Other oils such as sunflower, corn (a big culprit since it is so popular), soybean oil and others(sometimes just labeled as vegetable oil). Use extra virgin olive oil almost exclusively but you can use some canola for high heat cooking (frying chicken or something like that). Saturated fats in small amounts are ok but they are not good for health overall but I do recommend butter over margarine when you need a product like that.
I like to think of my food intake as prehistoric (in a way) since "man" has not evolved as fast as the current food market has. Even our parents did not have access to corn oil etc and used butter or lard (but our parents were more physically active to deal with this not that frying everything in lard is good for you).
So... what did a hunter gatherer eat... fruits, veggies, nuts, grains, some fish, roots, tubers and sometimes the boys went out and did catch a deer now and again.
To make up the omega 3 in my diet, I eat fish, walnuts, flax and take a couple of Fish oil tablets to be sure.
I am sure others on this board who are even more knowledgeble will add to this.
Warm regards
Becky
