Crisco

But to get yours nice and brown, do you, I'm just curious, do you heat up the oil first? Yes.

Just a touch, like Crisco, like cooking oil.

I usually use olive oil.

Or olive oil.

It gets all done, and I look at Jerry, and Jerry said, I didn't know God was a shortening? A shortening?

Crisco.

Crisco odds.

Grab the can.

Grab the can.

I'm, I'm good.

What kind of oil did you bring? [laughs] Uh, I brought Crisco.

[laughs] Baby oil.

[laughs] Crisco.

[laughs] What's that for? Lard.

You cut the lard? [laughs] Remember how your grandma used to [laughs]...

Oh, my grandma, yeah, my parents, my nannies.

Like Crisco.

You don't really get trans fats from natural sources.

The reason margarine works, and Crisco is maybe the first example of this, is that if you get these plant-based fats, the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, they're liquids.

And people didn't want to put liquids... on their toast, right? They wanted to spread something on their toast.

And so what Crisco, what the good people at Procter & Gamble figured out in 1911 is that they could take cottonseed oil, which was a liquid, and they could hydrogenate it to make those double bonds back into single bonds.

So they would saturate the unsaturated fat.

And that's what hydrogenated vegetable oil or whatever is.

That process made Crisco solid and shelf-stable, right? So now you've got, instead of a drizzly oil, you've got something you can spread or whatever you want to do with.

And margarine was exactly the same.

[laughs] And barrier, um, I like good moisturizers, simple moisturizers.

And if you do have a patient who likes to be all natural, Crisco even is a good moisturizer.

Crisco.

Okay.

Even beef tallow if they wanna, if they wanna do that.

It's got to be healthy for you.

So they made Crisco and killed off, you know, hundreds of thousands of people.

This well-intentioned, oh, we got to get people off animal fats, so we'll just make these solid vegetable fats.

Well, I mean, they're even worse, right? Now, that doesn't mean saturated fats are good for you.

Um, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee.

Marcus, people obviously don't like being ripped off, otherwise why would Crisco be so popular? In the age when so much seems to have gone like Avon, Tupperware, Raleys.

Has Raleys gone? I was surprised on the weekend to hear the now unfamiliar tune of Mr.

Whippy approaching.
