I used to think the seed oil guys were right, now I think they may have stumbled onto one of the most consequential movements of the 21st century. Right behind Bitcoin in terms of importance.

Yeah from my limited knowledge on this, seed oils are one of the biggest cancer causes, while sugar is one of the biggest causes for mental issues at an older age, such as dementia and alzheimer's.
Either way, I've been living as if these statements are true for about a year now by avoiding both as much as possible and I gotta say, I feel pretty damn good compared to before.

Broken money, broken food.
If you fix the money, the food will follow.
If you can get people to notice how seed oil is in everything they eat and how hard it is to avoid it - and how expensive food is without it - it’s hard to ignore and a good gateway to bigger conversations about life, governance, money, incentives, media…
Fix the food, fix the world!
In my opinion they go hand in hand. If you value longevity

RFK might fund that discovery
I went down the seed oil rabbit hole many years before the bitcoin rabbit hole. But it’s more profitable to do that in reverse. :/
I luckily did it in reverse lol 😂
I’ve always had a thought that there’s an order of operations to a good life.
1. Wealth
2. Health
3. Happiness
1. Wealth first because you have to start compounding early.
2. Health second because when you’re young you can kind of get away with not prioritizing health for a time period.
3. Happiness last because it’s elusive and because it’s easier to achieve if you’ve already achieved the other two.
Not sure if I’m correct in thinking this way, but it’s been sort of a life philosophy for me.
How do I get started with the seed oil rabbit hole? What is a good resource?
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?
if you happen to understand spanish, this is a good resource:
Never again
Not one drop

Seed/vegatable oils were intended to be machinery lubricants. They ended up being ineffective so those companies decide to shove it down our throats instead.
In Europe this doesn't seem to be as prominent. I guess the French and Italians kept us on the right track with Butter and Olive Oil. They are good for some things...
