So I think I'm a convert

Australia's whole population can fit into New York, so that is a reason.

We would be glad to have you, but you would outnumber us almost 3 to 1. Even if we vacated, your accommodations might be a little cramped. Definitely bring air mattresses.

Buying Lard at the Grocery store

I read all the posts about lard and since I was at the grocery store looked at the lard on the shelve. There was only one choice and the list of ingredients are as follows:
Lard
Hydrogenated lard
BHA
Propyl
Gallate and citric acid added to protect flavor.

Is this lard ok for soap making?
Thanks

That's typical supermarket lard. It's fine to use.

Thanks I will give it a try this week.

I wouldn't eat it and I wouldn't put it on my skin because of the added chemicals but I am fussy.

I think you would have to list all those additives on your soap.

I tend to agree with you so it is sitting on my counter. It probably is ok to use lard but I think I will stick with the regular oils.
Thanks
