Partially Hydrogenated Oils

Its basically unbelievable in a bunch of ways.

  1. How is is that I just found out that these are bad?  Its March of 07.
  2. How is it that its possible (again in March of 07) that this is in almost every food?

I figure I am a pretty docile consumer.  I don’t rock the boat or stage sit ins or write letter after letter (not that this is a bad thing), but I’m feeling physically ill at the thought of what I have been eating over the last 10? or more years.

Lied to.  I feel lied to.  I mean common after we discovered the terrible effects of “Partially Hydrogenated Oils” this week we can’t find anything in our kitchen without them.  Our oatmeal (yeah I know its just to easy) has this in it.  Its not like a bag of chips.  I knew that was bad, but common bread, meats, the roast in the freezer we were going to eat. 

Boy is going to the store fun now. 

All I can say is I’m sick and its probably from all the disgusting food I’ve eaten.  I want to be healthy I really do.

 So bye bye evil instant oats.  Hello butter.

Here is an interesting site to read about what I’m complaining about:

    Partially hydrogenated oil is only 1 ingredient that is a no-no. High fructose corn syrup and Enriched anything are 2 more big ones. Go to the grocery and try to find bread without high fructose corn syrup or the word enriched in the ingredients. Good Luck! :) Have you ever thought of why so many people have diabetes more than ever before?…Hign fructose corn syrup. HFCS also turns off pectin in your body which tells your brain when you are full, so you over eat! BAD BAD BAD! Our society is so caught up with saving money that it has greatly effected our health!
