The wiki page says there are food-grade paraffins available, usually called mineral oil
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraffin
When you go to the Mineral Oil page, it says:
It is sometimes used in the food industry (particularly for candy). Some studies suggest that prolonged use might be unhealthy because of low accumulation levels in organs. It has been discouraged for use in children's foods, though it is still occasionally found in candies in China and Canada.

Check out the "Also Known As" list - would you really want to ingest this stuff?

DO NOT TRY THIS. The damage to your digestive system can be overwhelming to your body. Paraffin oil can cause serious problems with digestive acids, your body's ability to absorb nutrients from the intestines, as well as aggravate problems like ulcerative colitis, gastritis, and other ulcerative conditions.

I don't like the tone of your question and have decided to just forgive you for the mocking and mean treatment of Vietnam Vets. I lived for three years in a bamboo cage on my knees. I was eventually released by a sweep that was done by the military. I am now permanently disabled and I used to be fabuloous ball room dancer. Ahh those days are all over. Remember to be kind and friendly to everyone online for you do not know who has served and been beaten by the Viet Cong while living as a prisoner. Thanks

Yes, you can. Simply melt the shortening prior to measuring for your recipe. A glass cup with spout is ideal and it takes about 50 seconds in a microwave on 100% power to melt 1/2 C..

Follow the 80/20 rule, which means eating clean 80 percent of times and indulging a little 20 percent of that time period.

both are roughly the same except when it comes to protein. EVERY veggies include a respectable amount of protein; fresh fruit does not.

The definition of fresh fruit has different meanings depending on context.
