Palm Oil (Written March 23)

So for a while I have been complaining to Sarah that most of the time our food tasted like soap. I thought it tasted like soap when we ate imported rice and it was not soapy when we ate domestically grown rice. Last night I decided that it was actually probably the palm oil that is in every meal we get from our host family. Smartly, Sarah pointed out that palm oil is a major ingredient in many soaps. I wonder if the two are related....
