One of my friends got hit with this. They will have a violent allergic reaction even if they eat fries cooked in beef fat.

    What kind of maniac cooks fries in beef fat?

    That sounds like a recipe for cardiac arrest.

    That's actually extremely common. Belgian fries (the original French fries) are originally cooked in beef fat. But nowadays it's often a beef/plant based fat mix instead. It's actually quite hard to find vegan fries in Belgium.

    The alt right health grifter sphere is currently obsessed with the evils of “seed oils.” Tallow is supposed to be magically better for you.

    A couple of steps away from the raw milk drinkers and the “rebel canners.”
