Crisco lists it's ingredients as hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oils, mono- and diglycerides.Check out the wiki site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisco for the whole story on how it was first invented by proctor and gamble as a cheaper substitute to animal fats for making candles. It was the first all vegetable oil shortening but it was intended for making candles. When electricity became widely available the demand for candles was reduced and that's when they decided to sell it as shortening... to eat.

Well, you know it is not an element. It is made of carbon and hydrogen to start with and I haven't seen oil on the periodic table.So, we're trying to decide between compound and mixture. What is the identifying characteristic of compounds? They have definite composition.Ask yourself, "Does this stuff come out the exact same every time it's made? Can it change and still be partially hydrogentated soybean oil?" I think you can see that it is still soybean oil, regardless of how hydrogenated it is, so it does change. Therefore it cannot be a compound.That leaves mixture.
Shortening is typically made from hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as soybean, cottonseed, or palm oil. The hydrogenation process gives shortening a solid texture at room temperature, making it useful for baking and cooking.
You be the judge: According to McDonalds this is a list of the ingredients in their fries:Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*), citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent). *CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK (Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients).

No, canola oil is not a hydrogenated oil.
No. Lard is animal fat and shortening is vegetable oil that has been hydrogenated.
No. Here is an exact copy of ingredients that go into their french fries from the McDonalds website: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent).CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK *(Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients).
Hydrogenated oil is far worse.
