Thanks for that. I didn't know it could be bought as a separate oil. The colour is interesting!

It's the transfat issues that got me thinking and wondering how it's marketed where you are. It's in so many products here now but hidden under the umbrella of "vegetable oil". The problem is that there's a bit of an ecological disaster concerning palm oil plantations happening in certain places in the world not far from Australia and it's really concerning me. This all made me curious about where the palm oil that you all eat is grown and how it's labelled. At the moment I'm using little oil, and when I do I use a cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and have some grape seed oil too. I've got to the stage with my cooking that it doesn't taste like my cooking anymore 'cause I'm leaving out half the ingredients for either health reasons or other reasons. lol
