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)

I started using an app called Yuka. Works great especially with my eyes going to shit trying to read the ingredients.

The font on printed labels is getting smaller and smaller. My eye sight is changing for sure as well, but it's retardedly small now. Even on stuff that's healthy like vitamins. It's almost as if they know they're hiding poison. I can read the warning on a pack of cigs across the room. Curious as to the small font size. Medication as well as far as directions and side effects. One reason why I stopped taking OTC meds.
