I'm increasingly frustrated at the rapeseed oil (euphemistically called "Canola" oil by Canadian producers) and palm kernel oil that seems to be in almost all food. Pretty much everything at Trader Joe's seems to have one or the other. I was even at a Russian shop in Palo Alto today (Samovar, fun place) and found the poppyseed cake my grandmother used to make - except it was with margarine instead of butter, ugh.

Which of them are worth avoiding entirely?

Here are the fats and oils I think are bad:

- margarine (which is just canola and other crap oils hardened to make them stick in your arteries better)
- canola oil
- cottonseed oil (especially bad)
- palm kernel oil

I'm undecided about these:

- soybean oil
- sunflower seed oil
- avocado oil
- coconut oil
- peanut oil

I'm sure these are pretty good for you:

- olive oil
- butter
- lard (yes, I think lard is OK to eat)

That happens naturally with ocean fish around here. Part of nature that fish turn from male to female as they age.


Happens in my reef tank. You can buy a pair of decent clownfish 'mated' for ~$150. Or you can take the risk and buy two unknowns for around $50 each and wind up with two females that fight each other. Usually the larger fish becomes female if you start out with two males. Mine are black and white (I risked it) and the female has a trace of orange like Nemo on it's lips. Like lipstick haha..
