Who knew that lard was actually good for you.

@snaps81625 Depending on how you source it, it can be! I use only organic, free ranged pork.

So any pig fat.. doesn't fat hold the hormones and crap they feed them??

Alton didn't look like he thought it was the best thing in the world xD His facial expression seemed to tell otherwise!

@gmt903 Looking back, he never really got fat, but at the time, there were a few seasons where he was gaining a little bit, and there was a general worry that it would continue until he was unhealthy,

[gmt903]

@kiminokami Thanks! That makes sense.... I didn't realize he made a conscious effort to lose weight. I don't think he looked bad before, but if he didn't feel healthy then he didn't feel healthy. I'll have to look for that episode.

@gmt903 GMT, don't worry about what Void said. It's not true and he is just making an anti-American statement. The real reason is that he put himself on a diet instead of eating everything he made and making everything he likes. He cut out a lot of food from his normal diet and put in exercise that he wasn't doing before. He made a Good Eats episode about that.
