“Let’s get the fish and chips.”
“That stuff will kill you. Get the steamers instead.”
“But the fish and chips are crispy goodness. You can’t come to the beach without getting fish and chips.”
“It’s the crispy that will kill you. Those restaurants are probably frying in a pool of trans fats.”
“But the Omega 3 fatty acids in the fish more than make up for the trans fats in the fries and batter.”
“Except that the trans fats in the fries and batter will reduce your absorption of the Omega 3s in the fish.”
“Do you ever have any fun?”

Wow, this post made my day. So wonderful to hear people in the street taking so much time to think about what they're putting in their bodies. It's the very conversation I have with family and friends often, although I poo poo vegetable oil period. The kids ask for this or that junk and I turn to them and either say, "sugar" or "vegetable oil" and they know what I mean. No need to go further. They know the conversation by heart. (Pun not intended)

I would like to invite you to try another candidate for fighting depression. My company sells an oil pressed from camelina seeds. We call it WildFlax. It has high omega 3 content but naturally includes very high omega 6 counts. A local vegetarian doctor here says that if you are a vegan or vegetarian, you should be eating this oil.
My wife and I are sold on it!
