In perhaps 95% of restaurants in the U.S.,
dinner out typically means ingesting seed oil factory fats: cottonseed oil, “canola” (rapeseed) oil, corn oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, grapeseed oil, sesame seed oil, and palm kernel oil. The trans fatty acids, and omega 6 linoleic fatty acid in seed oil is terrible for metabolic health, and can act on your endocannabinoid receptors to give you a case of the munchies!
Restaurants deep fry and sautée their food in seed oil. It’s in all manner of sauces, in most all salad dressings, even ones they make in their kitchens. The oil and vinegar they bring you in two separate glass bottles, well, do you really know what that oil is, or if it’s gone rancid? They even grill hamburgers and steaks using seed oils. Sure, you can ask them to grill your food in butter. But some places will tell you they don’t have a morsel of real butter on premises. In many ways, eating out is playing roulette with your diet.
The only places I’ve found lately where I would consider eating out are sushi bars, having some sliced brisket at a BBQ joint, and at a birria taqueria that grills dorado tacos using rendered tallow drippings from braised goat and lamb meat.
Do you eschew and avoid seed oils? What do you do when you eat out.
