You are right, the cholesterol thing is an obsession with them. My latest was 140 total.
I had no idea grape seed oil was not suitable for high heat cooking. Will go back to Olive oil, thanks!:-)
Learned a lot in this thread including "Travesty" is not a synonym for tragedy like I always thought it was. :-)
I try. I'm no expert but I care about you (and everybody else here).
The thing about grape seed oil is it's really great uncooked, like as a salad dressing. I sometimes use it with BBQ under low heat. It just doesn't survive the high heat and can possibly be toxic. [Reply]

Due to your post I googled it and there is a lot of information out there about it. It has some really good qualities but I guess the main issue is the chemical often used to harvest it having left over residue. It should say on the bottle how it was produced, but I have already discarded ours in favor of a dispenser.
Our recent trip to Sam's I picked up a new quart of Olive oil and holy crap has that ever gotten expensive. :-) [Reply]
We've gone off topic however most seed oils are not healthy. Anyone remember when McD's fries were fried in beef tallow? Those were some tasty fries. [Reply]

Furthermore, do you know fully what is in those mass produced taco shells? They could very well be "heart healthy" and still be poison. Speaking of that - you know that exposing grape seed oil to high heat, like frying, is bad right? It's edible but it's not suitable for high heat cooking.
Right. I only suggested lard because we are talking about frying tortillas, and lard has given me the best results for that over the years. I don't even have any in the house right now. I use olive oil. [Reply]

That’s unfortunate, they are hands down the best store bought taco shell. They can turn blah tacos into magic. I have 4 boxes of the 36 count on hand. [Reply]

Growth is expensive.
Success kills a lot of businesses that don't prepare for it correctly. They just know they have a lot of sales and want to have more so they try to scale up without a plan for the additional overhead and immediately find themselves buried by the debt service.
"If you're not growing, you're dying" is accurate to a point. In some cases, the growing causes the dying. Growth is important but it gotta be thought out. Sometimes the worst thing that can happen to a business is one of those massive vendor contracts that they're just not ready for. They scale up too quickly and everything falls to shit. [Reply]

Yeah, so very true! Back in the day, Sears would cripple a company with so much business they would end up taking them over.
Walmart may have had some impact here, but I did read a post, not sure how accurate, that two guys bought the company and then drained it of cash. [Reply]
