Seed oil avoidance is right-wing coded, it's undeniable.

To be clear, a segment of the online right-wing, I'm not saying literally half the population.

Even taking that claim at face value, "right-wing coded" is hardly the same as "hilariously politicized". Living in rural areas is right-wing coded as well[1], but nobody would seriously call it "hilariously politicized", especially when you consider the broader context of the phrase:

>A lot of people get very angry when seed oil dangers are mentioned, it's hilariously politicized

Can you elaborate further? I think of myself as pretty online (sadly) and I haven't heard anyone, right or left, talk about the politics of seed oils.

EDIT: should've searched first. Sigh.
