        I usually use extra light virgin olive oil from NTUC.Good for high heat cooking like stir-fries and grilling.


        But I am curiousโ€ฆThe label behind the bottle states "Packed In Italy".

        Means product is made in Italy?

        Anyway,picking up my 2 girls only now because DD1 and DD2 did not do and passed up their Chinese homework for the past 2 days.The teacher wanted to see me about it as well.

          hi ff , you are back home.

          usually i dont really bother about made in where..guess i trust Spore to bring in safe/safer products ๐Ÿ˜‚ but if say packed in italy i think the product may be from somewhere else ?

          ohh your dds..dont worry. sometimes that is quite a common thing for certain kids. hope they will one day outgrown that behaviour..some kids may just need more time on these ๐Ÿ˜“

            no need to worry too much , u not eating this every meal every day & just use your tongue to ensure salt content not high. The type of scary processed food are the eg sausages, lunchen meat (yummy lei..hahha..) bakkwa -yummy too ๐Ÿ˜ข
            Strictly speaking a lot of packed noodles/beehoon , milk, cheese, butter , bread , flour , oil are
            processed food wor since they are manufactured fr food industries lei :roll: Or be farmers n harvest own food -move back to kumpung malaysia or indo to grow veg, keep poultry for fresh egg n meat, catch your own seafood ๐Ÿ˜‚

            my neighbour is Jap and she shared that her mum grows own veges in her hometown outskirt Osaka, how nice . The kids always come back with big round tummy n round cheeks after eating grandma love grown organic veges :please:

              It was reported in The Straits Times that we should not gauge the salt content based on how saltish the food taste.


              I do not add table salt during cooking. The light soya sauce, oyster sauce used in the marinating already contain sodium. Some other sauces such as the Korean marinating sauce n dark soya sauce also has sodium. Really no reason to add any more table salt.

              Talking about olive oil, MIL is under the impression that it is a very healthy oil. She uses it carelessly in stir fry veg. My boys complain about the veg being too oily but she tells them it is healthy oil ๐Ÿคท Well, the boys only go to her house to eat lunch on weekends, I guess won't be too much damage done.

                  I'm quite sensitive to salt/salty food. I can put on 1kg after a chicken rice meal with their given lotus root peanut soup. so i try not to eat too much of outside food.

                    Nice, but i am sure they had a lot more than just organic veg! Jap diet has a lot of healthy fats.

                      I think genes have a lot to do with overall health outcomes too. I just got some medical results back, and my LDL is now "borderline high"! Considering that my diet is healthier than average even though I donโ€™t try extremely hard, itโ€™s hard to know what to adjust.
