Okay.
So, I hope you guys take this seriously, because it is.
Thirty years ago, food companies did a terrible thing to the consumers. They put an ingredient called Palm Oil into everything. This action caused a generation of children to suddenly have high cholesterol.
I was one of those kids. Think about what it was like for an eight year old to suddenly be told that he has super high cholesterol, and that he can't eat the foods he enjoys anymore, all because big food companies cheaped out and put Palm Oil into everything he had been consuming. Outrage followed, and eventually the companies pulled products from the shelves, leading to the advent of good and safe Canola Oil to enter the market.
Well, my friends, Palm Oil has returned. Quietly, all your favorite foods you buy off the shelves have had Palm Oil put back into them just so big food can save a buck or two. It's the same as High Fructose Corn Syrup, except while that will kill your pancreas and give you diabetes, this gives you heart problems thanks to trans fat and high cholesterol.
So, I warn all of you to look at your labels. If something has Palm Oil in it, I suggest you throw it out and find an alternative.
Now, since I make everything fresh, very few things in my home have been hit, but a couple of items were, including microwave popcorn and several condiments. It's in every popcorn brand, which means we're making it homemade, now in a brand new popper that will arrive any day now using a safer butter and regular old kosher salt.
Please. Take this seriously to avoid hurting yourself.
