> Industrial seed oils were invented when there was no meaningful health regulation, then became increasingly popular based on flawed research suggesting they were heart healthy.
 
> In the intervening 100+ years, numerous in vitro cell studies, animal studies, human clinical trials, and observational studies have demonstrated the toxic effects of seed oils and their byproducts created during heating.
 
> While there are a few possible benefits to seed oils, such as vitamin E, low amounts of omega-3 ALA, and reduction in cholesterol, according to some studies, these properties aren't unique to seed oils and don't outweigh the potential for harm.
 
> Industrial seed oils are hard to avoid if you mainly eat food from restaurants and pre-packaged processed foods, but easy to avoid if you learn to read labels and do as much of your cooking as possible.

To me it's a little early to be thinking about Christmas - maybe after Halloween would be closer but far enough away for there to be a little extra time. After Thanksgiving might be too close to Christmas for kids to think about toys, or adults about presents.
 
Anyway, so some of the corporations are keeping the "tradition" alive of releasing top toy publications or catalogs. Was it Sears catalogs that used to be put out and were a popular catalog of this kind in the past? Anyone have a history on this?
 
In any event, I do not endorse Walmart or Amazon but link some of their PDFs of this kind of thing as an example. Anyone have other interesting catalog links to drop, toy or holiday gift ideas, or other thoughts on the topic (such as perhaps something to do instead of consumption, alternative "knock off" cheaper or more educational toys for kids, etc.)?

General discussion of toys, upcoming holidays, and so on?

> His feast (29 September) in the Middle Ages was celebrated as a holy day of obligation, but along with several other feasts it was gradually abolished since the eighteenth century (see FEASTS). Michaelmas Day, in England and other countries, is one of the regular quarter-days for settling rents and accounts; but it is no longer remarkable for the hospitality with which it was formerly celebrated. Stubble-geese being esteemed in perfection about this time, most families had one dressed on Michaelmas Day. In some parishes (Isle of Skye) they had a procession on this day and baked a cake, called St. Michael's bannock.
