beef, are dangerous. The beef, butter or, yes, bacon drippings are far less likely to be made poisonous than the soybean oil.
I put between 20K and 30K miles on my car, commuting in mixed freeway, country, and city driving but somehow my wife, who puts about 1500 miles on her car in town knows more about how I should be driving than I do...
...There ARE flying pigs... They're called "CHICKENS." And yes, their wings ARE delicious...

Food oils:
If the oil is derived from Pressing something, it's good. If it's derived from HEATING something, it's bad. PERIOD...
