Great question. This seed oil thing seems strange. I maybe can buy there's some marginal impact, but the way it is talked about implies there's some definite, measurable, material negative association. Otherwise, it's like chemtrails to me. Or another food/culture dogma, like Taleb talks about.
Something is making Americans fat as fuck.
Basically the theory is that pufa’s (seed oils) are dirty food (industrial sludge, non ancestral) which turn into dirty fuel when utilized for fat burn in the body. This produces unpleasant and negative feelings in the body and emotionally when fat stores containing PUFA’s are tapped into causing people to become hangry (distinct from hungry) and seek food more often resulting in overeating. Personally I find it a more compelling theory than sugar bad, sedentary lifestyle etc…
I wouldn’t go underestimating laziness and overindulgence.
It’s not like we as a society suddenly got way more lazy and way more over indulgent. There’s clearly something wrong with the food supply.
I can’t disagree on the mass available food being garbage.. not convinced about the laziness though. Just my take. Been wrong way more than once. 🤙🏻
Have you read Fiat Food by Matthew Lysiak?
