When it comes to choosing an oil or fat for cooking your food, you'd be forgiven for thinking sunflower oil may be a healthier alternative to lard.

I have said this since becoming ill
I don't think I have enough fat in my diet and I remembered as a child when everything was cooked in lard.

Interesting, I don't believe in low fat diets, unless you are fat intolerant because of illnesss

It really doesn't help people when they banish one food then another and then tell you it's good for you a deal adequate later when you are now eating ghte wrong thing! I will just eat what I want and do it in moderation
