The French onion soup is reuben on the marble rye. Homestyle cooking is a lost art and it's so much more satisfying than restaurant slop full of seed oil. Thai we had last night was good but the only troubling thing for me was not knowing the exact ingredients they used. The beef salad looked healthy but I suspect they used a cheap oil and it had a sweet bite to it which makes me wonder what they used to sweeten it. Am I paranoid and perhaps going overboard? Yes and no.

I hear ya. I try to keep my grocery shopping to the produce, deli, bakery and meat departments these days as fresh ingredients kick the shit out of processed foods both in terms of taste and for health aspects. It's not hard to make a tomato sauce from scratch, for example, and it costs less than a good pre-made sauce as well.

As for oil, I do my level best to stay away from all vegetable oil. I'll deep fry with canola, I use peanut oil when doing Chinese, extra virgin olive oil for pan frying/searing (or butter, of course) and I'll use avocado oil for mayo, dressing etc.

Edit: oh, and bacon grease. I am 100% on board with using animal fat. A few million years of evolution can't be wrong!

My wife thinks I'm nuts because all I use is beef tallow, ghee, duck fat, olive oil and avocado oil. In the old days I trimmed the fat off of my beef, now I'm of the thinking that the more fat the better. I love chuck, rib eye and tri tip which imo have the best fat to meat content. The realization comes after you get off of all of that processed Frankenslop and go as natural and organic as you can. I'm a big believer in eggs too. On the rare occasion that I do ingest any of the chemslop they sell in grocery stores these day my body freaks out and rejects it. Sugar too. I've weened myself off of sugar to the point that I can't even eat some apples because they're too sweet. I'm all about root vegetables, dark greens and avocados now. It's been like finding the fountain of youth. In less than a year I've gone from being convinced I was dying to being convinced I'm Superman.

Thoughts on eating off of those grotesque, lead-adorned plates?

What I find most offensive is how they used to put the healthy heart symbol on all of that "one molecule removed from plastic" poison and Fat Free on highly sugared candies as if they were healthy to consume. When you think about what they've done for us, all for the sake of profit, how they've poisoned us, caused an obesity and fertility crisis and in reality ruined millions of lives. I honestly believe that the food industry along with the FDA or whoever it is that approves of this crap to be added to our foods and sold to us has committed one of the biggest crimes against humanity in the history of the world. Years ago my stepsister married a man from The Netherlands and he was horrified by the American diet.

I think ive mentioned before, heart issues are present in my family (maternal side) and one of my cousins (from that side) sent me some lectures about "the oiling of America " and how heart disease was virtually unknown before vegetable oil and so called "heart healthy fats"

I agree with you that its horrific that we were sold this shit under false pretense almost out whole lives. In a way, I was fortunate in that my grandparents (paternal) had a farm so plenty of whole ingredients when I was a kid.

The whole margarine, i can't believe it's not butter, eggs are bad, broccoli is bad, whatever the fuck the late 80s early 90s was didn't help. I did, however consume WAY too many doritos in my life. I won't eat them now, but I would. Lol.

I'm horrified by all of the junk I've eaten so nonchalantly throughout my life. I've been pretty good at shunning all that delicious poison in the last 6-8 months.
