Crisco & electrific​ation.............from Rico

The electrification of America had many consequences, most of the good, and it took some ingenuity to overcome the obsolescence of an industrial product and turn it into a new profit center. Crisco was 'born' and marketed to the public which bought all the Madison Ave propaganda about this 'new' product.

The compound 'crisco' had mainly been used in the manufacture of candles until a new use had to be found for it.

I remember how my Grandmothers simply could NOT cook without it.

Since we are what we eat, I wonder how many people Crisco has killed to date?
- Crisco really is much worse for you than the olive oil or butter it replaced. It may have been the 'first' faux food foisted upon us, but it wasn't the last.
