Wow, David, potatoes and horse fat -- a whinnieing
combination.
When MacDs stopped using lard about a decade ago, because
of all the fuss about it, they switched to vegetable
"shortening" with beef flavoring added to try to recapture
animal fat taste -- after all, the secret to all fast food
is the fat content, the beefier the better it sells.
What's this to do with aquatic plants? Well, kelp beds are
harvested for the lecithin, a kind of vegetable fat that's
good for high temperature cooking. So it's regularly
harvested by humans right from the sea. Unfortunately, it
makes humans sweat, which is just one way the nature gets
even.
How can something that makes our bellies longer be called
"shortening?" Maybe it's the effect on our lifespans. ;-)
For the same reason we drive on parkways and park on driveways.
Recommended reading for anyone that want to go on a diet:
_Fast Food Nation_. It's bound to bridle one's enthusiasm
for fried stuff.

Have fun.
