Today I got in an argument about using olive oil to pan fry food, because someone at my work is going home tonight to have perogies fried in bacon fat. Fried in bacon fat left over from last night’s supper. I got snarked at because “bacon fat adds flavour”. Honestly, I am exhausted from listening to these unhealthy unfit people try to rationalize their intake of such crap. I simply asked “have you even TRIED using a healthier oil that is good for you?” the answer was a shocking “no”. Then they started talking about things fried in bacon fat, and started moaning and groaning like it was big O time. Sick! Gross! Barfffff! They don’t even realize what they are doing, saying, sounding like. After I comented on the orgasmic bacon lovin’ sounds. They said “it’s better”. Bacon fat is better than sex? Things fried in bacon fat are better than sex??? What is wrong with this world??? What kind of sex are these people having?

Please dear god help these people.  This obsession with bacon is creepy:

* All oils have different smoke points.  Olive oil is best for low/med cooking and Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best for drizzling over food.   For higher heat oil use canola or refer to this chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point
