The plant is called RAPE.
How can this oil be good when it's made of rape?

Yeah, typical mix in a few truths with moans about something you've decided is woke and bad. In this case vegetarians.

Also hate it when they complain about kids playing video games instead of playing outside. That's the fault of their rotten lot.
They made the world this way.
The change even since I was a kid has been pretty horrid and America has it far worse

It doesn't matter whose fault it is, the fact that it has occurred is the problem.

It used to be called Rapeseed oil.  That branding change necessary.

It needs fixing absolutely. Placing blame is pointless. Much of it was indeed simply mistaken good faith decisions or even ignorance.

But these people still actively support the policies that fucked things up so much and throw a fit at any attempt to inch things back in the direction of kids being able to play outside again - see the rage over low traffic neighbourhoods.

In their head kids are playing inside because they're weak and degenerate and the parents are lazy.
That they've created a world where playing outside is dangerous. Where theres been some stories from the US of parents  even being arrested for letting kids out alone...
This kind of backwards self defeating logic is annoying.

I learned from Elizabeth David's "Italian Food" (published in that era) that ice (in large quantities) could only be gotten at fishmongers, the French were thought to use heavy sauces because their produce was inferior and ice cream was an ideal digestif.

I guess olive oil use for thousands of years skipped the 50s?

Lots of moronic things are published on the internet every day.  We don't need to see them, let alone see them without context so that we don't even know who to laugh at.

Well this looks British and I have no doubt the cuisine was in a dire state back then.

I apologize for my snark.  I had lost track of the thread I was in.  Your post was perfectly in line with this thread's purpose, and mine was not.

In the 1950's there was still rationing in Britain.  I can't imagine anyone was nostalgic for that.

No worries. I regularly comment in a thread and then realize that I posted my response in the wrong tropic
