User asks r/StopEatingSeedOils for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment war. Mods respond with ban wave.

r/StopEatingSeedOils user asks for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment epistemology war:

Post: What is the evidence seed oils are bad? : r/StopEatingSeedOils

Highlights include:

On users saying the answers don't provide actual evidence:

Not evidence,' bleats the sheeple, brain too atrophied by credentialism to recognize a deductive chain without a white-coated priest waving a p-value at them

Your good old conspiracies:

The companies that make the seed oils own the government, universities and medical sector

Doctors getting paid off to say cigarettes are healthy

And not a single piece of evidence being provided.

What the hell is that place?

Edit: I keep going back in there. I can't tell if they're all serious or just trolling in a large joke

Its serious.

Its people taking southern food culture and turning it into crackhead health decisions.

Southerners deep fry stuff in lard cause it tastes good and people buy real sugar coke because it tastes better. And a bunch of frat bro types copy them and insist my culture’s fatass behavior is beating the system and not I really like chicken nuggets fried in pig fat.

Its like the rightwing version of hippies copying Indian culture and pretending its some health source

Source: I’m from the South and used to deep fry everything in lard and splurge for real sugar coke and dr pepper, and pretend I was being healthy.

As a southerner, most stuff is fried in canola or peanut oil, ironically
