Comment on Mmm kale

Huh, I’ve been working under the impression this whole time that coconut oil is made of monounsaturated fat. That impression comes from watching some cooking shows that one time and thus might be incorrect.
Another thing about coconut oil compared to lard: You don’t have to take a band saw to a pig in order to make it.

It’s absolutely healthier than animal fat, never mind the lack of cruelty! I wasn’t too sure anymore after your comment, so I looked it up, and it seemed that yeah, pretty saturated. I personally just use margarine even though it’s trans fats, because the amount I use won’t harm me much and it doesn’t require animals or being shipped from overseas. A little coconut oil definitely won’t kill you either!
