Self-sufficient cooking oil

[u/constantly_grumbling]

How do you fulfill your cooking oil needs in a self-sufficient manner? Seems like there really isn't an easy way if you want it to be self-sufficient.

• This year I don't have many meat animals
• Vegetable oil is so much gottdamn work
• Butter isn't year-round for me, plus it's a lot of gottdamn work
• I'd rather not rely on bartering for oil since I want it to become a staple and not a luxury

What do you do for your cooking oil? What animals are fattiest, which vegetables produce the best, what tips or tricks have you accumulated along the way?

Agreed. Nature is brutal. If I can in my heart believe that I am giving an animal a better life and death than nature would give it, then I believe I have done a good job. I would be happy to be reincarnated as one of my own animals.

You could just not breed things just to kill them though...

If I can't make my animals' lives better each day that they're under my care, I don't get them. Simple as that.
