lard
does eating it really make you fat or is that just a myth?

It makes you fat because it is fat.

Since we are talking about lard; I like to cook my eggs with bacon lard.
It sounds pretty gross

there's kind of a lot of problematic configurations of trans fat in it when processed at home, owing to batch sizes and temperature constraints.

otherwise it doesn't provide a whole lot of nutrition besides calories and fats that are mostly good for caloric processing. easy to eat wrong if this is a major component of your diet, causing you to eat more of unrelated foods to try and extract the nutrients you need.

however, the skinniest populations most prone to heart disease do eat a lot of lard and veggies. one aspect of anti-vegan propaganda was claiming beans were nutritionally similar and posed similar problems owing to their fat compositions. then rice. then bread. then einkorn, ferro, and pretty much all types of grains.

truly, the only way to be skinny is to starve yourself with constant caloric deprivation. don't worry though; this isn't accessible to just anyone. the vast majority of people become fat due to starvation, nutritional deficiencies caused by starvation, and bloating from under eating causing increased volumetric load and thus greater muscle mass and size. as such, only a handful of likely phage-infected individuals will ever be 'skinny' for any length of time.

Too tired to eat

go to sleep and break your fast fast by eating breakfast once you wake up is my advice. don't eat it fast though, you might choke. do it slowly and carefully.
Makes your arteries fat.

mine are already fat, you can see them through my skin. so if i eat a big big bucket of lard, will my arteries blow up...?
All things in moderation.

A little in the bread dough or masa won't hurt. Don't add it to your tea like a weirdo.

lard is actually an acronym

L - lusciously
A - appetising
R - really
D- delicious

lavish and rad dish.

it's made from pigs because they're a high volatility meat stock and lard keeps. you can make it out of other fats instead. like soy. though, for some people, soy can present a nutritional challenge owing to the calcium content. this can be resolved in lard processing, but it would challenge several key industries like acrylic paint mixing and I think crayons. as well as the usual challenges to meat and its overcompensation.

yes, that's sort of the problem.

i think the acronym should remind people of the danger involved.
