If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. Also, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
Rice and refried beans for me! (my cholesterol is high)
Just be sure to scrutinize the ingredients in those refried beans. A lot of them contain lard.
Also, don’t forget to include as many dark leafy greens in those rice and beans, which will help a lot in lowering cholesterol.
What’s wrong with lard?
It is a healthy source of nutrients and beat chemically treated oil every day health and flavour wise.
ethically speaking, lard being derived from pigs makes it automatically wrong to use, as well as being a contributor to the environmental and zoonitic disease problems that are inherent in animal agriculture.
But even purely from a health standpoint, lard is absolutely not healthy. It’s extremely high in saturated fats making it one of the worst choices for anyone trying to manage their heart health.
And don’t even start with that seed oil pseudoscientific fad nonsense. That garbage is thoroughly debunked.

You don’t know what you are talking about.
Lard is healthy food that has been used for thousands of years. Super dense in nutrients and can be used as foundation of a healthy diet. You are relying on big industry research partially funded by big seed pil manufacturers among other clowns. Also, it is fucking animal fat of course it will have saturated fat jfc child
Nothing wrong with seed oil per se. The issue is the extract method hence why specified “chemically treated oil e”
Here I am specifically talking about hexane which how vast majority of oil is made. It is the cheap shit sold in processed foods and other slop.
Lard is better than this processed trash every time. People should not be consuming oil this way.
I dropped authoritative sources, and you’re just spouting conspiracy theories. Reality isn’t whatever you want it to be.
Your source didn’t disprove my thesis re seed oil. Which part is the conspiracy theory, please clarify.
What your sources for the lard claim?
As side note, providing link to support a factually incorrect claims is not W
