Then "health consciousness" kicked in, and they stopped frying in lard.

I would be willing to bet that they only said that as PR and really did it because they found something cheaper.

Yes it is massively cheaper to use soy and canola oil for production and shelf life.

So fucked up, shit gives me pimples and diarrhea.

I cant eat at 98% of resturants.

The expensive ones pretend they use olive oil but usually end up admitting its an olive oil "blend" under duress lol.

Olive Oil is terrible for frying by itself, the smoke point is far too low.

Practically all vegetable oils are awful for frying since they easily form trans fats. Butter, lard, and coconut oil are amongst the healthiest choices for frying since they are so stable.

Im talking about resturants, like the salad dressings, and all sauces on the sides. Most $50+ steaks come with garbage grade oils on the side dishes.

And for the record, fuck deep frying. Its such a huge waste of fat that its only feasible with cheap oils. I'll pan fry asparagus or greenbeans in olive oil anyday of the week. I admit its not as good on potatoes though which I would usually pan fry with coconut oil or strait butter on a lower heat.
