@LouisConde Two things:
1. Wide availability of seed oils makes it far cheaper to produce shitty food like fast food, so avoiding seed oils means you avoid all fast/fried food pretty much
2. The effects may be overblown, but because the cheap availability of it is partly why they can produce so much fast food/fried food, it can still be said to be a major reason people get so fat so easily.

They switched from beef tallow to seed/vegetable oils in fast food decades ago.

BTW, It's important to always keep the point of "they helped to push us away from famine".

Almost makes me wander what the world would look like, of we send much more seed oil to the starving people.

@LukeAlmighty most of those people are undeserving because their population grew so big because of colonialism, and prior to colonialism would never have gotten as big as they did, and afterwards will not be able to maintain without perpetual foreign aid.

stop making excuses for shitty food.

@lichelordgodfrey
Food that makes you fat is not shitty, it's literaly too good.

Obesity isn't a historically known issue. It's fammine. I will not just condemn the ultimate achievement like this just because we weren't ready to use it properly.
