Peanut allergies and canola oil
The theory on peanut allergies is that babies are exposed to peanuts in the womb because of the wide use of peanuts and peanut by-products. Frequent exopsure to small amounts of allergens are what cause the immune response. We baby boomers were the first generation to grow up eating peanut butter.
I had read that canola oil is made from rape seed. Yeah you read that right. The name o fthe oil was changed to make it more marketable. HOWEVER, according to the Canola Council of Canada, canola oil is made from canola seed, which was derived from rape seed and is different in molecular make up. I don't know if it's grown around here much, but I think it's widely grown in the plains states and Europe. Rape seed is available to the home gardener for use as a cover crop that's tilled in for green manure. (Too many years of reading Organic Gardening)
Moose, have you ever just baked your crappie filets? I like to put a layer in a shallow baking dish that's been sprayed with cooking oil and top each filet with a paper thin slice of lemon and onion. Sprinkle with a little garlic powder and freshdill if you have it, and drizzle with olive oil. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until the meat flakes easily. Real good witha salad and baked potato.- Roberta
