Is street food good for you? Old rancid oil. Cheap oil. Food dripping with oil.
I shall continue to use Rice Bran oil for frying in, and Coconut if I am going to consume the food it is cooked in. Both of these oils, I guess, are made here and not shipped halfway round the World like Olive and Canola oils. -

Colourful Jellyfish Invade Jomtien Beach: Tourists Advised to Stay Cautious
I don't know about those in the Op. ( my post was a bit of a joke ) But I have eaten jelly fish here with my wife and step daughter. All a bit tasteless to me, but they love it. But I don't know where they come from, maybe outside of Thailand. -

I will have to check if my coconut oil is refined or not. -

List from best to worst all the cooking oils. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Here’s a general ranking of common cooking oils from best to worst based on their health benefits, fat composition, and cooking properties. Keep in mind that "best" and "worst" are relative terms, as the healthiness of an oil depends on factors like cooking temperature, dietary needs, and overall consumption. Best to Worst Cooking Oils 1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Best for: Low to medium-heat cooking, dressings, drizzling Benefits: High in monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy. Smoke Point: ~375°F (190°C) 2. Avocado Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, grilling), dressings Benefits: High in MUFAs, rich in vitamin E, improves heart health. Smoke Point: ~520°F (270°C) 3. Coconut Oil (Unrefined) Best for: Medium-heat cooking, baking, sautéing Benefits: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may improve metabolism and provide quick energy. Some antimicrobial properties. Smoke Point: ~350°F (177°C) 4. Canola Oil Best for: Medium to high-heat cooking (frying, sautéing) Benefits: High in MUFAs, low in saturated fats, and contains omega-3 fatty acids. Budget-friendly. Smoke Point: ~400°F (204°C) 5. Rice Bran Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, stir-frying) Benefits: Rich in oryzanol, antioxidants, MUFAs, and PUFAs, lowers bad cholesterol, high smoke point. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 6. Ghee (Clarified Butter) Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, sautéing) Benefits: High in saturated fats, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and may support gut health. Smoke Point: ~485°F (252°C) 7. Sunflower Oil (High Oleic) Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, roasting) Benefits: High in MUFAs and vitamin E, reduces cholesterol levels. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 8. Sesame Oil (Unrefined) Best for: Low to medium-heat cooking, flavoring, dressings Benefits: Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, adds a distinct flavor to dishes. Smoke Point: ~350°F (177°C) 9. Peanut Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, stir-frying) Benefits: Rich in MUFAs, stable at high temperatures, commonly used for frying. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 10. Walnut Oil Best for: Low-heat cooking, drizzling, dressings Benefits: High in omega-3 fatty acids, anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy, but unstable at high heat. Smoke Point: ~320°F (160°C) 11. Flaxseed Oil Best for: No-heat applications (drizzling, dressings) Benefits: Extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids, great for heart and brain health, but unstable for cooking. Smoke Point: ~225°F (107°C) 12. Grapeseed Oil Best for: Medium-heat cooking, dressings Benefits: Rich in vitamin E and PUFAs, moderate smoke point, but high in omega-6 fatty acids, which may promote inflammation in excess. Smoke Point: ~420°F (216°C) 13. Soybean Oil Best for: High-heat cooking Benefits: Rich in PUFAs, omega-6s, and vitamin E. However, high omega-6 content can lead to an imbalance in fatty acids. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 14. Corn Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying) Benefits: Inexpensive, widely used, but high in omega-6 fatty acids and can promote inflammation if consumed in large quantities. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 15. Vegetable Oil (Generic) Best for: High-heat cooking (frying) Benefits: Inexpensive and widely available, but often highly processed, made from a blend of oils (like soybean, corn, and canola), and high in omega-6 fatty acids. Smoke Point: ~400°F (204°C) 16. Palm Oil Best for: Medium to high-heat cooking (frying, baking) Benefits: Contains some beneficial nutrients like carotenoids, but high in saturated fats, and the environmental impact of palm oil production is significant. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) Worst (Less Healthy) 17. Margarine/Shortening Best for: Baking Concerns: High in trans fats (unless labeled as trans-fat-free), which are linked to heart disease, inflammation, and other health issues. Key Points to Consider: Monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) (found in olive, avocado, and canola oils) are considered the most heart-healthy. Polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) (found in sunflower, grapeseed, and soybean oils) are beneficial but should be balanced with omega-3s to avoid excessive omega-6 intake. Saturated fats (found in coconut oil, palm oil, and ghee) should be consumed in moderation. Trans fats (found in margarine and shortening) should be avoided due to their adverse health effects. For optimal health, it’s best to use oils with a good balance of healthy fats, low in processing, and appropriate for the cooking method. -

What time do you get up at?
You are wasting the best part of the day. Crikey, I've had breakfast, a dump, run 3km, had a few coffees and lunch before 11am. Whether I'm on holidays or working I'm up around 4am. Unless I'm out with the mates (seldom), I'm asleep by 9pm. -

How-To: How to stop Alibaba Commie-bandits from sending me spam?
Actually, I do not. For some reason, Alibaba has suddenly begun sending me many SPAM emails....out of the blue. Not sure why. I just want it to stop. I have already used the Gmail tools to report spam, and to block Alibaba. However, this, so far, has had no effect. Alibaba spam keeps on coming......relentlessly...... -

Feel sorry for AN posters who bought electric
Off topic, I know. I was at an Ice Cream Machinery trade show in China this week, and this one piqued my interest. Not a model that I'd go for, but the concept is of interest. Portable electricity, to run an ice cream freezer, a coffee truck, etc. Probably not enough portable juice to run a pizza truck all day, but... I spoke to the guy (in broken English) and he said the truck will power the freezer all day, with plenty of power to cross town to get home at the end of the day. I can see this genre changing the street vendor landscape. His company (Hiron) made the freezers, not the truck, which is a Wuling Brand. (Pretty good history) It's one of their micro-vans. I'd hope they also make bigger platforms. -

7-Eleven Introduces Convenient PromptPay QR Code Payments Nationwide
I think True Wallet is just existing because of people using it at 7-11 and maybe pay bills for true phone / internet bills. Other than that I have never heard of any advantage to main banking apps
