Looks beautiful as usual. Is palm oil a thing in the UK or Europe in general?

Its not the same as the palm oil which has a bad press. What I have is unrefined palm oil which is allegedly 'more healthy'. I just like the colour and taste! No its not really common to buy it to use. However, refined palm oil is found in many processed products in the UK.

Any fat that's unrefined is healthier without a doubt comparably speaking. Yeah, palm oil does get bad press but what the difference with some palm oils are good and others are bad, how does that work?

I think a major issue is the deforestation it has caused. According to the info the one I'm using is environmentally friendly.

I first thought how can this be a salad dressing, it's palm oil and solid at room temp and so the rape seed makes sense because it allows to then become an oil as opposed to a fat. The funny thing is the rape seed takes away from it's health profile. Also sustainable plantations is marketing and mostly lip service. I have no dog in the fight, so I don't really care and to be perfectly honest I see palm oil as a healthier alternative to the highly refined seed oils that have been promoted as being healthy, which they are not.
 
Breakfast this morning was necessary, as I skipped supper yesterday. Breakfast was eggs, bacon, a hash brown patty, pumpernickel bread, a banana, a pear and a glass of Martinelli's sparkling blush apple cider. I have never had this version of Martinelli's cider before and I expected something wonderful. I sipped. Yes, that was Martinelli's fame for taste and a refined beverage.
