I beg to differ:

* It's good for seasoning cast iron.

* It's one of the best frying media for doughnuts -- and if you're frying up
a batch of doughnuts, healthy food is probably not high on your list of
priorities anyway.

* It's good for revitalizing dried-out wooden kitchen accessories like
cutting boards, wooden salad bowls, steak knife handles, and wooden spoons.

* It's good for lubricating the gears of sausage stuffers and meat grinders.
