I'm tired of this ****.

I have a very short list of on-the-road places and things I can eat at said places that won't poison me.  Specifically no ******ned seed oils that you don't label, and no restaurant labels things with them present or cooked with them.

Example: Texas Roadhouse; steak (including their chopped steak "road kill"), mixed veggies and chili are all seed oil free.  I know this because I've eaten them in multiple places all over the United States and my overnight HRV never gets hit.

Incidentally DO NOT eat their "butter" -- it isn't and you WILL get screwed by it.

But last week I was up north skiing and went into a place I really have liked over the years -- but all before HRV was on my Garmin watch.  I ordered the same things I usually have ordered in there and knew before I left I was ****ed because I could feel it -- it was vague, but there.

Overnight HRV confirmed it; I got hammered.

******n you people; you got me once, but I was there three more days and I didn't go back.  I did send a nasty email to them but got no response (big shock); you can have great beer (and they do) but I'm not going in there anymore for anything to eat, and that means not at all because there are other options in town of course.

Incidentally there's another place in that same town that has a nice Prime Rib.  Ate there two days later with veggies as my side and...... no hit.  Uh huh.  Big surprise, right, since roasted prime rib is roasted in..... its own animal fat.  Some horseradish was nice to go with it and while they did cook it in an oven (it wasn't smoked) they had a nice rub on it -- quite spicy, but very pleasant -- too.

Look, I get it -- seed oils are cheap and in addition we were all conned in the 1980s that they were "better" for you than animal fats.  It was and is a lie and anyone with a Garmin that does overnight HRV can trivially prove it.  So why don't you? Is it because if you did you'd want to machine-gun virtually every single ****ing eatery on the planet, including perhaps your favorite places to eat over the years as you'd discover, with irrefutable and personal evidence, that they were serving you slow poison because its cheaper than using animal fats to cook with?

Yes, the hit is "subtle" to one's metabolic health; its not like you fall over dead the next afternoon.  But so are tiny doses of arsenic yet nobody who doesn't want to die would eat them on purpose.

And incidentally there are basically no salad dressings that are not full of that crap so if you're eating salads you're getting dosed with it whether you're doing so in a restaurant or at home.  STOP THAT.

It is well past the time when we should all demand that every eatery stop using this **** in their cooking -- or at least label their menu so those of us who prefer not to be poisoned have choices -- and if there aren't any that don't wind up contaminated (due to how their kitchen is set up) we can get up, walk out and find somewhere else before we get poisoned.

Maybe there are people who aren't impacted by these oils.  If you're one of them then God love you; over time genetic adaptation is a thing and the way it happens is that those who get screwed generally are less-successful reproducing.  Of course we have ruined that selection in that we have socially shamed anyone who says "heh, being fat and diabetic is, with the exception of Type I that is clearly autoimmune related, something you can't shame people or avoid them over so go ahead and mate with those folks!"

That's dumb from a societal point of view people because you are short-circuiting the natural process by which the state of genetics improves among humans.

Incidentally this is why pale-white English and European folks get hit but less than Black people from breads and nastily-starchy potatoes; there weren't any in sub-Saharan Africa historically but there were all over England and Europe and in fact they kept (some) people alive during famines in those areas.

Here is my point of view: If you're metabolically compromised through your deliberate acts then why would I want to date you?  And further if you're selling "food" that compromises my health why would I want to pay you and then eat it?

This becomes very serious indeed in the modern world with travel in the United States, however, in that it is extremely difficult to do so and not get poisoned in this way.  Now if I choose, on vacation, to do "bad for me" things (like drink too much) that's a choice and on me but if you serve me seed oils in a restaurant without disclosure **** you with a rusty chainsaw up your ass until you taste it.

I'm not interested in taking a "vacation" and then needing a vacation from my vacation when I return because I've been slightly poisoned just trying to have a decent dinner.

CUT THAT **** OUT YOU MOTHER****ERS.
