One snippet I learned some years before I was diagnosed was that the human body knows exactly how to metabolise natural fats but that the engineered fats can cause problems. As Nina says re omega 6s and the balance needed between them and O3s, it is better to try to cut down on the one rather than to increase the other to try to balance by playing catch up.
It is the same with Stevia, they take a natural product then put it through up to 40 processes to arrive at a 'suitable' end product then advertise it as still being a natural product.

This thread seems to be rather one-sided so I would make the following observations:
All oils and fats are a mixture of saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats in different proportions. So when using lard you might be getting 39% saturated fat but you are also getting a total of 56% poly and mono unsaturated fat. Even butter, regarded by many as the holy grail, has 24% unsaturated to 51% saturated fat and even contains some trans fats.
The colours in the above chart are supposed to show the stability with heating but I don't know if heating once is a problem or only multiple heating such as in a deep fryer or a fast food restaurant. I use Rapeseed oil for shallow frying but I never use it twice. Incidentally I fry with oil because it wipes cleanly out of the pan with a kitchen towel rather than the "sludge" I would get frying in butter or lard.
As per cleaning, I allow butter or lard to come back to a solid or semi solid state then scrape it into kitchen paper and dispose of it in the bin rather than pouring it down the drain where it could possibly add to fatbergs.
The disposal of waste tbh is not uppermost in my mind, though, it is what I put in my body that I am most concerned with and as I am increasingly attempting to switch back to using more natural products that my body can metabolise more easily then the switch from man made, chemically engineered 'foodstuffs' is the way forward for me.
