In America, the cooking fat you use — lard, butter, shortening, oil — has long been a signifier of health, virtue, and class. What is about fat that gets us so riled up? Reporter Adwoa Gyimah-Brempong looks at four battles over cooking fats in America over the last 150 years, starting with lard vs. Crisco, all the way to our current panic over seed oils. What do these battles tell us about food culture, and about America?
