WTF would any normal person want to inhale atomized oil? duh
One inhales enough cooking fumes normally, why over kill???

Doesn't take any skill at all to drizzle minimum oil into a bowl of
salad and toss... those oil atomizers are the idiot's delight.
WTF can't you simply mix up some vinaigrette and apply to suit.
If you were truly wanting to ingest less fat you'd eat your salad from
a cheap paper plate, they suck up oil but not the juices. I fry eggs
in butter but eat them from a paper plate, I ingest considerably less
fat plus I don't have to deal with plates coated with runny egg dried
on... in boxes of 1,000 cheap paper plates cost like .0008¢ per.
