Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hello, I will be trying to make some pork lard from fat very soon (as per the recipe on this site) once I find a good source of pork fat. My local butcher is ordering some in for me but I forgot to ask whether the animals were fed soy. I don't think many people care very much but I would assuming that eating this would be detrimental to my health. I was wondering if you can detect whether an animal has been fed soy by boiling the meat and looking at the fat. In soy-based chickens, for instance, I noticed the liquid oil that rises to the surface has a much different texture, is more dense and a darker shade of yellow. After eating, I would notice my inner ears would be congested as opposed to eating the better kind. I wonder if the same could apply to pork fat. Could one potentially see that the toxins that are skimmed off of the water surface (when boiling) were potentially soy-based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
