Sales of beef tallow are skyrocketing in the U.K. ostensibly over a campaign by American politicians and others claiming cooking oils are bad for your health.

Sales of Beef Drippings Surge in Britain

Color me suspicious; could it be they are trying to ditch American grown oils and replace it with something they can get on the Continent? Is this part of the "Dump Trump" movement?

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a big advocate for dumping cooking oils.

I remember when they moved to vegetable and seed oils from beef tallow and lard. We were told how bad those were for our health. Now they are moving back to them.

My great grandmother used to cook with lard. She would go out and wring a chicken's neck, pluck it, and fry it up in lard in what seemed like fifteen minutes! (I know; it was longer.) Best fried chicken EVER! Home grown green beans and home grown mashed potatoes whipped with the butter and milk from her cows and with real white chicken gravy and home-made biscuits! I would dream about her food days before we went down to the sticks to visit! She never disappointed! And her coffee was excellent too, along with peach or cherry cobbler, hot and delicious!

Those were the good old days before the killjoys told us lard was killing us and making us obese. Now we are REALLY sick and obese and it looks like the animal fats weren't the culprit after all. Thanks a lot food nazis!

At any rate the E.U. banned many beef products from the U.S. because American farmers use hormones and antibiotics on the cattle, as well as irradiate meat. So they already have the tallow.

And as for oils, the Europeans grow almost no corn since it's too cool and wet for it to be a good crop there. Their growth of soybeans is limited too. It doesn't fare well in European soil. Ditto most of the other oil-bearing crops. So it's generally imported from either Russia or the U.S. and now the Europeans want to break with the U.S. and of course will have nothing to do with Russia. So tallow is their new go-to choice, whether they admit that or not.

Well, if the old food nazis WERE right then the Europeans should start porking out pretty soon. If not we will know we were lied to all these years by our government and their health fascism.
