(My grandmother still insisted on using lard. And she lived to be 92). Now, I use butter, when I use anything like that at all. (I don't make pie crust; it seems pointless to make a pie for just one person.) I use olive oil for liquid-fat needs. But I'm expecting SOME nutrition-nanny to come out sometime soon declaring that if you use olive oil, you "might as well jump off a bridge" or some similar hyperbole. And then where will I be? (Why do people, when they report nutrition-related news, seem so given to hyperbole: "A heart attack on a plate." "You might as well jump off a bridge." "Worse than smoking is for you" "Food porn") And I, growing up in a nominally-health-concerned household in the 1970s, am probably doomed, seeing as Parkay was what we had at table, and pie crust was made with Crisco.
