Banning cooking oils doesn't seem like a good solution at all. While they are of course some of the densest types of food in terms of caloric intake, they are used in a large majority of recipes to cook at home. The problem is ultra-processed foods, not natural fats and vegetable which are even considered fairly healthy in moderation (there is a reason why the Mediterranian diet is considered healthy despite consuming a lot more of this type of fat). Reducing fast food intake is among the most healthy choices you can make, but the problem in fast food doesn't really come down to canola oil. Regarding sugar and HFCS, I completely agree, not just because of the direct association to weight gain, but also because of the desensitization to sweetness that is often followed by higher usage patterns.
