Poor the bacon grease in a jar. Put the jar in the refrigerator.

When that jar is full, start another jar.

Repeat process for about two years, and then clean out the refrigerator and throw them all out. Start over. Wink

Oh, and another good use for bacon grease is bear repellent. grin

yeah you smear it on your buddy's tent so the bears are drawn to them
instead of your tent

Use the bacon grease for a fair's greased-pig contest, just to be ironic. Inform PETA. grin

And I just made a batch of homemade mayonnaise.

Let's see...

We've got the oil. That will kill you.

We've got the egg. That will kill you.

We've got the egg, which is possibly infected with salmonella. That will make you very sick. Or kill you.

I hear it works best if you rub it all over your body and then run through the woods to disperse the smell.

Good Lord! I can feel my arteries clogging up just READING this thread. That noise you hear is the little bit of blood still squeaking it's way through what's left of them. shocked

I feel like I should double up on the Crestor now... laugh

I DO recall a guy I knew who thought the world of frying his spaghetti in bacon grease. He called it "fried spaghetti", if you can believe that. grin

Yeah, that's the current THEORY.

A few years ago the then-current THEORY was that butter was Satan's Solid Loin Juice and that margerine and Crisco were actually healthy.

What's it going to be next year?

As I noted above, every couple of years the latest "health information" changes dramatically. Coffee has swung back and forth several times since the 1980s.

Red wine? Same thing.

A little bacon grease, some flour, pinch of baking powder, a little elbow grease, and ... VIOLA ... tortillas fit for a king!

Milk. Is it bad? Is it good? How much water are we supposed to drink a day?

MechAg94 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 27, 2007, 12:59:05 PM »

Milk is good in moderation. Just don't over do it.

Commercial milk is loaded with growth hormones. That's why we have 200 lb third graders. Look around you, people are getting huger by the year.

Yep it's the hormones, not the sedentary Nintendo- and internet-laden lifestyles, oversized dietary portions, and parents feeding them soft drinks and Twinkies to shut them up that does it.

BHG (bovine growth hormones) and HGH (human growth hormones) have different protein structures so cross-species sensitivity is virtually nil. Just as bovine semen will not fertilize a human egg, neither will BGH effectively fill the roll of HGH in the human body. Plus, BGH is a protein and proteins are broken down in the digestive tract anyway. Even if there were large amounts of BGH present in beef there is little chance of it ever making it past your gut, and what might reach the bloodstream is not compatible with human physiology.

Bingo. I drank 4-6 glasses of milk pretty much each day when I was a kid, and never was overweight.

On the other hand, my parents didn't let me drink soda except on very rare occasions and I could probably count on one hand the number of times I ate Twinkies when I was a kid.

RadioFreeSeaLab · « **Reply #42 on:** June 27, 2007, 01:26:11 PM »

I never ate twinkies as a kid, and I never do as an adult. I do enjoy my Coke though...and mexican food...damn that mexican food.

American milk -that contains BGH-is banned in Europe and Canada, for a variety of reasons. It's only allowed here because Monsanto (the maker of BGH) would lose billions otherwise.

Non of which is BGH, which the Canadian "food police" have already stated is not a problem for humans. It's use there was banned due to animal welfare concerns.

So, you acknowledge that it causes mastitis, infertility and lameness in animals, yet is 'safe' for humans....

Nope, just said that the Canadian govt banned it because of animal welfare concerns.

Using the above logic we wouldn't be eating chocolate or raisins, both of which can be toxic to canines. And the AIDS virus, which is uniformly fatal to humans, is no more lethal to chimpanzees than a common cold is to us. The "causes X in animals so it must cause it in humans" argument is both invalid and irrelevant in this case.

Ditto. I consumed record quantities of milk as a child and teenager and was always on the light side of average. I still down a little more than 2 gallons (skim) a week with zero problems maintaining my weight (still on the light side).

BGH wasn't in use until 1993. Believe what you will. If you think consuming foods loaded with hormones and antibiotics are a good thing, have at it. Those chemicals are used only to increase profits. There is no consideration whatsoever for human health.

cosine · « **Reply #49 on:** June 27, 2007, 02:08:35 PM »

And I was only 5 years old in 1993. I did plenty of milk consuming and growing during the years that BGH was in use.
