    This is also in regards to your carnist talking points comment further down, but isn’t this more of a symptom of the 2000’s fad diets?

    I remember “vegetable oil = bad” being as old as Paleo and the guys championing it aren’t vegans but they’re not Liver King type dudes either, meatheads used to make fun of them for eating too many vegetables and it was more about “primal living,” faux-“wellness,” and “detoxing” type shit.

    Jack Dorsey / McConaughey types

      yeah I do agree the seed oil discourse has a wider audience than purely carnivores. I’ve honestly mostly encountered it from carnivores who use it to promote cooking with butter, lard and tallow, which is where that comment came from. But you’re right, there are a lot of other fad diets that have latched on to the whole seed oil thing, some of which are actually vegan or compatible with veganism.
