It's very likely that you can blame most of what gets blamed on seed oil on diets that are abundant in simple carbohydrates, and seed oils are likely contributing in some way that's yet to be studied, but, eliminating those simple carbohydrates likely fixes things.
I do like the sentiment of the article though, very science-positive with a healthy side of skepticism.

Straight candy is bad for you but having sugary cereal or an energy bar occasionally is not an issue. Industrialized diets encourage us to overcome calorie dense, overly processed foods. The biggest factor in disease related to that kind of diet could just be that the proportions of things are out of whack.
