I watched Michael Moore’s “Sicko” again today; it’s made me very sad, but I was given pause to realize that Obamacare, in fact, now covers most of the issued addressed in the movie. A small step forward for sure, and it’s over priced, but I’m reminded what an important step it was, and I’m thankful for him making it happen.

Sanctions have increased. Now they are pushing Europe. I’m sure the Anti-American sentiment will continue. Plus you can tell them that the President has now a 43% approval rating, so most Americans agree with them. Sadly.

Palm oil is causing Jungle Deforestation, stay away. It’s in to much already and raises your triglyceride levels.
Don responds: the jury is still out on the overall effect of red palm oil. While it is associated with raising triglycerides, some studies also associate it with lowering bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol. Back in the States I’ll probably try to find some responsibly sourced red palm oil someday as an experiment. I think Whole Foods has some that is not made in SE Asia. But frankly my first results using just plan sunflower oil were amazing, so maybe I won’t.

Cottonseed oil! I would not have guessed it, but I suppose it makes sense, given the dominance of cotton in Uzbekistan. I might have to try that next time.

Watched “House Hunters International” and it was from Sofia and boy, the economy does look like it’s in hell. Do you know what the issue might be?
Don responds: Long story. I actually think the economy may be relatively better than in Russia.
