I'm not sure if you're telling me to eat balanced or just ranting about the poor state of the American diet. Take a little time to read a few more posts on this blog.

Unless you eat a very healthy diet that consists little to no transfat you are fine! aka like EVERYONE SHOULD BE, balance your diet! If you dont and you pile on the margarine and other transfatty foods, then of course you will have high cholesterol. America particularly is just plain FAT. We already eat garbage that has transfat in it: 1. fast food: Bad news here: Fries, chicken, and other foods are deep-fried in partially hydrogenated oil. Even if the chains use liquid oil, fries are sometimes partially fried in trans fat before they're shipped to the restaurant. Pancakes and grilled sandwiches also have some trans fat, from margarine slathered on the grill. (Fries (a medium order) contain 14.5 grams.) 2. Packaged foods. Cake mixes, Bisquick, and other mixes all have several grams of trans fat per serving. 3. Chips and Crackers. Shortening provides crispy texture. Even "reduced fat" brands can still have trans fat. Anything fried (like potato chips and corn chips) or buttery crackers have trans fat. (A small bag of potato chips has 3.2 grams of trans fat.) 4. Soups. Ramen noodles and soup cups contain very high levels of trans fat. 5. Frozen Food. Those yummy frozen pies, pot pies, waffles, pizzas, even breaded fish sticks contain trans fat. Even if the label says it's low-fat, it still has trans fat. (Mrs. Smith's Apple Pie has 4 grams trans fat in every delicious slice.) 6. Baked Goods. Even worse news -- more trans fats are used in commercially baked products than any other foods. Doughnuts contain shortening in the dough and are cooked in trans fat. 7. Breakfast food. Breakfast cereal and energy bars are quick-fix, highly processed products that contain trans fats, even those that claim to be "healthy." *(Kellogg's Cracklin' Oat Bran Cereal has 1.5 grams per 3/4 cup serving.) 8. Cookies and Candy. Look at the labels; some have higher fat content than others. A chocolate bar with nuts -- or a cookie -- is likely to have more trans fat than gummy bears. Then again it is your choice, after first of all the FDA's choice of allowing margarine onto the food market. If it were that bad for you with the ingredients, having "ingredients that of paint," well then it would not exist, not be in your refridgerators and not at all in your bellies. Give me some MARGARINE!

I just add some ground, dried herbs (usually rosemary and basil) to the olive oil and refrigerate, stirring once or twice (if I remember) while it solidifies. Once solidified, it's a nice spread but reverts to liquid quickly if left out for any length of time. It's tasty, very easy to make and healthy. .-= Crystal´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.ruggedcanyonjewelry.com/2010/04/40th-anniversary-of-earth-day-april-22.html" rel="nofollow">40th Anniversary of Earth Day - April 22, 2010</a> =-.

Legal amounts of pus? You've got to be kidding me. Although I've done a lot to clean up my diet, I'm not quite ready to go vegan as yet. But you're right. The internet makes it a lot easier to research stuff (sometimes I wish I hadn't). Oh man, I’m sick to my stomach. Legal amounts of pus? You’ve got to be kidding me.
