Seems like the time between National Lard Days is always shortening...:facepalm:

As Americans Embrace Comfort Food During the Pandemic, Observance Underscores Appeal of Animal Fat for Maximum Flavor.
Under the auspices of the Healthy Fats Coalition (HFC) and ideally timed for the holidays, today, Dec. 8, marks the third annual #NationalLardDay -- a celebration of pure lard, a traditional, authentic animal fat that is now enjoying a new heyday within America’s food culture, in restaurants, fast food operations and home kitchens.

#NationalLardDay is the brainchild of the HFC, a group of like-minded organizations, companies and individuals that have developed an educational initiative dedicated to the proposition that healthy fats aren’t merely having a moment – they’re here to stay, as an essential part of the American diet. The HFC’s mission is simple: affirm that animal fats deserve a central place in kitchen, on the table and in the popular imagination.

Reminds me of the Pure Pork Goodness.

Thanksgiving is unofficially National Lardass Day coincidentally!
 
Used initially because it was the cheap, convenient option. Interstate, the fry oil supplier for the McDonald brothers' burger stand, was too small of an operation to afford the expensive hydrogenation equipment to produce partially hydrogenated vegetable oil — the most popular frying oil at the time. Instead, Interstate provided McDonald's with a blend of 7% vegetable oil and 93% beef tallow, sourced from the stockyards of Chicago, which could extend the life of the oil without expensive equipment. It also happened to make the fries incredibly delicious.
The special beef tallow and oil blend for McDonald's fries became known as Formula 47, named after the combined cost of the restaurant's "All-American meal" at the time, which included a 15-cent burger, 12-cent fries, and a 20-cent shake. Kroc insisted that all of the McDonald's franchises use Formula 47, ensuring that the rest of the country — and eventually the world — would come to love the taste of McDonald's french fries.
