I saw avocado oil at Costco a while back, I had already bought some coconut oil, so I didn't need it. It was also very expensive. Is it worth the price?

I don't use it that often so it lasts a while so I'd say yes. I haven't actually bought the Costco one but the one I bought from Loblaw's is delicious.

Speaking of Costco and avocado... I bought a bag of massive avocados from there a few weeks ago and they were awesome. I bought another bag recently and they were rock hard for a week before quickly becoming super-soft but with a weird stringy consistency. Not too impressed Costco.

Some good eating today. Breakfast was Scrambled Eggs. Lunch was Caesar Salad and dinner was Black Pepper Steak.

One of the side effects of lifting heavier weight more often is that I'm fucking starving all the time.

Eat more fat and fibre.

Sounds like some good snackin' :wink:

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

I eat enough fats. Could probably use more fibre in my diet.

I used to work at Costco, in the produce department specifically. The prices were actually higher than the surrounding super markets, and some of the practices were kind of nasty. Like, one day a guy picked up a couple palates of cranberries, and one tipped over. We were instructed to pick up all of them off the floor and put them back in the containers. A few times we were asked to go through the grapes and cherries and remove moldy ones and moldy areas, then put the packages back out. That's not too bad, but the main thing was that the produce was consistently more expensive than everywhere else.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

That's gross.

Know how grocery stores offer packages of cut mushrooms, or fruit? There's a good chance those are old mushrooms, or fruit with bad spots, that wouldn't sell whole.

I've seen worse. Much worse.

The only solution is to be like TheeFaulted, and grow all your own produce.

You guys don't have farmer's markets??

 

[Tosa]

You think you can trust a farmer?


I'm kidding. There's a number of farmer's markets here, as well as stores that carry food from some of those farmers.

No question about it. I have been management with several big grocers in Canada, I don't buy meat, produce, frozen goods or dairy from them as a result of what I have seen.

Do you get winter in the Carolina's? We have the markets for about 3 months.
