    You have a great point jelly and you are almost correct. However 'Virgin' oilve oil is far superior. I made a mistake re sunflower oil, but, I did say you could adjust ingredients to suit. I also often add a few drops of sesame oil to rice bran oil when cooking Asian dishes for an exotic aroma and flavour.

    Ok to clear up a little here goes - Olive oil has a relation of 13:1 (13 Omega 6 and 1 Omega 3), a much better ratio than sunflower oil. And although this ratio may still sound high, let’s remember that the main fat in olive oil is monounsaturated, a fat with very little Omega 6. This means that although the ratio is 13:1, there is a low amount of Omega 6 in it. It is the polyunsaturated fats that are loaded with Omega 6 fatty acids.

    For centuries, olive oil has been a major player in the low incidence of heart disease and artery damage among Mediterranean populations. Extensive research has shown that olive oil not only can prevent damage to the arteries but can also reverse high levels of cholesterol in the blood and lower high blood pressure, a major risk for stroke

    Olive oils have about the same proportion of monounsaturated fat. Why is buying extra virgin olive more expensive than refined olive oil? Two major reasons:

    1.Refined olive oil is loaded with chemicals

    2.Extra virgin olive oil contains more antioxidants than refined versions.

    Bottom line, we need more omega-3s and omega-9s in our diets and almost no additional omega-6 fatty acids. The only one we may need is GLA, which we can get in the form of borage oil and then only for women with menstrual issues, in my opinion. We can't help but consume omega-6 fats when we eat in restaurants of any ilk because restaurants all use inexpensive oils mostly omega-6 fatty acids. Therefore, since most of us eat out several times per week, we are getting more than enough omega-6.

    By the way I love cooking..Anymore questions?....Fire away!! LOL

    Arnold Schwarzenegger used to love telling rivals who wanted to be like him to drink a gallon of whole milk a day. Then a month later when they'd stumble into the gym all muscle-less and fat, He'd tell them "Milk is for babies, I drink beer!"

    Post up YOUR pictures, and let's see where YOUR pizza and big-mac diet has placed you.

    Does anyone know if it is wise to incorporate alot of wild game into thier diet? where im living we do alot of eating whatever wanders into the yard. its much cheaper for large quantities. caribou, moose, deer, grouse, duck, and pretty much anything that wont eat you first. And alot of trout, salmon, cod. Not so much seal.. any negative aspects of wild meat? or should i stick to buying storebought.

    I live in southern MO and I get plenty of backstrap deer steaks from friends and family! I think its a great addition into my personal diet, very lean clean and cost effective -- I also make my own sodium free jerky for snacks.

    Whatever you do, don't start using a bunch of sauces and shit. The meal replacement option is bad but it's better than loading up your food with a bunch of sauce filled with sugar and simple carbs.
