And marshmallows!? WTF? Who does that? emotion_8c
I use Crisco in everything-- veggie shortening. It is so much healthier.

The people in my family are weird.
And never take me into consideration when they make things because I'm the only one in my entire family with an aversion to animal byproducts.
And it's actually better to use vegetable oils wherever possible; fats that are solid at room temperature are inherently worse for you than those that are liquid.
But I know a lot of things you can't just switch out like that without ruining consistency/texture and whatnot.
SCIENCE IS WEIRD.

I don't understand why companies in America have all these weird chemicals that other countries don't have.
The UK has banned most of them and found much healthier substitutions for them.
I did a big project last year about chemicals that should be banned and it is ridiculous about what some of the stuff they put in sports drinks and candy and stuff.
Brominated vegetable oil.
It's in about every soft drink you can think of in the US.
And guess what?
It's banned in basically EVERY. SINGLE. COUNTRY.
Excluding ours, of course.
It's apparently a pretty horrid substance.
And artificial dyes...
I'm allergic to most of them, so I don't come in contact with them terribly often, but you'd be surprised at the harm they can do, and the vast amount of things in which they're used...
Which is so odd, considering you can color things just as well using NATURAL substances, like carrot and beet juice.
I feel like the approach of the US goes something along the lines of "LOGIC. You won't be needing that here."
