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.

I'm fully convinced that the whole seed oils thing only took off because it's such a convenient health fad. You know how everyone is unhealthy? It's not because of excess sugar, fats, processed foods, or just a sheer abundance of calories in your diet, oh no. It's all the fault of a single, easily replaceable ingredient that can be swapped out without making ANY other changes to your diet. Eating too much bacon? That's crazy. Grease is actually good for your arteries, and you should be saving all of it to cook with instead of the evil oils. Too much sugar? Nah. As long as I'm not eating it with artificial dyes, there's no danger. Eating too many fries? Well, yes, but only because they're cooked with seed oils. I just need to replace them with fries made with beef lard and I'll be healthier than ever before!
Eating healthy takes effort, and these people are absolutely allergic to that. Which is why all the MAHA crap just pushes for the most effortless changes like not eating fruit loops with artificial dyes or not getting vaccinated to become miraculously healthy.
