Why I avoid eating in restaurants....

I love gathering with people I love over a meal but lately, I have been avoiding restaurants.  

Seed oils and farm-raised fish are two big reasons.

We need to avoid the Omega-6 rich oils which are causing inflammation in our bodies and brains.  Those are

Sunflower, Safflower, Soybean, Canola, Corn, Vegetable, Palm 

We should be cooking with/eating: butter/ghee, avocado and olive oils.

Just this week (end of July 2022) Time Magazine did a piece on why farm-raised fish aren't your best choice.  Same issues as raising a zillion chickens in a small warehouse...that's how they do it with farm-raised fish.

I like to choose salads with olive oil and vinegar on the side, fresh oysters, shrimp cocktail, and if I know the source of their meat I love a good grilled plain steak with some chimichurri sauce.

I don't always say no to dessert either!  But instead of choosing something with a zillion unknown ingredients, I'll choose ice cream with fresh berries or even chocolate mousse.

It's all about making the best choices we can make in any given situation.
