Baby steps. I had a very similar scenario when my sister-in-law came home with a GIGABYTE bottle of ranch dressing Costco. First ingredient: canola oil. I just said that our family wouldn’t, and shouldn’t eat anything much seed oil in it. A day later, I asked her if she knew the difference between rapeseed oil and canola oil (same thing) She said, no, so I asked her if she wanted to? Even the Wiki page paints an ugly picture about “canola”. Start there. If you want to know more, let me know. 🍻🧡👊🏻🥩

Thank you. Sounds like she was open. I house sat for my friends for the last three months and put away all their scratched non sticky pans they were automate in cooking in. Replaced them with a whole brand new set of stainless steel that was just sitting there I imagine for years. First thing my friend did when she returned home is call to ask where I left the old scratch pans cos she needed to make pancakes. We had a short talk where she began to defend the pan that it's not aluminum and it doesn't leak anyways unless it's a certain degree. Years ago they were explaining to me how I am stupid because organic is just a fad for people to spend more on their food. I asked her yesterday if the grapes she was feeding her 3 year old were organic as I wanted to have some and she replied that she hopes so... She didn't buy them. We both knew they aren't. Being that I have been censored and asked to not share my health advice because it feels offensive to their life choices I just said under my nose "you should probably get on the same page and educate your husband to not feed your child pesticides". I am not sure she heard me. My point is, it's not just seed oils. It's literally everything from offensive synthetic fragrances to toxic cleaning supplies to gmo soy and seed oils. I don't really have the energy to continue doing something I've failed for the most part in over a decade. But please give me some resources anyways.

It weird how people gradually accept ideas that seem wrong at first. First comes: Exposure Then [hopefully] an additional exposure to the idea will come along and reinforce the original idea creating an openness to the hearing more. I do this with my kids. A pastor does this with his disciples. -In a healthy society it will continue on with a teacher, a doctor, a news source, a book or magazine article etc. All you can do is gently suggest and hope the idea takes root in their mind. 🍻🧡👊🏻🥩

in the last year i have learned about more shit too... maltodextrin is absolutely evil shit that will fuck up your kidneys, and most noticably, cause all your dental nerves to ache like fuck (it's starch that has been cooked in sodium hydroxide) and all the emulsifiers and flow agents and whatnot, and then if you start to worry you might be having problems from having too much sugar, then there is almost everything now in the juice shelf is laced with nephrotoxic artificial sweeteners that will give you diabeetus even faster, give you double vision, tinnitis, hypokalemia the government regulation of food additives has led to a point where absolutely everything in a packet is toxic waste, and everything in the meat section is liberally soaked in nitrites and fuck knows what else, the vegetables and fruit are all completely smothered in toxic pesticides, full of glyphosate residue because that still hasn't been fully phased out even though it's now positively confirmed to be carcinogenic fucking nightmare out there... this is another part of why i want to just have my own little herd of sheep and goats and flock of chickens and a little veggie patch far from any fields of wheat or rapeseed or whatever, and eat like they ate back in the days of the book of Genesis... ie, lots of barbecued meat, fruit, and a little salad, and see every step of the process and control everything about it the modern food industry is a death machine at this point
