the seed oil thing is so funny to me because, like, yeah. also, no. it's actually true. they cause serious inflammation which aggravates serious downstream health problems. like, you shouldn't be eating seed oils in any large quantity that you would get from regularly eating deep fried foods oh but wait, eating foods with beef tallow and other saturated fats also causes health problems. except, those problems only show up when you eat large quantities of them, such as if you were regularly eating deep fried foods so what if it wasn't the seed oils that were the problem for many people, but rather, consuming lots of seed oil - as you might find if you ate a lot of deep fried food? what if it's not the seed oils that are causing you to get fat and feel like shit all the time? what if it's the quantity of fats that you're consuming? and, what if not eating seed oils is actually an easy an effective way to avoid eating deep fried foods as a second order effect? that'd be crazy. better just jump on the new fad diet.

I remember last year when fats were "good" and carbs were "bad", good times. I mean, it could all be a psy-op by the animal agriculture lobby to get people to eat even more meat and less veggies. brb frying broccoli and noodles

  I eat a pretty low carb (but not very low/keto!), high protein diet. Lots of vegetables, tofu, and chicken. I eat a head of cauliflower and two heads of cabbage a week. My broccoli bill is off the charts. But I'm also 210 lbs at 17% body fat so maybe my goals are different from most people's. I usually use seed oils, in very small amounts (to get a pan going). I consume red meats infrequently (just not my favorite thing, idk im weird), but when I do, I totally use the fats from them to cook the rest of the meal. Anyways, having been eating "clean" for a year, I always feel like shit after eating fried foods. Or maybe, I just notice that I feel it more.

  I mean my conclusion is people just plain don't want to eat in moderation, and really don't want to weigh things since it might hold their own habits accountable to them. If fats are good and carbs are bad, it's the message people want to hear: do not moderate or change your habits, just eat as much as you want of the "good" thing because it's good!

  > I mean, it could all be a psy-op by the animal agriculture lobby to get people to eat even more meat and less veggies. I don't think you're wrong tbh, since before there was a big psy-op by the grain agri lobby to portray fat in a bad light, pushing for low-fat (but often high sugar/carb) and vegetable oil alternatives. I mean for all these ones there's a grain (ha!) of truth, but the absolutist "X is bad for you" is definitely wrong. The core of every diet opinion seems to be "nothing in excess" / "you need a balanced diet". But that's more difficult than "eat only X" or "avoid Y".
