Alright, so now I'm left wondering: What about big agriculture?

There's a popular YouTube channel [1] with advocates for a plant based diet, low in fat, yet suspiciously says almost nothing about hydrogenated vegetable oils (canola, soy bean, sunflower, etc).

These oils - according to many studies - are THE leading source of heart disease, right up there with sugar. They're a highly unnatural food, heavily processed, never before in nature were you able to consume the oil extracted from a f*cking sunflower like you can today.

And yet? NutritionFacts.org almost never, and I mean 99.9% of the time never mentions how bad these oils are for you.

Coincidence? I mean really, what CAN you believe these days? There's a study for this, and a study for that. Everything is bad for you.

Hydrogenated vegetable oils are mostly outlawed in the US now. (They are on labels as "trans fats".) They were supposed to be entirely eliminated by 2018, but corporations have got FDA waivers to continue selling poison.

Fred Kummerow spent his whole career, from 1957 until he was 98, getting trans fats out of stuff sold as food. In India and Brazil people are still trying to stop it.
