Saw a commercial today where they said "our product contains heart healthy canola oil, not stuff from a test tube". um... fail. massive fail.

To be fair, it ain't from a test tube. It's from a machines that cleans it with a bleaching agent, a caustic solution, and a 1 micron mesh.

Had to laugh yesterday when I went to my local Starbuck's and ordered an iced coffee with heavy whipping cream. The very young barista just looked at me as if I had spoken to her in Swahili, so I continued, "the stuff you put in the cannister to make whipped cream". Her, "you want heavy cream?!?!?" Me, "yes please !" Her face squished up as if I asked her to give me ground baby fingers or something. Then she asked which sweetener I wanted. "None, cream is all". I walked away leaving her with the most perplexed look on her face.

I was at a family's friends house for passover. She was starting to cook broccoli on the stove. When she took out the gigantic bottle of corn oil I almost vomited.

Oil? For broccoli? Don't you mean water?

Sautee the broccoli. Boiling it leaches nutrients. Although why on EARTH you'de ever use corn oil on poor defenseless broccoli is beyond me.

A bit of water (just covering the bottom) in a pot, put in the broccoli, cover and place over heat. The poor man's broccoli steamer.

or you could just throw it into a super hot (nicely seasoned) cast iron pan and stir it up really quickly. 30-60 sec. and it's done. add whatever fat you like after it's cooked. canola oil? oh gag.

[runnergal]

Butter. Broccoli goes with butter. Lots and lots of butter.

I saw a Tostitos commercial this morning during which they displayed the "ingredients" across the bottom of the screen It read simply: "Tostitos." So, yeah, Tostitos are made of Tostitios. Hmmm, is that primal?

[LJH]

Only if they're picked from a non-GMO Tostito tree.

[OperaDivaMom]

Hmmm, if you pronounce Tostitos phonetically it sounds kind of like "toasted toes". That would TOTALLY be primal. Now to figure out which animal actually has toes that can be chopped off and toasted. Monkeys maybe?
