Maybe people are starting to see through the "plant-based" marketing when they see the 20 industrially produced ingredients on the back of the pack. I for one have been steering clear of seed oils and foods high in linoleic acid that have been linked to a plethora of modern health problems, and most of these products are stuffed full of them and are not remotely natural - no thanks.

Agreed. Maybe people could just start eating plants instead of over engineered industrially processed blocks of “food”.

  If you think humans are going to start eating a more boring, simplified diet, you are missing a major plot line of human civilization, which continues to give us an ever-increasing array of foods in every possible configuration.

    You assumed that eating plants over processed corn/pea protein/soy isolate/canola oil blocks = a bowl of raw spinach. There are endless delicious cultural cuisines which are made of only plants, not ultra processed, and certainly not boring.

  I am fairly certain the seed oils talking bit can be traced back to a quack doc interviewed on Rogan’s podcast, which people then ran with. It’s the soy meme version 2.0, just grounded in even less reality.

    It's hilarious because "seed oils" is a totally arbitrary, incoherent category that they just made up. Pure quackery.
