Too much palm oil ruins the beans meal as you can see

I need to really get this off my chest, but metaphorically and literally. This is exactly what happens when I'm in so much of a hurry and I forget to tell the person selling that I really don't want that much palm oil. I end up with a chest burn and it's not easy to settle down with that.

Too much palm oil in anything is bad for your health but I'm not even going to talk about health stuff here. I'm talking about the taste and the way the entire meal looks. I didn't even bother adding the eggs and the plantains, I just ate those separately. The entire meal has been ruined because there's too much palm oil.

When palm oil is added to beans and gari, the oil doesn't get absorbed and instead pools at the bottom of the container. For gari, the palm oil just ruins the texture of the gari and turns it into a heavy mess instead of the firmer texture the gari should have had. When I tried to eat it, everything tasted bad. The lady is actually a good cook and I could tell it was well cooked but the only thing ruining it is how much oil was added by mistake.

Some actually like it this way but I'm really not a fan at all. Let's look at it now from the personal health perspective.

When you add way too much to the beans and gari meal, you're creating a heavy unpleasant and sluggish feeling because the oil doesn't digest easy and it triggers heartburn, indigestion and a host of other problems. Do this over and over and it's going to seriously raise your cholesterol levels too.

I think our bodies recognize when things have been unbalanced, especially when it comes to the careless abundant use of palm oil. Some people's body respond more aggressively to that but it's bad for anyone in the long term.

One careless scoop of it and you'll get palm oil stains all over your clothes as well. It's very hard to get it out of your fingers too. You try to wash with soap and it's slimy and sticky when you add water. Too much of Palm oil is a really bad idea. I regret not tell the lady to reduce the oil and she probably also forgot to ask.
